CampeadorWell, you can't say I didn't give you fair warning, you little celibate midget.
I've read your sop-story before, and I've read all the pro-Obamacare propaganda (nice motherjones source you've got there). Also your CBO source simply goes to the overall budget projections (which have often been incorrect), so why not reference the exact point in it that proves your point?
Also, from what I understand the lower level of uninsured has been the product of Medicaid expansion more than anything else. Of course, if the government hands out free healthcare the number of uninsured will go down.
And no, you do not have a right to health care. I've explained this tirelessly, you do not have a right to the property of someone else simply because you have a pulse. The only legitimate rights are negative rights.
Also, it's disingenuous to say that you would pay more taxes, when you currently probably pay none. You should show more respect to people like me who are forced to pay more to support your mediocrity. You are a stingy asshole, get a real job and pay your "fair share". Time to move out of your mom's house.
Also, all the state-run Obamacare exchanges are already bankrupt, insolvent, or on the path to insolvency. One could only imagine that the federal exchange is on the same trajectory, especially when they're forced to pick up the pieces of the state exchanges. What a horrible, arguably criminal, misuse of taxpayer money.

Bahaha, celibate midget! Like Dr Evil's little twin? Because that's kind of how I imagined you with your pent-up anger, name calling, and frustration-based rants based off nothing but your opaque, conservatively tinted window to the world. Take your horse blinders off and see you're in the minority here. I'm not really sure what you were warning me about though. Am I supposed to feel threatened by a few angry words from some stranger on the internet because he follows my posts in the Ladies Men cult? If anything, that's kind of creepy on your part.
Anyways, why should anybody respect you more when all you've done on this website over the years is belittle others from behind a keyboard? That's about the least respectable thing you can possibly do. You'll get respect when you deserve it, and calling my cancer "story" a sob story does not beget respect. Quite the opposite. I used it as a relevant example of how the affordable care act helped create a positive outcome in someone's (in this case, my own) life, not as a sob story. I now have health care coverage when I was unable to receive it before. I don't' plan on using it, but I have it in case I get injured or get sick. Everyone deserves that right.
Also, of course I pay taxes. I run my own business and work 3 different jobs, including my own business, plus any other temp work I can pick up throughout the year. What do you do that makes you feel so superior to everyone? Your username aside, the only thing I'm seeing you " the champion" of is a bunch of laughs by everyone else at your own expense.
I would absolutely pay more in taxes if it meant everybody had the right to health care. It's called altruism. You should look up the definition if it seems like a foreign word to you. The USA is the only major country in the world that doesn't offer the common decency of health care to it's citizens. No, I don't want it to get to the point of Frances tax rates, but certain things like health care and education are worthy of increasing taxes to invest in public services by which, time after time, have proven to generate economic prosperity.
The prices in the health care industry/pharmeceutical industry are astronomically and artificially high in the US when compared to other countries as well. The "tax burden" wouldn't be nearly as bad if the big pharma owners were reigned like Volcker did with the banks and regulated them better. Health care services have become a cash hungry industry that cares about profit over the health of their clients just as the banks have done with the tax payer's money. That is an unjust way to run a service that is supposed to help people stay healthy.
Health care is not property. It's a service, hence the word "care". That is an invalid argument. Sure, some people own businesses that provide the service, but if that is a private service then they are the exception to what we are talking about here. Everyone has the right to become a doctor and start a private service if they want to. However, healthcare should remain a public service provided to and for the people to keep our country healthy and productive. A healthy country is a productive country. If you want to pay more for a private doctor, then so be it. That's not a relevant discussion for this topic though.
Bernie Sanders is trying to provide a platform to the masses who are currently voiceless in order to create positive social and economic change, while aiming to bringing down corrupt businessmen in the process. If you don't agree with that, you've got some screws loose.
Your tasteless and thoughtless rants are quite entertaining actually, so please do respond with more middle school girl style name-calling and finger pointing hissy fits. I'll be waiting in my mom's house for the response.
