Why would big CEOs be democrats?

I think at some point the uber-rich lose touch with the reality of their wealth. If the government takes some more of it they won't even notice. When you make hundreds of millions and the government wants a few hundred thousand more it's not worth their time to fight.

well if the party that wants more of their money is passing stuff that helps them, that is especially true.

Show me those reports. Let's see documentation of your points. most are LW spins or outright lies. Some are "so what". He did away with individual mandate? So damn what? He gave tax cuts to All. I've seen no reduction or freezing of Social Security. He cut food stamps to Adult males with no dependent children.

Cutting food stamps like that is discriminatory and against the law. As long as we have a food stamp program, it must NOT discriminate against members of a specific age or sex.

Republicans did away with the individual mandate. It was not just Trump. Without an individual mandate for people to buy insurance, the government needs a single payer sytem that automatically gives every citizen health care from birth to death. Which one would you prefer?

Also, you have not proven me wrong about abortion because you can't.

False dichotomy. Why not just let people who want health insurance to buy it. You know, like auto insurance and homeowners insurance?

Car insurance is required by law, isn't it? If so, there is no reason to make health insurance optional.

Liability insurance is required. Not insuring one's car.

If people want to insure their bodies, they should buy insurance, like they buy collision insurance and homeowners insurance.

You should not be required to pay me. You've got an argument with the busybody state, not me.

So you would have hospitals turn away a car accident victim who can not prove he has insurance?

Of course not. They would treat him, he would pay his hospital bill, and his insurance would reimburse him, per the insurance policy.

Uh....he has no proof of insurance on him.


So turn him away....right?

Absolutely not. Fix him up. That's the job. That's what "hospital" means: shelter for the needy.

Then don't run a hospital if you don't want to take care of the indigent. Leave running hospitals to those who give a **** about their fellow man.

What if he can't afford to pay the hospital bill? Owning a car does not equate to having a lot of money left over for health care.
 
Samwise said:
I'm sure he could solicit concerned folks like you to help him pay his hospital bill. Through http://ineedhelpwithmyhospitalbill.com

No, we need the government to pay for health care so everyone can get what they need. All American citizens need to get the same quality care. The alternative is force every health insurance company to have a nonprofit charity for their poorest patients.

What they need or what they want?

High quality health care, of course. It is one thing if you live in the country and are not near any cities with hospitals, but nobody in a metropolitan area should get less care or lower quality care just because of finances.

So the common folk who had their gold coins forcibly taken from them by the government were made better off how? Now they need 800 fiat dollars for the same twenty dollar gold coin they owned before.
