He is just angry because the minion Obamabots are supposed to go over the cliff, not turn around and run the other way.
Am I mistaken that this UnitedHealthCare is closely associated with AARP, which lobbied with the halfrican FOR nobamacare?
3 S’s, problem solved.
for later
Pay out just 13 cents of each dollar!
The only way to make money is to cut back healthcare.
The British and Canadians and other socialist countries do so with thousand dying that could have lived if given immediate healthcare. People who could get their knees or hips replaced are forced into a wheelchair while waiting and waiting for a doctors appointment.
The Daily Mail in the UK has had many stories on the horrendous conditions in the hospitals there and the death lists that have killed over 130,000 people per year.
YOU will be killed by the democrats to A) save “gov’t” money and B) because you are a conservative.
Top doctor’s chilling claim: The NHS kills off 130,000 elderly patients every year

Not for a minute!!!
The questions they asked expressed surprise, skepticism and outright alarm at his attitude and words. They asked the same question three times, as he complained, because they could not believe what they were hearing.
They had the proverbial moment of clarity, however temporary.
As I recall the idiot insurance companies for the most part supported nobamacare. Lots of laughs now, no?
I have already stated it in so many words. It is incumbent upon you to resist your profession’s own death by a thousand cuts.
What is merely voluntary or ‘best practice’ now will become compulsory with draconian punishments for the slightest infraction lest the political types have their statistics skewed by reality. You will become IRS agents in scrubs and stethoscopes, more concerned with patient compliance with tax law than with healing. This is why I included the Trotsky pseudoquote. Passivity and the Hippocratic Oath will do nothing to prevent your conscription into the People’s Army Of Socialized Medicine.
You say you can’t or won’t go on strike yet that very thing is occurring in the United Kingdom, home of the NHS, as I write this. Doctors (junior doctors, to be precise) are striking. I fully understand your stance but the strike, beyond hindering patient care, is another example of what will happen under government control. Medicine will become another public sector union, relying on militancy and threats.
Politicians rely on incrementalism to sap resolve. It’s easy to armchair quarterback, I admit, but resistance to the bureaucratic beast must be subtle but firm, widespread but quiet, polite but unyielding. Placards, signs, and marches for the benefit of the media and to impress the simple-minded are the tools of the left; they are propaganda, nothing more. If the truck’s gearbox is hindered or missing altogether then it cannot move. Question, challenge, and refuse when necessary. To paraphrase Caprain Kirk, find a reason and make it stick.

Exactly as planned. Single-payer is next.

I don’t care what they’re doing in Europe if they’re going on strike they shouldn’t be Dr’s or nurses. You cannot leave pts high and dry. Sorry but there are just some professions where you can’t do that, Firemen would be another example.
Now off shift, of course do what you can do, and I have. Quoting a tv character isn’t helping your rant sound any more intelligent.
Thanks for the links!
My rant? I thought it was a reasoned, thoughtful opinion delivered in the FR spirit of awareness of and resistance to government overreach. No profanity, no exclamation points, no shouting.
The reason I mentioned the NHS doctors was to address YOUR point that striking was impossible. This real-life, real-time example proves that it clearly is not. Your other example is also null and void, since there have been firemen’s strikes. ‘You can’t’ is a very different thing to ‘it has never happened and never will.’
Now what is more ‘intelligent’ - an acknowledgement of current events, their causes and their implications or a reliance on categoricals that have already been contradicted by history?
This contravention of your rhetoric seems to have angered you. I’m not sure why.
The Kirk quote was to provide a mutual pop culture touchstone a touch of levity to an otherwise depressing, serious topic in the spirit of FRiendship as we so often do here. You, apparently, aren’t having any of it and, like so many online, are irrationally directing anger and spite at a person you’ve never met rather than the issues and circumstances.
