But it isn't opinion on my part. Simple fact being:
Read the fly leaf on the book "War and Peace"
Read the book "War and Peace'
Read the flyleaf on "Herman's Great Adventure"
Read the book "Herman's Great Adventure"
Does the difference make it's self known? :wink:
Wow, you even came back to edit it...I must have touched a nerve...:lol:
No, just trying to help you. :coffeepap
Save it, you'll never convince me that I need a nanny state to help in anything. :coffeepap
Those are works of art, they are literature, completely different from a piece of legislation. I can't help you understand a piece of art without you reading it or showing it to you, but I can present you with a sheet or two of information that accurately describes the details of a mortgage.
Again, you miss the mark. Wildly might I add.
And yes, your comment that small bills don't require much reading to understand is pure opinion. It's nothing but opinion. It's not wrong simply because it's an opinion, but an opinion it remains none the less. Maybe the problem is you don't understand what an opinion is?
Not until you need care you can't get. :coffepap
Exactly, I've read a few sources on the bill. What couldn't I have learned about the bill by reading a few sources or the bills summary? What could I not learn through this method? Where's the hidden part that I could not possibly now unless I read the actual text of the bill?
Actually, your previous posts were intelligent, if a little misguided IMO.
It's not changing the subject. It's pointing out that preventative medicine is cheaper than emergency care. I could have just as easily used blood pressure medication vs treatment after a stroke. Point remains the same regardless.
BTW, any time you ask if it's you, it's a safe assumption that, yes, yes it is you.
I have no idea what you could or couldn't have learned.
Well at least a little bit of it is starting to sink in for you...
Yes it is. No one goes to the emergency room to get birth control pills just like nobody goes to the emergency room to get blood pressure medication.
Sigh...
Of course no ones going to the emergency room for blood pressure medication, that's the entire point of it. Preventative care is cheaper than emergency room care. I've put it as simply as possible. I can't help you out beyond that.
Sigh ....
That was your example not mine. I can't help it if you don't even remember what you post.
Many are going to see that happen under government mismanagement....:coffeepap
And your response was "nobody goes to the emergency room to get blood pressure medication", which shows me that you don't even understand the argument. High blood pressure can cause a stroke. Or an aneurysm. Compare the cost of subsidizing someone's health insurance which aides them in going to the doctor more often, and lets them catch things like high blood pressure, and provides them reasonable access to blood pressure medication vs. the cost of them being ignorant of their condition and having an aneurism. Or a stroke. Even you can figure out which is cheaper. Hope fully. But you're prolly still scratching your head saying noone goes to the emergency room for blood pressure medication.
Keep dancing. Why is it so hard for you to admit what you said
Obama care takes choice away. Some people preferred a low deductible and frequent doc visits.
Yes it is. No one goes to the emergency room to get birth control pills just like nobody goes to the emergency room to get blood pressure medication.
So what changes in the system again regarding the uninsured, beside paying more for their emergency care?
Nonsense. The sky will not fall. More will likely get more than were.
You hope that is the case. If so, it'd be a first in centralized health care.
I work in a hospital and I can positively say that people DO come to the ER to get preventative maintenance drugs. They come for the sniffles. They come for back pain. They come for little rashes and stomach aches. They come for headaches. People come to the ER for everything because they can't be refused until they are seen and verified to be at least medically stable. Medicaid pays for them to come to the ER. Many doctors won't take medicaid patients because the payments are too low so they can't get primary care doctors. So they come to the ER.
Nonsense. You misinterpret other such healthcare systems. You accept propaganda on the subject. They spend less than we do. And have better access. However, we don't have that type of system.
But what they don't come for are things like birth control pills and blood pressure medicine as these require more than just symptoms to diagnose. If they didn't you wouldn't need a prescription for them.
Obamacare is not a centralized healthcare system, it is a hodge podge cobbled together mandatory mess. I think the ultimate goal is single payer and that is what the dem's should have been honest about and proposed. I am open to the idea but we needed an honest debate on how much it would cost and how it would be financed as in which taxes go up and by how much. What we have now is gov bureaucracy at its worst.
