If you cannot come upon empathy for the other on your own you must be forced to empathise whether you can personally afford it or not. The plus for the statists like ARM is that the added expense and thus the ensuing poverty is cause to involve you even deeper in the machinations of the state. You exist to serve the state.

Obama was speaking to the fact that he wasn't making companies re-write plans to restrict doctor choice, and only a disingenuous or completely ignorant liar would think that he was saying that he could suddenly KEEP insurance companies from restricting provider access any more than he and you guys couldn't keep them from restricting that access before. <br /><br />You Sir are a liar.

Don't worry about that. There's an actual law, now. Discuss its provisions. Let us know how the Republican "smaller" bill is actually "better." Discuss the results. 20 million now actually have care. Go to the visual NYT links for the low-down on costs. These are all facts. You can worry about the propaganda, let the people who give a damn discuss the provisions. And let me know when you're ready to proclaim that 20 million with or without insurance IS an actual issue. If you don't care who's in the market, then there's nothing to even discuss in the first place. Either access and coverage for your fellow citizens matters to you or it doesn't, and if it doesn't, go tell it to the Big Money Oligarchs funding repeal efforts. I already know where they stand.

Even if the guy she mocked on her show for his haircut didn’t have cancer, so what?

She picked on someone who to her was just a random nobody that she thought she could mock in a juvenile manner and get away with because he’d never be able to do anything about it. The fact that this innocent kid turned out to also be fighting cancer just further emphasizes that Samantha Bee in addition to being unfunny is a bully and a coward. <br /><br />Thorley Winstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262423151559851671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-24194746040077963092017-03-10T10:04:56.092-06:002017-03-10T10:04:56.092-06:00It would be nice to find out how many dollars the ...<i>It would be nice to find out how many dollars the "Full Frontal" producers contributed to young Kyle's GoFundMe page. </i><br /><br />It's reported as 1,000.<br /><br />Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09159859859522615418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-63034848508092559682017-03-10T09:56:07.973-06:002017-03-10T09:56:07.973-06:00@Katr, why not?

Receiving coverage through your job or government, or receiving a government subsidy masks the effect on cost. It doesn't make the effect go away. If you are an employer or federal taxpayer you've been negatively affected. If you are an employee, you have been negatively affected unless you believe your employer doesn't pass the additional cost on to you in one way or another.<br /><br />Blessed are those who must buy their own coverage, for they show the full rotten effects of Obamacare without intermediary masking. <br /><br />Even if the cartoon is correct rather than deceitful and that they represent only 3% of the market, what moral justification is there for singling them out to bear the cost of providing all the supposed good things about Obamacare? Tax the responsible premium payers? It doesn't have the same cache as tax the rich or tax the 1%. Justifying singling out a group for special deliberate discrimination for no other reason than it is "small" may be good politics, but it is morally ugly.CWJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03598487232861475833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-145623226184851932017-03-10T08:51:24.248-06:002017-03-10T08:51:24.248-06:00@MM: "We ought to have known better, and we h...@MM: "We ought to have known better, and we hope to learn from this and not be this cheap and ugly again."
