WHAT ARE THEY GONNA ANIMATE WAKFU ON

I NEED MY FRENCH ANIME MAN

nice to know you're perfectly fine subsidizing crack-whores, Kimon

if he's talking about using "time travel" for instantaneous travel time stuff and all that then that's not a problem

if it's like a "go back in time and change history" kind of thing then that's some SCP-level stuff that needs to go forget itself

Besides, do you really think a trained medical professional can't recognize someone lying about their symptoms? They dont just hand out highly addictive drugs to just anybody who acts sick.

except they totally do and you're full of stuff

Are you kidding me? You need it written down on a fancy piece of paper that people shouldn't be left to die in exchange for their contibution to society to even consider it? Did the government tell you how to wipe your ass, too?

the constitution was made to limit the government's powers you handicap

So let's just clear this up before the debate continues any further: You literally do not give a forget about anyone's life but your own. Nevermind the fact that it would be cheaper overall, even for you, to implement single payer, but this is what you're communicating, yes?

it looks like you're fitting right into the role of Karl Marx considering you're trying to actively demonize anyone who doesn't think like you do

someone should kill him

well, maybe not kill him but I'm seriously advocating for someone to stop this guy from building a time machine
do you know how disastrous that would be?

4073
I can imagine it's a sad life to think that wanting to be alive (as opposed to dead) is selfish

it's sadder that people expect others to pay for their healthcare without contributing whatsoever

4074
tn why would you not want your insurance to cover you

why tf would you think I don't want my insurance to cover me

"We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

The U.S. was founded by liberals, like it or not.

too bad the muslim world's structure and behavior is completely antithetical to what those liberals wrote

Yea but the difference now is that modern liberalism is streaming with garbage identity politics and victimization. I mean I identify as a liberal for the most part but I loving hate being associated with these lgbbq ass kissing, race baiting, pussified modern liberals that's one reason why I never liked it when we all get group up together with those forgets.

time for you to make the distinction between liberalism and leftism

I posted the diagram of a monopolist's demand curve, right?

The price of drugs set by a monopolist is whatever consumers are willing to pay at the profit-maximizing quantity. That's the intersection between the marginal cost of producing another pill/injection/etc and the marginal revenue they receive for each additional pill/injection/whatever they make. The long-run average total cost (stuff like that '2 billion dollars' figure you mentioned) doesn't actually affect the price they set. Meaning even if it cost $0 to get your drug approved, as long as the marginal cost/revenue and the consumer demand curve stays the same, the monopolist charges the exact same price because anything different loses them money.

In other words, this reasoning is false because microeconomics.

okay, I'll admit that's the field I know the least about
encouraging competitiveness elsewhere will still bring down healthcare costs, though; you should be able to buy a plan tailored to you rather than one that has a bunch of extra junk you don't need

This would lower costs among the middle and upper-class, but if you're poor or have pre-existing conditions, you're still forgeted.

so how would you fix it? by implementing subsidies? healthcare providers would only raise their prices then, that's what they did when Obamacare was implemented and it's what happens everywhere else subsidies are implemented

Somehow, I doubt you have the type that actually disqualifies you from health insurance because I believe your self-preservation instincts would take precedence over your desire to push the libertarian line on healthcare.

do asthma and a peanut allergy from birth not count as pre-existing conditions all of a sudden?

Well I'm glad you're not in a difficult situation, but there's really nothing I can do to make my own better. I can't just move to a better paying job without higher education (That I can't afford), and I'm already doing a difficult enough job supporting my family in a place I can already barely afford.

If I lose coverage, I cannot afford new healthcare, I cannot afford to switch jobs to something that gives insurance and I cannot afford insulin without it. What's the magical fix to my situation?

implementing laws that encourage competitiveness will fix your problem, in particular being allowed to buy coverage from other states and lowering the cost of bringing new drugs to market
I think the average drug takes like 2 billion dollars to reach the consumer from conceptualization to mass production, if you lower that cost then they won't have to cover that amount of money being spent and drugs/healthcare will become cheaper as a result
removing restrictions on healthcare plans can also help bring costs down and encourage competitiveness; people think that removing federal healthcare and leaving it to private business would mean that they'd cut corners everywhere they could, but after Obamacare and the provisions that came with it it'd be business Self Delete to deny people with pre-existing conditions and stuff like that
with that in place, you could get a plan tailored to you, with all of the stuff you need and none of the things you don't

those are some of my suggestions at least

Are you ready for them get even higher? Because that's what this does

it makes no sense whatsoever that they'd get higher given that private businesses have a dual interest to keep you alive and to make money while government has neither of those interests
prices will get lower because they want to attract people to buy their healthcare plans, that's what happened with phone networks and cable

Just because family values, loveism, anti-Semitism, barbarism, hostility towards the Western world and general regressiveness is demonstrated by pretty much the entire Muslim world does not mean xenophobia against them is justified... maybe.

"Guess who isn't gonna worry about paying for his health insurance"

obamacare premiums have been rising exponentially you loving handicap

Humor like this is the reason I bought another account

I thought it was because you got your ass kicked by Badspot so now you're going to annoy us with "muh socialism" non-stop as payback
