I sometimes wish I could go back to the fantasy world some of you live in, but then I see my girl or my kids and I wouldn't ever trade them.
I live in the same fantasy that dictates that millions of people can be saved every day at the expense of $3 a month from everyone in the US

you know, the fantasy known as real life

Corderlain doesn't care about saving lives, so the argument ends there

If someone made a video in which they simulate assassination of Obama, I would be furious. For this reason, i'm going to say that snoop dogg is 100% within his rights to make this video but he's also wrong and a richard for doing so.

Joking about assassination isn't funny, especially after what happened to JFK.

can someone non-partisan and not friends with me inform me on my stuffpost : nonstuffpost ratio? i'm curious now.

9081
Only if someone codes a counter for how many times you stuffpost.
bet

9082
can someone code a counter for how many times master matthew tries to sound smart in an area he knows literally nothing about?

9083
300 million times 10
Would be 3 billion a month.
Do we need even 3 billion for a national health care plan?
Why can't there be regulations imposed on health care plans instead?

Do you know how much cancer treatment, surgery, emergency care and other medical services cost? Even with more than 1 trillion dollars the ACA can only manage to cover up to 50% of the medical cost for this stuff.

Charity would probably cover the cost for 100 people.

9084
in what world does charity cover any of that
Matthew's concept of how the world works is very misunderstood

9085
Char-it-y

If ACA was a charity we'd literally be dead. Even if every billionaire CEO donated a huge sum of money it wouldn't be enough to cover the cost. The only way the cost can be achieved is by taxing 300 million americans a small amount each month

9086
this isn't even a good defense, why do you keep repeating it
"because health care isnt a right"

eventually someone will bring up a valid argument and he'll exit with a graceful "lol you're literally trolls bye"

my healthcare plan that I need to afford my medication went from $600 to $1800

So yeah there's a problem right there.
This sounds terrible. I've never actually experienced this issue, because asthma medication is covered fully by my plan.  After ACA, my hospital bill for asthma attacks went from $2,000 to $500. Maybe it's the medication itself or a blowback of some sort, but that sounds like a discrepancy.

Honestly, ACA could use some ironing out to fix the exact issues that you express, but removing it completely will not only forget you over but will forget me & 30 million people over too

Yes, but there is no good reason to tax everyone for health care If the tax is gonna hurt the people who need it too.

Usually the people who need things like Obamacare need all the money they can get.
Literally every government institution is run on taxes. There's no possible way to run a country-wide health care plan without taxing people, just as there's no way to run a military operation in iraq without taxing people.

Corderlain is absolutely resistant to paying even a cent a month for something he doesn't use, even if it means that 52 million people will be saved by health care.

That's literally the definition of selfishness. You wouldn't even give up the smallest thing just so millions of less fortunate people can live

9090
Then who pays for it?
Everyone pays for it. And by pays, i mean you contribute less than a cent.

Society functions by elevating its lowest members of society to the same level as the middle. If you just leave your poor people to die, you don't function or advance properly as a society. You have less workers and less morale, less people to pay money at businesses, and in general the economy fails.
