I lost mine in July of '11 when I got laid off. In looking for new employment, companies offering insurance are increasingly rare. And no, I am not better off than I was 5 years ago.

Thank goodness we don't have government-paid, privately-managed insurance along the lines of the German model. I know how much you'd hate not having to worry about health insurance benefits at your new job.

I'm in Salt Lake but travel all over the western US doing contract work right now. Since it's contract work I essentially work for myself and don't have the usual benefits.

Nice try. Government-paid, privately-managed insurance is still a horrid idea and I don't want it regardless of my current situation. Let the US govt start buying F35's thereby creating more jobs at companies that provide insurance for their employees. Govt does it's job in providing for the common defense and as a side benefit promotes the general welfare of it's citizens... just like it should be doing.

She ain't a thing but American Fortians love our dancing Whitney.

I do have something to say about Proxy servers. If Jazzfanz want privacy they should get themselves one because those in charge have no qualms about groping you on your way through security so to speak. I'm guessing most of you pervs would enjoy that though.

I wasn't expecting you to actually support the notion of government insurance.

However, surely you recognize how it would relieve many of our businesses of expense? That it woulod free up would-be entrepreneurs whose desire to innovate is being stifled by the need to keep the medical care their child has? Do you really think paying for planes the military says are in excess of need is an efficient way to spend government money?

It's pretty hard not to recognize that. Thus, the naysayers retreat to scare tactics (death squads, etc.).

"We need a more flexible economy, with a flexible and well-trained workforce! But we're going to continue to encourage you to get stuck in huge mortgages and make things harder on companies than we need to! But, we'll just blame that last part on the Dems (who secretly agree with us anyway)! Oh, and we're gonna slash education, too."

I think what I'm getting at (and I alluded to it in another thread)... using principles of supply and demand, one would think with trillions of dollars of currency introduced into the market, you would see a larger bump in inflation.

Not if the reason for the printing in the first place is to avoid expected deflation.
 
Like liberals care about the expense to evil for-profit business. They just want someone else to pay for their abortions.

It ain't the government's role to provide health care, and their involvement ain't going to make it cheaper or increase the quality.

At least the Canuckians will no longer have to go bankrupt in order to receive life saving care if America copies their system. They will just die in their igloos smoking pot.

Dingell: It takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken to put the legislation together to control the people.

It actually didn't take all that long.

and screw the 99% of the population that does not build F35s, eh?
why should the F35 builders get health insurance when others don't?

Every other country lowers its costs by going through the government. Is this what you mean by American Exceptionalism?

Never said I was normal. I'm a creative extremist.
