You know — they PASSED this freaking bill, deemed in Constitutional — and yet they are STILL bit ching.
What’s it going to take to shut these libs up? They will just NEVER be satisfied — you could cut this country down to the quick to pay for their every need, and I think they’d still whine like 3-year olds.
They seriously have bottomless pits for souls.
I'm talking about middle class America, where most have had their hours slashed, jobs/careers lost, benefits dumped or made all but worthless. Ya think these people, who can barely buy food, gas or pay their mortgage have the money to save up for major medical expenses?
Get real.
What gets me is their obsessive desire to screw around with our lives, to ban things for "our own good." My hotair comment: The liberal bansters will ban everything and anything that they decide they don't like, and especially when they can say something effects public healthcare costs. This is a great satirical call for Bloomberg to go further, banning beer and more: http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/hey-mayor-mike-ban-beer-article-1.1107314
One commenter, though, gave a lengthy defense of the soda ban, including (the false) "Coca cola has the world's largest fleet of trucks...all shipping mass quantities of sugar to our doorsteps, to our children." A great reply to this banster was:
Don't like Coke? Don't drink it and mind your own damn business, retard.
Get a 2nd or third citizenship like my bud. The 3rd one is a 3rd world SE Asian country where their version of an FBI is a 1 story building with one dude typing on a pc, while his other table is stacked full of papers. If the IRS requests a n inquiry on him, he has a lot of aliases on his returns there, he makes obama’s aliases look amateurish.
I had a lefty daughter-in-law who once said to me completely out of the blue, “I hate America.” Luckily she is in the past tense for our family.
Bump for later
3 days in the hospital with some kind of surgery would be between $50 to $150K
This woman has apparently not acquired ANY employable skills during her life.
I know a guy who spent just two weeks in a hospital and the bill was 1 freaking million bucks....
No joke.
You'd think medical geniuses from other planets were being transported back to earth as doctors and surgeons.
The greedy insurance companies and those in the medical field brought all this on themselves.
Does she have car payments? Does she have credit card debt?
If so, perhaps she should consider changing her burn rate before harping on how selfish we are.
I make well into six figures, and I’ve never had a car payment. My *newer* vehicle is 15 years old. The other one is 25 years old. I have ZERO debt, credit card or otherwise. If I want to buy a house, putting 20% down is no problem whatsoever. I could put 50 or 60 percent down easily.
Unlike a lot of libs (especially the New York kind), I have no emotional need for a trendy, fully decked-out, “look at me” foreign car-du-jour, and I realize that no matter what I spend to keep my old vehicles not only running but nice and clean it will never approach the price of a new one, even accounting for gas mileage (Heck, last month I clocked 28.0 mpg on my “antique” T-Bird highway, which is WAY better than a 2012 Mustang—it’s even 1mpg better than its 1987 rating and 5mpg better than NHTSA’s “revised” rating—which tells me they’re full of horse excrement and are following a political agenda—but that’s a rant for another day).
Getting back on topic, a major problem with Americans today is that they want too much and expect everyone else to support their extravagant burn rate. And that doesn’t include the downright stupid choices in the name of being accepted by their now-grown-up-yet-still-sophomoric cliques. A trendy urbanite would never be caught dead in something as gauche as a (gasp) used Ford—the clique would never tolerate it. We rubes will just have to fork over more of our earnings for her health premiums and college debt so she can have that trendy Infiniti.
Meanwhile, I’ll be perfectly happy to take that used Ford with the expired lease off soneone’s hands, bank the savings, and laugh as I put it toward my retirement. I’m not embarassed to proudly say I bleed Ford blue, the many reasons for which some lefty birdbrains will never grasp.
$5 asprin also go to cover the UNPAID medical expenses of those who use the emergency room as an “express lane checkout” when they have a cold or a toothache.
The key to a better health system is LESS insurance and MORE paying out of pocket.
Combine that with loser pays tort reform and you have a much less expensive system.
The reason why a Hospital or doctor has to charge so much is because they can. Medicare and other third party insurance programs have distorted the market. Imagine how expensive your home owner policy would be if it paid for your window cleaning and house cleaning and general maintenance like paint and wallpaper.
In fact, if ya give up cable TV and that cell phone, you should easily be able to afford great medical insurance for the entire family...
Yuk yuk..
What a honking hoot!
I am stuck paying the tab for those who did not pay their tabs.
If you think that $5 asprin and $500 rooms are “normal” costs and not inflated you must like honking hoots.
Gee, I thought that was Obama talking.
Gee, I thought that was Obama talking.
LOL!
