#170 goy:
“Do you pay for food, gas, housing, a car, heat, electricity, water or any OTHER routine cost of living using an insurance policy? No?”
Hang on, goy, the guy’s only been in office for 8 months…
“And while they’re all more expensive than we’d like them to be, are the prices for THOSE routine costs of living skyrocketing the way health care is? No? Really? Any idea why? Think about it.”
Uhhhh, because Cap and Trade hasn’t yet kicked in?
“Insurance is the problem. It prevents the consumer from putting downward pressure on prices, the way we do in every other market. Eliminate comprehensive health insurance, and you eliminate the primary mechanism behind skyrocketing costs: the “insurance will cover it” mindset.”
You’re making a lot of sense here. You don’t fill out an insurance claim for an oil change, do you?
Please bear in mind my bit about Civil Servants belonging to unions above.
As long as there’s a permanent class of advocates to increase the size of ANY government program, we are going to be fighting this same battle in many different guises.
