So just to be clear, you do not, have not, will not, purchase insurance, med or auto.....since insurance is the creation of risk pools where you do not actually fund in total your own costs.
I see, so that is "No, I have never nor will I ever buy HI".I pay for my own healthcare, if I cannot pay for it I work with either charities, local services including many free clinics and don't need another federal bureaucracy to "help" me. Welcome back seagull.
I see, so that is "No, I have never nor will I ever buy HI".
So again, just to be clear, you also have never nor will you ever purchase auto insurance?
I choose to drive and buy auto insurance as protection against other drivers like you. Millions of Americans choose not to drive and thus don't have auto insurance. Millions of other Americans can afford their own health insurance costs and choose not to buy health insurance. You have no problem having the govt. mandate the purchase vs. being held responsible for not having insurance and losing their assets because of poor decision making. Big govt. liberals like you are very naïve.
So not only do you participate in risk pools, which is not "fully funding" your own risk, you participate in MANDATED risk pools to boot.I choose to drive and buy auto insurance as protection against other drivers like you.
You sir and I have a different opinion as to what works. To you getting paid and having everyone insured is working. Mine is being denied my doctor and my insurance company because of ACA and mine is the cost associated with what I have to spend and who I am spending more on.
You don't seem to comprehend personal responsibility at all and thus have no problem taking money from me to pay you for your services.
What part of me being forced to contribute to Medicare for decades and then expecting something in return do you not understand? I paid for my insurance coverage that I am getting today again something you don't understand.
That wasn't the point, the point was that supposedly he does not depend on risk pools (other people funding your coverage when it outstrips your capital), he supposedly fully funds his own health care.Plus, government is not in the business of subsidizing auto insurance premiums with money it takes from others, so the comparison is invalid in the first place.
So not only do you participate in risk pools, which is not "fully funding" your own risk, you participate in MANDATED risk pools to boot.
And earlier I asked if you purchase into a medical risk pool (aka insurance where the costs are distributed), you claimed you "paid for your own HC", implying you do not participate in medical risk pools....but then I find that in fact you do have health insurance:
So, the point is, you don't actually fully fund your own care, you participate in a risk pool to avoid full costs.
So then you admit that you do not "fully fund" your health care, since insurance is a means to mitigate the full costs.Of course I participate in risk pools for that is what insurance is.

Hold on there, a moment ago you were chiding folks for not fully funding their own care, now you are making complaints about their not utilizing those services.Healthcare is available through most states now either Medicaid which many don't even know they are qualified for or many other state and local programs showing once again as a liberal you want to spoon food others, be the nanny for them when all you are really doing is giving federal bureaucrats more control and more money.
Why else would the Dem's have to start a race war? Motivate their African-American voting block. Failing that, and they are done for.
No, you just expect others to fully fund your medical costs when those costs exceed your premium.When I stated that I paid for my own healthcare I obviously meant my own insurance. I pay the premiums and don't expect you to send me your tax dollars to supplement me.
The United States health care system is the most expensive in the world, but this report and prior editions consistently show the U.S. underperforms relative to other countries on most dimensions of performance. Among the 11 nations studied in this report—Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States—the U.S. ranks last, as it did in the 2010, 2007, 2006, and 2004 editions of Mirror, Mirror. Most troubling, the U.S. fails to achieve better health outcomes than the other countries, and as shown in the earlier editions, the U.S. is last or near last on dimensions of access, efficiency, and equity.

Last week on Fox News, Ryan was also unable to answer Chris Wallace's questions in regards to a Republican alternative.
For those who really, really hate the "socialistic" Obamacare system - what's your alternative?
Which is why they are pushing the confederate flag issue. They want racial tension during the 2016 campaign season. The attempt to play the so they race card over voter ID bills in the 2014 election did not work out so they are trying a different tactic. They feel that racial tensions are the only possible way they will keep the same level of African Americans voters going to the polls as did in 2008 and 2012. Look for them to try to keep the flag flap going all the way into November 2016.
Kinda makes you wonder about how Holder and Obama have handled Ferguson and the others.
I'm of the mind to let the act run it's course. Let it be fully enacted and fall apart on it's own. Once the insurance companies start failing and the people who actually PAY for health insurance explode and the whole thing will die on it's own.
not that hard Republicans.
Sounds like you've articulated the current GOP strategy for running the country.
If you can't have it your way (even if you have no coherent idea what you want), don't improve on things, just stomp your feet and sulk.

The Party of "NO". It worked so well when Cruz led the Repubs in shutting down the government.
Except that the government did not shut down. It did not come anywhere close to shutting down. A few non critical government services were put on hold for a few days. The government was up and running the entire time.
Yeah, it only cost an extra $24 billion during the shutdown.
