Nice series, but I think comparing health insurance to grocery insurance is a bit unfair. Is it really a problem that people have health insurance?
Btw, how come this libertarian guy is an anchor for ABC if the media is controlled by the nwo?
Libertarianism is not synonymous with conspiracy theory.
Why?
What people in the US now have, are pre-payment plans and government subsidized care for the elderly, the needy and illegals (Medicare). Insurance is a scheme where risk is pooled. In the US, people don’t pay based on risk, they pre-pay for care they know they will use. There is no element of uncertainty in such a scheme. You wouldn’t insure your car against running out of gas, or needing new tires. Those are expected and predictable costs. Same thing with checkups, or pregnancy. Immunization and blood tests.
Notice how there is no prescription insurance? They are called prescription PLANS. It is understood that the plan gets you to pre-pay for medicine, within limits of use you are expected to meet over time. Likewise, except for accidents, and what is called major medical, that is sudden unpredictable onset of diabetes, or cancer, strokes and such, most medical care is expected and predictable.
Maybe not, but my impression is that most of you believe the world is run by bankers, that Obama is a puppet, that the Bilderberger Group are setting the agenda for the world, that mainstream media is a government propaganda machine, that 911 was an inside job etc.
I don’t see anything conspiracious about the idea that the world is run by bankers and that Obama is a puppet for certain interest groups. Anyway, we don’t believe that in a conspiracy way.
And how did you come to that conclusion?
alimentary my dear watson!
Unfair in what way?
Or perhaps we don’t.
Did anyone say here that he has? I think some may have a problem with mandatory insurance.
The “you-are-a-conspiracy-theorist” tag line is quite a joker argument. Hence it is completely useless. Why not deal with what the guy was actually saying ?!
I can haz evidence?
Is mainstream media closer to a government propaganda machine or a libertarian propaganda machine?
From what I have seen on this forum, people who believe such things are shot down quickly and decisively, and/or ridiculed until they give up and leave.
In fact, the first time I ever encountered the word ‘conspiritard’, it was in a chat session with one of the moderators of this forum.
This thread is a good example of what I am talking about.
