I was the guy that would have met you at the door with a shotgun saying take your goddamn junk offa my porch, you're destroying my country.

Who said free?  What sort of strawman are you trying to wiggle in?

Taxed, just like the taxes we pay so big oil and banks can pay their idiots millions upon millions in bonuses, pay to lobby congress, pay to back candidates we dont want, pay to... except they dont call them taxes, they get favorable treatments as codb.

But it IS free.  Almost 50% of the country doesn't pay federal income tax.  It is free for them and punitive for the rest of us.  No thanks, I will buy my own.  I don't need a nanny state to provide for me and do a poor job of doing at that.

Sounds fine to me. And when you get sick, and your insurance company drops you because that wasn't part of the bargain, please have the decency to die quietly and not make a scene, OK? I don't want my tax dollars wasted on keeping you alive.

We dont want them, we can take care of ourselves quite well. Now can I have my share of the money the government has pissed away on health care back? TYVM.

And the reason for the 36% request by Anthem the year before (2009)?

And the reason why it requested 18% in Colorado, which was refused and reduced to 10%?

Lets not forget this jewel. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/feb/14/anthem-delay-insurance-rate-increase-amid-criticis/

And you want me to believe what the company says is the reason for increases?

And every other company doing business in California.

This type of intellectual dishonesty is the reason I dont bother posting links and why the only people you have credibility with are your two yenta friends from "CM - The View"

67,000 specialists in residency spread out over 24+ specialties and 60 or so subspecialties, that isn't nearly enough coming through the pipeline to meet demand. We don't have enough physicians in general.

66,000 PCP's vs 67,000 Specialists in residency training. With a shortage expected to be around 40,000 in 8 years.

BASIC PAY FOR ACTIVE DUTY SOLDIERS*

Chart reflects Basic Pay only and does not include bonuses, allowances and other benefits.

You're missing the entire point... the comment was in response to military cuts vs. paying for education.  Our military don't make shit as it is... no flippin' way in hell I'd ever side with the previous poster to cut a CENT from the military in order to send a doctor to schoool -- who'll then make $200,000 a year while the soldier -- who gives his/her life for this county -- makes peanuts!!! 

Actually it is you who has missed the point.
No one but you is talking about cutting the military pay...what I said was that there is money for the war in the sandbox but none for education.
Stoping the war does not mean cutting pay to the military.

Nope. We need it to take care of your neighbors when they get sick. It's all part of the social compact in your community. Don't like it? Tough shit.
