    It allows people that have pre-existing conditions to get health insurance.

    And you are basing your assumption on the fact that I don't support a massive federal program. Again, it's a straw man argument.

    You think poor people are made of straw?

    If I refuse to buy a cruise missile, my assets will be seized, and I can even go to jail. Seems a bit more draconian than a fine.

    I bring that up because early states had to play around with whether they could fine people for not owning weapons.

    If you do buy a cruise missile, they'll send you to jail, too! You're screwed both ways.

    You can own a cruise missile because it has an air-breathing engine. Legally it's just a drone. If it was rocket powered you couldn't own it because horizontal rockets are classified as weapons, even though a rocket really doesn't give a shit which way it's pointing.

    The point is that just because I don't believe the government should be involved in health care doesn't mean I don't think people should have health care.

    How do they get it, then? And don't answer with something that can only help healthy people.

    See? You did it again. You flit from one "argument" to another as each gets demolished. Your OP died right out of the gate and you've been bouncing around from one "point" to another ever since.

    ah, so you have already changed your position from "people should have health care," to only worthy people should have health care.

    Just because I think people should have health care doesn't mean the government should provideit, nor does it mean that it should be handed to them, nor does it mean that tax payers should subsidize other people's health insurance.

    I don't think the government should provide everyone's food, therefore I'm against people eating. :brood:

    I mean, if the government didn't provide food, how could people possible get it on their own?

    That's the thing, though, government does provide food for people who can't afford it. Do you support eliminating SNAP?

    I can't seem to find my federal food warehouse on Google maps.

    Do you know who else can't find government food? Venezuelans. Unfortunately they can't find private food, either, because their socialist government decided to be in charge of food.

    Ah, the tried and failed gturner tactic of changing the subject when the facts work against him. No wonder you have to lie so often.

    What do unhealthy people do about getting a job?

    Before you say "disability" wouldn't it just be better to heal them and get them into the workforce?

    So where are these federal food warehouses? Do they bus poor people to them?

    No, they don't give poor people food because the government can barely deliver a letter, much less a fresh vegetable. So they give poor people money instead. And nobody has given poor people more food money than Obama, not because he cares, but because he's an economic disaster that has destroyed black family wealth.

    But unfortunately they weren't giving enough money to rich Democrats in the insurance industry, so he got together with other corrupt politicians to pass a law whereby poor people are forced to give their money to Obama's friends whether they want to or not.

    You are such a fucking idiot. It depresses me that such ignorance exists. I already gave the name of the program up thread. But SNAP is more commonly known as food stamps. Get the picture?

    So you take the food stamps and go down to the government food warehouse where the government feeds you, or do they have to go to the Senate cafeteria?

    So how do people eat without government mandated food allotments? Isn't eating just as important as health insurance?

    If the chicken survives do you make it breakfast or do you sneak out before it realizes what you've done?

    This is important. It's tangentially related to the line of questions you've take up. You have to acknowledge its relevance.
