Author Topic: [NEWS] Republican Obamacare replacement to leave 52 million uninsured  (Read 12502 times)

This kills the activity in OT. Definitely needs a limit not a block.
there's other things to discuss than politics, and the limit may as well be one because they're all about post us election salt

Maybe we should impose some sort of limit on the number of news threads allowed on the front page of OT besides the megathread?
I think there's a stark difference between threads about the news and threads that use the news tag

it's easier to split big discussions like this into separate threads than having ten discussions happening at the same time in a megathread

99% of the problem of too many political threads stems from the fact that tony isnt ban on sight yet

also lets not lie the politics megathread is just for memes

youve made plenty of news threads what are you talking about lol

no point in posting these outside of the politics megathread unless its news not regarding politics. thats the entire point of megathreads

youve made plenty of news threads what are you talking about lol
i also dont have 2-3 "news" threads on the front page of off topic at all times like tony does

To get back on topic? What does it matter? Health care isn't a right and taxing people for not having it is ludicrous. The vast majority of people haven't used obamacare once since its been implemented. Sure some people would be lost without it, but this is a whole vs part issue.

tony hasn't even posted in this thread?

I'd say people have a right not to go bankrupt over medical issues they have no control over. Most US bankruptcies are from medical issues. I thought you guys supported the land of opportunity?

why does that matter? he still posts way too many political threads and it'd be better if he was gone

it matters because it's COMPLETELY OFF-TOPIC

I dunno it looked to me as if you missed his point

can't tell if you're trolling or actually dumb

ACA has seen about 18-22 million people since it's been implemented, which isn't exactly the vast majority of people but it's definitely significant. There's around 50 million people below the poverty line in the US, so an affordable health care act is beneficial.

Completely rewriting the health care system without a proper plan will screw over a lot of people, and you make it sound like its no big deal to be without health insurance. Just for reference, i'm asthmatic and whenever I switch plans, which usually takes about a month for me to get new medication, and until then i'm in complete agony. If ACA were suddenly removed, i'd have to go through all the steps to get on health insurance again, which would probably take a couple months. For that entire period i'd be in danger of ending up in the hospital without any coverage, and medication would cost around 70$ every time.

I'm not trolling, and you made yourself look dumb by skimming over his valid point like that, you very well could have said that it's off topic in the first place otherwise we wouldn't be having this dumb discussion.

pulling the rug out from under a bunch of poor people isn't going to help anyone
