welcome Larry. Republic vs democracy. just so

Daniel Boone would have got lost in here!

Thanks for sending up the flare, Rozar!

I think it got lost in the BoboRob shuffle of things. Thanks for pointing it out. :)

That was perfect Larry. I'm surprised no one else has given this a point or at least commented on it.

You're trying to argue from a moral point most people here disagree with. It isn't morally right to force a human to pay for someone else's sustainability. It doesn't matter how well it works or how many people it saves or how much money it saves. It isn't right. If your system is so good why don't people volunteer to be a part of it? Why do you have to force them?

It doesn't be have to be regulated. You have the ability to form a contract with your health provider to retain your privacy. If they don't sign than you don't have to do business with them.

I thought that was being civil for me. ;-)

A point for "don't be a jerk". It was futile, but funny.

The Court ruled that the Affordable Care Act was actually a new national tax, and on that spurious basis, it was constitutional.

Never mind that the WH lawyers actually based their argument on it not being a tax, and that Obama publicly swore that there wasn't any new taxes in the Bill, that was the go-around that the Court had to conjure up.

Hardly a red letter day for the SCOTUS....

Don't be a jerk.

Your article did NOT address a single of my points.

Post an article that refutes my points, and we can go from there.

The ball is in your court.

yes, the Supreme Court has been ignoring the Constitution lately. what's your point? There is no rule of law abut we're pretending there is when it sides with us?

Okay good... Bye then.

Thank you kh.

oh. you can't. the govt will take away 1500 points

has our voice raised?
the company offers a service that you contract with. I guess, just say no

Good article, but it didn't address any of what I said.

AARP was Obama's biggest backer for his plan, and participated in the writing of the Bill. AARP stands to make a great deal of money when the insurance market collapses.

If you use them for any truth about ObamaCare, than you might as well just 'tweet' Obama for your answers.

How about you come back and talk about bocare after it's fully implemented. Maybe THEN your kool aid colored glasses will have lost their utopian filters.

Rand is the US Constitution - in less detail. the most important rights are property and contract. WE want the equality of opportunity, not the equality of results. The latter would be socialism, and not good for anyone, morally, intellectually, philosophically, or economically. If you want to join a union, fine, but Right to Work Laws make sense. Let everyone bargain. Unfortunately, with the rest of the World 'catching up" economically, this does mean you had better have super skills or your wages do fall. There is no solution except get the skills or come up with a new idea for a business, or, leave with lower wages. For many of us, money does not mean everything. For others, striving for wealth is important. Both are just fine. Read the Constitution. Read Barnett's "Restoring the Lost Constitution...". Best, LarryT

Ayn Rand is the US Constitution - and that's just fine. She and the Constitution make it simple: the most important rights are property and contract, and we want equality of opportunity, but could never, ever get equality of results - nor would we want to: where would the incentive be to be entrepreneurial? To be anything? To be everything we can be? Right to Work Laws make sense, because everyone should have the right to join or not join an organization - or take a position. Yes, the 14th Amendment was necessary, but, we have it already. Another great Book: Barnett's 'Restoring the Lost Constitution...". I actually read Rand first, but she talks the basics of the Constitution. Also, get Cato's copy of the Constitution and study the Preface. Ten "reads" and you'll be an expert. Also, know the meaning of a republic versus a democracy. This is very important, also. Best, Larry.
