The "ignore" thread
Anyone want to have a real debate now?
I'd like to talk about health care, and what you all would like to see done, what Obama should change or promote in his plan. I'm not sure Canadian-style health insurance would work in America, though I'd like it to. Discuss!

Re: The "ignore" thread
Canadian style health insurance doesn't work very well in Canada, so I would assume the same problems would happen on a larger scale in the United States. The wait times and the shortage of medical professionals come to mind. Of course, it is possible the latter issue would be resolved if both countries agree upon a more appropriate salary for medical professionals.
I shouldn't be complaining about my country's health care system since I have reaped the benefits since birth... |

I'm ignoring you la la la la la la la
Anyways I'm not too keen on COBRA, never have been never will be. The shit is expensive and is offered to part time people without medical coverage as an option. Too bad it'll cost them 75% of their paycheck. reform COBRA or kill it.

Re: The "ignore" thread
I cannot grow up and you are right I am not particularly classy.
But I should point I like when people disagree with me -- sometimes I learn something new (e.g., a different perspective). When I wrote my comments I did not mean that I did not want to read your thoughts on this debate. I hope that is clearer now.

Re: The "ignore" thread
my comments weren't directed at you, Michelle'sFarm, they were directed at QA.
I come here to debate issues. When topics start degrading into personal attacks, it's time to end them. If Lambert and QA want to honestly debate politics, I'm all ears. But if they're just trying to personally attack me in an effort to discredit my POV on the debate, I think that serves no one. Why would someone post on a political MB if they weren't interested in hearing an opposing view?

Re: The "ignore" thread
"You're gay" out of nowhere and having nothing to do with the topic at hand surely is classy, grown up, and everything that Rob$ accuses us of. I wonder if he even sees the hypocrisy. Who knows? Kettle, pot, black, etc.
I'm interested in hearing intelligent, well-thought out opposing viewpoints. I liked Sam I Am, because he was always respectful and would come up with good arguments (regardless of how much I disagreed with his opinion). I like reading saz's and Michelle's comments, too. They're more to the left than I am, and bring a good perspective to the debate. And Documad is more centrist I am, and a logical thinker, so I always enjoy what she has to say, too. Differing opinions are good. Just stealing other people's words and claiming them to be your own, suckling at the teat of FOX News, and pulling the played-out Nazi card against Obama in the most ridiculous way isn't really intellectual debate. If I wanted to hear that stuff, I'd just turn it to Glenn Beck. Now that that's cleared up, back to the topic at hand. Anyone have any thoughts on how it would affect Canada if the US adopted a similar type of care?

Re: The "ignore" thread
No you don't, you come here to copy and paste things other people have written, and then pretend that you're here debating issues. Where do you get off lecturing people about respect and responsibility? Like you're such a shining example of those two virtues.

Re: The "ignore" thread
Hey! This was supposed to be a Rob$-free thread!
I agree with COBRA. I had it for a few months since my dad's insurance kicks you off at 21, regardless of student status. $300 a month! THREE HUNDRED! It was absolutely ridiculous. What I don't like about insurance companies now is the ridiculous deductibles. You either pay a high premium, or a high deductible. When I was looking for new insurance, I saw I could pay $60 a month for BCBS, but the deductible was $5,000. So, if I broke my leg, I'd have to pay that deductible before they paid anything...kinda seems like I don't have insurance in the first place, no? It just seems ridiculous that they charge so much and make so much profit. I don't know how their CEOs can sleep at night.

Re: The "ignore" thread
I truly believe they just don't know and are listening to the RICH conservative talking heads who are trying to keep them blind and into thinking "investing" in healthcare is in their best interest
Remember when bush tried to push killing SSI for private investment, do we have any idea how much would have been lost during this recent economic crash? Seriously these people have no idea what they are fighting....I fear for many it might be their own interests.
