I wouldn't want you as president either.
So, can anyone here actually explain to me what's so bad about dodging the draft for a horrible war we shouldn't have been in? Trump always gets shit dodging the draft, but the Vietnam War is pretty much universally seen as a mistake. And somehow it's bad for him to have not participated in it?

You people don't have an answer. It's Trump, so everything he does is by definition bad. You don't realize that not everything a bad person does is bad.

Overlooking that I do that all the time, it's literally the same objection I raised to Obama doing it. (Because, unlike others on this board, my criticisms tend to be very consistent regardless of who's doing it.)

Except it really isn't, since ANY kind of insurance would have the same problem if people tried to fundamentally break the insurance model to fit people who didn't bother buying insurance. Therefore it's not specific to health insurance, but literally true of ALL insurance.

And, on a fundamental level, all of the major insurances are necessary unless the government is just providing you with everything.

Again: Overlooking that I do that all the time, it's literally the same objection I raised to Obama doing it. (Because, unlike others on this board, my criticisms tend to be very consistent regardless of who's doing it.)

Which comes with being a centrist as opposed to a partisan hack or extremist.

Except it doesn't, since the individual mandate neither goes to the insurers themselves or is enough to actually defray the costs. You can directly compare that to mandatory liability insurance on cars, where car ownership requires buying a plan in almost every state (and some states require more than just liability)... although even then you have people driving around without liability insurance, which is illegal.

Which underscores how fucking horrible you are. And when I haven't had employer-backed healthcare, I've bought healthcare elsewhere. My solution has never been, "Gee, think how much money I could save by not buying insurance!" It's like any other kind of insurance, while you can technically get by without it if nothing happens, you're absolutely fucking screwed if something does (possibly excluding renters insurance, although renters insurance is so fucking cheap that it's stupid not to buy it... and I'm sure that you'd defend everybody who chooses not to buy it and feel that they're entitled to have it anyway).

Is this an absurd hypothetical where a children somehow wouldn't be covered by their parents' insurance plan? Or just their parents not having insurance then waiting to buy it until their kid has a problem?

You do realize people age, right? Obamacare lets people stay on their parents health insurance until 26. Under your ideal world, they would be fucking dead once they reach 26. Fuck you and everyone who is against universal healthcare

Oo

Overlooking the new healthcare plan for a second, the problem with measures designed to "protect" people with pre-existing conditions is that it fundamentally undermines the entire insurance industry because it allows people to only get insurance after they have a problem. Can you imagine buying insurance *after* you wreck your car and expecting that car crash to be covered? It goes against the whole notion of insurance. There are very practical reasons behind these policies. Which isn't to say that people shouldn't be able to get policies, just that they logically would need to cost more (at least at the start) as an offset.

BeerOnTap posted...
hey my house is on fire, I need to buy homeowners insurance!

That's how little human life is worth to you? It's worth as much as a car or a house, both things that can be replaced?

If protection for people with pre-existing conditions gets removed, I hope both of you lose your insurance because you lose your job or some shit and then get horribly sick. Then you'll be begging for protection for pre-existing conditions and see why it's so important for millions of people.

And what about people who were born with medical problems? Do they deserve to die or live in agony just because an astronomically wealthy corporation can't profit off their medical care?

I might have liked KH or Vice the most, though.

Vice was cooler than SA, though.
