Apparently I am more of a Texan than you will ever be and I moved here in 1992. I prefer to take care of myself vs. having you do it for me. If I couldn't do it I would go to my church and local charities. Amazing how many free clinics there are in the Houston Area not funded by ACA. that shows the difference between me and you
The main difference is I live in the real world.
I was born in Texas in 1952, but you are welcome to the state, after all it's the conservatives who have made it the dump it is becoming. By the time I leave Texas I will be on Medicare, so a continued thank you for your federal tax money I will spend in the future.
Interesting, so you believe this country was built on a faceless Federal Taxpayer to fund your healthcare program? As for Medicare apparently you don't realize that you and your employer contributed to SS and Medicare throughout your work career and that is what you are supposed to get when you retire, not someone else's contribution. Let me know what your neighbor says about paying for your healthcare?
I told you, you're my neighbor and evidently you don't like it. Too bad you will have to deal with it. Don't worry, we all have difficulties in life to overcome, I'm sure you will do fine.
No, I am not your neighbor and it isn't uncommon for people like you to fail to go face to face with anyone to ask for money yet go to a faceless taxpayer because that is the easy way out. The advent of the computer makes going faceless a lot easier
Like I said...pathetic attempt to hide from their disgustingly racist, bigoted, and hateful past.
Of course you would but why don't you go next door and ask your neighbor to pay for your healthcare costs? You have no problem accepting money from a faceless taxpayer so how about looking your neighbor in the eye and ask him/her for the money
May I point out the private insurance works on this principal.
Except that private insurance had one major difference -- consent.

Do you live under the belief that you have to give an affirmative consent for all things in our nation in which you participate in one way or another?
May I point out the private insurance works on this principal. You are either a funder or beneficiary. We do not have pay-as-you-go health care, (although prior to the PPACA, we had it more than most countries as you could be rolled out the system with a pre-existing condition). No one pays dollar for dollar on his/her healthcare. You pay your premiums, which have baked in a estimated probability that you get a disease or condition that is financially catastrophic. Since the premium is based on an expected value (probability * cost * mark-up), should you actually get the disease, you neighbor pays the freight. If, instead, he gets the disease instead of you, you pay for your neighbor. The only difference between private health insurance and a government health insurance is the profit motive (which can be a good or a bad thing)..
A lot of National defense spending is done without my consent also, but themes the breaks.
Are you asking a legal question (which is pointless)?
Simply a question arising from your statement. No legal opinion is necessary as we are not in court.
Are you asking if I prefer consent to be the relevant factor in relationships and business transactions?
Wow, you will go to no end to distort and lie about the Reagan record. Had a very good friend stationed in Granada who was saved by the U.S. Marines there and he tells a different story but then again you are an expert in just about everything even though you were never there.
Oh no - something much more to the point arising from what you said in your own post - namely what the heck does CONSENT have to do with a national program which applies to the citizenry which has been passed by the peoples government and upheld by the judiciary?
Except national defense is in the Constitution, healthcare isn't
Yes, and except for Federal Govt. mandates the communities in TX take care of their own which is the right way of doing things, not delegating responsibility for your state to the Federal Taxpayers
Except national defense is in the Constitution, healthcare isn't
The founders would role over in their graves if they knew the size and scope our defense spending today. Most of them didn't even like the idea of a standing army and preferred the country be defended by citizen militias.
Because the Constitution says the govt. will do it. where does the Constitution mandate that the Federal taxpayers fund your health insurance. One of your most idiotic posts ever
Typical liberalism/socialism where people like you are jealous of what others have and thus have to punish wealth creation. Tax cuts to the rich mean the rich get to keep more of what they earn and thus have the choice of where to spend it. That doesn't work for people like you who never understand what the rich do with their money and the jobs that money creates. The rich will never spend the way you or other socialists want thus have to be punished. You need to realize that the rich don't have enough money to fund the liberal spending appetite.
As for the debt. let's start with 1980
Debt to the Penny (Daily History Search Application)
Carter 900 billion
Reagan 1.7 trillion
GHW Bush 1.4 trillion
Clinton 1.4 trillion
GW Bush 4.9 trillion
Obama 7.6 trillion
How is your math?
So you lied when you said you were not asking a legal question. Again, the legal aspect of that is pointless. Huuur its the law.
