And, unfortunately, it appears that you have.Part of the problem here is that you have lived a relatively sheltered, privileged life. Good for you. You have worked in a secure, quasi-government job, with full medical benefits, and a guaranteed pension, supplemented by your own savings and now you are set for your retirement. I wish you well. But it does mean that you are blinkered. Your appreciation for the rest of the US is less than desirable. And those you support are working hard to make the situation worse. Steve, you know a lot about trains and how to manage a repair workshop. Please, until you can learn something about basic economics, stick to what you know, and don’t parrot what the forces of American destruction would have you believe. |

Posted by Train Dude on Sat Apr 28 22:16:46 2012, in response to Re: Social Economics 101, posted by JohnL on Sat Apr 28 22:07:15 2012. John! You know very little about me - a lot less than you think. I've worked in private industry as well as in a family business. The fact that I've made some good choices in life does not preclude me from seeing what my 5 brothers have to endure in the private sector or my own daughter or what my grand children will face. The elitist liberal thinking that you display (and I don't consider every liberal here a thinker) is rooted in socialist ideological beliefs which I do not happen to share. The difference is that I'm willing to attack your beliefs. You begin by attacking me. So is the MO of the liberal and so goes the gulf between us. |

You know very little about me - a lot less than you think.Very likely so. But I’m getting closer to understanding your belief and value system, and I’m not liking it. And I’m not at all convinced that not liking it makes me in any way liberal and elite. I would choose a better adjective: caring. I believe that everyone should have appropriate medical care from cradle to grave. I also recognize that funds for anything are always limited and that they should not be squandered in useless procedures. I believe that no-one in the United States should starve or freeze to death because they are unable to find employment. Or because they are disabled and unable to work. I believe everyone has the right to live and love and have those rights recognized officially wherever necessary, regardless of whatever. From all evidence I also believe you’re the Grinch! |

We differ only in the notion that we have to turn over 1/6th of the nation's economy to an inefficient government to accomplish the first objective that you mentioned. I don't believe that obamacare was about better medical care for this country. I think it's about further eroding our core values and creating a government that is expanding exponentially. There are your socialist beliefs. I want my family to have health care too. I just don't want them to have to go to a Canadian style clinic where healthcare is rationed like cheese. As I said, you know little about me. But when it comes to growing government beyond reason, I hope I am the grinch. |

I glossed over this:"I also recognize that funds for anything are always limited and that they should not be squandered in useless procedures." Are we talking about "death Panels", now? Let me ask you this, If someone was dropping acid or taking other illegal drugs during his or her college years and screws up, lets say. their liver or kidneys, should they then be entitled to the same limited health care resources that law abiding citizens would be competing for? What if you were competing for those same precious resources. |

Right there. What if that person turned their life around and cured Alzheimers? These things should be determined on a basis of need and availability, not trial without jury or based on who profits the most. |

I support all medical care that is likely to achieve a positive result. But I don’t believe in significant resources being expended in a futile attempt to prolong a terminal patient’s life, especially when it results in said patient having a painful and miserable death.Which, unfortunately, given the current state of insurance incentives, and DEA disincentives is the prognosis for many patients. |

I just don't want them to have to go to a Canadian style clinic where healthcare is rationed like cheese.Oh dear. Rationing of health care is way more prevalent in the US. Such as my friend, who doesn’t have insurance, who might lose a portion of his leg after a spider bite. In a British/Canadian system he goes before the hip replacements in the queue. Otherwise he is consigned to the de facto death panels of the US lack-of-insurance system. Nobody in Britain has died from denial of care because of insurance. There have been mistakes but admission to a hospital is not predicated on insurance. I can speak from personal experience. Other than prejudice and hearsay, have you any facts to support your allegation? |

I assume that means that the ass hole can explain it to you. |

Medical insurance will remain private, besides Medicare and Medicaid which already exist. The only increase in government regulation is a number of new coverage mandates, but those already exist. |

Posted by Train Dude on Sun Apr 29 18:13:07 2012, in response to Re: Social Economics 101, posted by JohnL on Sun Apr 29 01:30:47 2012. I'll make it as plain as I can. Your response is dishonest if you say that no one has died because of the Canadian/British system. The failure of the system is that people have had to wait for weeks or more to get diagnostic tests that are available in this country the next day or same day. By the time they are treated, their condition has deteriorated further. When faced with that choice in Toronto,my aunt came to this country. Just like certain Canadian Gov't. officials do when they can't get certain procedures in Canada. Now, if you think rationing healthcare under government control is a good thing, then you are setting up a system where some bureaucrat will be making value judgements on yours or one of your loved ones lives (assuming that you have any) with no recourse if they get a big "thumbs down". Personally, I like the fact that if the insurance companies do not honor a claim, you have government via courts as a last resort. |

You either are so stupid that you can't see the difference or so ignorant that you don't care. What Romney did was legal under Massachusetts law. What obama did, most likely is not constitutional. Get it now? |
