Not Only Want Control Over Healthcare...

Well, that's me convinced!


(Lets Lanz be confused as hell)

Of course, I mean those criminal cockroach illegal aliens.

I just wanted to be sure since you were using some of the mundane, inaccurate politically correct terminology that amnesty loving politicians like McCain enjoy using.

Not at all. Albert can read my answer as well as you can, and it was actually aimed at him, altho since it was your question, you wound up in the quote.

Clear?

I still don't know what the fuck you're talking about if you're asking something I haven't already answered. Try explaining it like you would to an idiot child.

I've never been a fan of being forced to buy ANY kind of insurance. Car insurance, health insurance, homeowner's insurance. It should all be the decision of the owner. I mean, really, what's next? Will our possessions be garnished when we pass away if we don't buy life insurance?

They are already, whether or not you have life insurance.

I hate-HATE-the captive customer base engineered by mandatory auto insurance, but I cannot seem to come up with a viable solution for the problem of financial responsibility. You're out there in a massive death machine with the potential to cause tens of thousands of dollars in property damage and/or medical bills, and I require some assurance that you're not going to cripple me and destroy my vehicle with some kind of negligent driving behavior, then leave me hanging high and dry with the bills.

I dunno...I was in a really strange mood yesterday, and was searching for something, dunno what....

Take a really long boring ramble to explain the whole thing in detail...

I more or less concluded what Lanzman laid out...

....but in a sort of duct tape, spit, and bailing wire clumsily practical way, and not in a hand on my heart, "I really really believe it on my soul", kind of way.

And the way I have it conglomerated together, I kind of have to totally tune out Wall Street, taxes, and the immigration issue, and focus on daily existence.

And wealth above a certain level is a literal crime unless it's filtered through a brutally rigid set of Robocop rules.
But, I ain't gotta worry about that, so I'm all set.

Why not hold that person liable in a court of law? All potential financial responsibilities would be held to the person at fault for the accident. Your medical costs and property costs would be HIS medical and property costs, and if HE has no insurance and can't pay, HE has to declare bankruptcy and whatnot.

Him declaring bankruptcy does nothing to help you with the damages he's caused in your life.

I'm not what you would call a "true believer" in much of anything, and I offer very little in the way of unconditional values. I have my personal code, and tend view the world in terms of what adheres to that code and what does not.

1. If someone can't pay, they can't pay. Period.
2. Court cases can take months or years to sort themselves out. If I get in a car accident and my car is totaled, I want a new car NOW, not whenever a judge decides I can have one.

Gotta agree with busboymike.

I think I'll go shower now.

1) Well, what happens when someone can't pay normally?

2) Agree here. It's probably the best reason for mandatory insurance. I should emphasize, I would always HAVE insurance, i just don't like the government telling me I HAVE to have insurance.
