Ya...know that's funny you mentioned him(that cock-sucker). I always hated that east coast cock-sucker. Even back when he was supposedly cool...he was on some dogshit station in L.A. I never got the joke of that cock sucker. No clue why that cock sucker was popular. What a cock-sucker that guy is/was. But ya know...a nice shotgun all right up in my ass is always great.
but please send gifts for X-mas.

He's furiously googling an attempt at an answer.

HAHAHA! Saying that Ahmadinejad runs Iran is like saying Bush runs America! HAHAHA! We all know that Dick Cheney runs this country. So the question is.....who is Iran's Dick Cheney?

Mike, I'm woefully ignorant about health care issues. From what I've seen of McCain's plan (the little I understand of it) I'm not real supportive. Like I say though it's not a strong area of mine to comment on much less debate. I do know this. Costs are greater than what many folks can afford. I'm in the same boat. I'm paying 5k just for me and I'm still in my 40's with no medical history. OTOH, I think the cost of insurance is too cheap. I honestly don't know how an insurer can take me at 5k a year KNOWING that I'm going to ding them for a quarter mil (or more) someday.
Irregardless if it's Uncle Sam or Blue Cross underwriting it, Americans seek to consume more health than they want to pay for. Taxes or traditional premiums still have to equal (or some semblance of) zero sum. One reason I'm HAPPY about asset devaluation is it's a wake-up call. Perhaps your insurance premium should be MORE than your mortgage! As a society we've OVER valued assets and UNDER valued necessities. I've often wondered why Congress can't get together with the "big insurers" and work out some sort of free market solution where folks in need get some sort of bare bones coverage paid for the government. Like 1000% of stuff though this would be better administered by the States with Congress setting some national guidelines. Tort reform would help too. MD's are paying too much for their own insurance and those costs are being passed right on down to patients.
From the little I know of National Health in Canada and the U.K. the notion of a quasi-socialized program is doomed in the U.S. Those countries-and I don't say this to be racist-have a healthier demographic and even they are strapped by run away costs, rationing and high levels of dissatisfaction. Florida is full of ex-pat Canadian doctors. Until someone adds it all up-what are our present costs, our "getting grayer" costs, premiums paid privately, Medicare obligations ect. I think it's unworkable on a scale of 300,000,000 people.
On your second point I'm not sure what you're referring to? Iran?
I guess this comes down to what one's priorities are. In the case of health care, whether it be government managed or privatized, we will always pay in some form or another via taxes or through higher private premiums.
The real question is how much do you want to overtly help the other guy. Private companies are about efficient profits and the government is about helping (albeit inefficiently) everyone. Which comes first if you're a private corporation - the individual's well being or the company's stock price? Every time the company decides to include another form of coverage, they may be potentially exposing themselves to higher costs. Do you see the conflict of interest there?
Let me explain that last point. In my view, and, I could be wrong about this, insurance, in any form, is essentially everyone paying a premium into one large pool. Individual participants, as they need surgeries or if their house burns down, draw from that communal pool. The concept of insurance, whether it be private or government controlled, is a form of socialized risk management. The question now becomes whether or not the government should run this type of communal asset - at the very least regulate the shit out of it. What's to stop the insurance provider from misuse of that communal pool, or, not using that pool money towards the intended purpose... In general, it seems inconsistent to me that health insurers can operate as a for-profit entities while still providing the best possible care for the individual.
My concern is that McCain doesn't want to admit that private health insurance companies have a conflict of interest even when that's an inherent aspect of "free market" health care... how exactly should these insurers profit is a scary topic IMO. The less deregulation of the community pool money, the more apt these companies will be in abusing those funds, which will cost us substantially in the long run.
In my second point I'm referring to the "no preconditions" debate, i.e. the US, under Bush/McCain will not talk to "dangerous" nations without preconditions.
