"Overcoming Obamacare"

I have made my personal opinions widely known on Obamacare from day one. You however, smothered in socialist dogma and a cloying idolization of Barack Obama, refuse to even acknowledge an alternative argument.

As far as I can recall, you have advanced two alternatives:

• The uninsured poor have an obligation to die
• Let's go back to the way things were

Both of these plans are specious and deserving of enormous amounts of ridicule.

If you've advanced another alternative, I'm not aware of it.

To my knowledge nobody has ever advanced a theory confirming your sense of awareness, just the opposite.

Knowledge is not your strength. Especially the explanations.

The only alternative on offer is John McCain's vouchers, which would result in much more government intrusion, and doesn't even have the support of many Republicans.

I'll take that as confirmation that you had no other alternatives to offer, just as I suspected.

I don't deserve my government? I fucking pay fo it ! And I'm not crying like a little baby about the taken penny that may be in use for somebody else in society who has to pay either.

Huh? Could you clarify that?

They likes to move the goalposts.

I finished reading Overcoming Obamacare last night. Interesting reading, though I didn't agree with much of it.

One giant obstacle about Republican attempts to privatize medical insurance completely in America is the fact that somewhere between 65-80% of Americans have employer-provided, and usually employer-subsidized, health insurance. There's no compelling reason to price shop, which allows prices to rise indiscriminately (as we've seen over the past 40 years).

Decoupling health insurance would put competitive pressure on the healthcare providers, but would also lower the amount of people covered if people were forced to write a check each month (lots of folks would go...hmmm I gotta buy Christmas presents, I'll let the health insurance slide..). It's simply human nature.

How could the IRS, a government agency tasked with collecting taxes, asking people if they have handed their money over to a private company and if not, penalizing people for not handing over their money to a private company, be less intrusive than vouchers? It's none of the government's business in the first place whether or not one has insurance, and forcing people to hand over their money to private companies borders on fascism.

If ever Republicans could point to big government Democrats, this would be it. And that's saying a lot considering the massive government intrusions into people's personal lives the Republicans have foisted on this country despite their supposed mantra of smaller government.
