It doesn't need to be repealed, his lordship can just grant us all a waiver.

Re: It is a badge of honor

I take good care of myself, don't have any bad habits, and have very good health.

I should be rewarded with a cheap cat policy. Why penalize me? I missed out on all the fun you sick old farts had, why stick me for the tab? How is that being fair?

Re: Re:yellow no. 2-or not so great

GTO, they were not posted in the same post as I had pointed out.  Later you posted a great post that was relevant and added to the discussion.

 

"4wd, I can't believe you just wrote what you did. Do you believe your invincible? I hope for your sake you stay healthy and accident free, until your 100. I worked on a farm, milked cows, ground feed, baled hay, picked corn,(with picker, and a combine). I have all 10 fingers and all 10 of my toes, but I was not with out health problems. Many, many trips to the chiropractor, fell though a floor we were tearing down, to a cement floor, 2 hernia operations, not to mention bronchitis problems( musty oat dust), and that doesn't include my kids and my wife! So congratulations, I hope the bubble you've built around yourself and your family never breaks, because if it does you $5000 deductible is going to eat you alive."

I simply don't see what you feel you are accomplishing or adding of value to the discussion when you tell another poster who had not been rude to you to:

Go play in your feces like the good little monkey.

I think, I doubt, probably, it might, first this and then that.  Don't you guys KNOW anything?  Yellowstone MIGHT blow up tomorrow or even later today.

Re: You proved my point again bart

"My insurance when I was working cost right at $900/mo but my employer paid about $800 of that."

-You never had to pay the $900/mo, You paid $100/mo which is less than what I pay for my ugly deductable cat policy. I never had no employer pay a dime to help me out, or maybe I would have taken out a dental policy or maybe lower ded. Maybe even visit the dr more often too to see if anything aching or sniffling can be cured. Makes a big difference if you pay all the premium costs yourself or not in what kind of a policy you carry. And I will follow Gore's lead and drop my Cat policy and go naked until something comes up, then buy the gov policy. If it is cheaper paying the penalty for having no policy than the gov policy. I have seen no figures on the penalty yet.

Re: It is a badge of honor

Well, if everything you say about your health is true then the only thing wrong with you is that you are dumber than a box of anvils.  If you don't need to do the Doctor bit, then save that money and put it to work and then if you need it, you would have it but if you never needed it, it would grow into a small treasure.  Why give it to some insurance company which will try to screw you out of most of it anyway if you try to collect on it.

Re: You proved my point again bart

Go for it!!  I sincerely hope you win.  It will make ZERO difference to me and my wife.  We will go on being treated for what ails us and never pay a dime.  I want to hear how you make out though.

Re: Strike it down!

Your Dr. didn't explain it very well to you if that is what he told you.  A cancer cell is not something in your body as such.

 

"When the reproductive rate of cells exceeds their death rate, the tissue becomes enlarged, forming a tumor. Although these cells are initially identical to the others in the tissue, they gradually take on characteristics of malignancy. The cancer cells reproduce rapidly and tend to be abnormally large or small. Malignant tumors grow very quickly and invade other tissues. Cancer types are named for the location of the tissue that gives rise to the tumor and the organs involved. Genetics, viruses, or even environmental exposure to substances like those in cigarette smoke may cause tumor formation. However, not all tumors are malignant; tumors that grow within a well-defined capsule are benign and unlikely to be life-threatening."

As to the "always finding something", I can only say that I think you live in the dark ages somewhere, probably central Iowa or maybe Nebraska.

Re: It is a badge of honor

You just aren't old enough to have tasted the  "benefits" of the aging process nor the escalation of insurance premiums. Those of us that have born the $16K annual premiums with a $2000 deductible and an 80/20 copay can tell you that health care is pretty costly.  Why would anyone do that? Because they have to pay their bills and own assets that they deem necessary to protect.

 

Your due for an educating young man and mediocre health coverage is not cheap. It's more expensive when your life circumstances change. You are not immortal or immune to life's pitfalls. I hope you don't suffer these possible afflictions but they can sneak up on you whether you are healthy or not.

 

Perhaps a solution is for people to buy coverage and if they cannot afford it get subsidized coverage and failing to take that initiative would be eligible for NO health care if they cannot pay for it themselves.

 

I assume you are against federally subsidized crop insurance. Why would anyone with no crops want to subsidize your crop insurance?

Re: Re:yellow no. 2-or not so great

Is there another website that you've been posting on? Because, to my recollection, I have never seen YOU answer one of his inane, obtuse, ignorant posts. Why is that, I wonder? Don't bother, I aready know why, and so do you.

I loved the Oliver 2655, but this idiot embarasses me, and should you too!
