Ugh. Come on man, are you even trying to understand this? It isn't like this is my pet idea that I am stubbornly holding on to. At least tell me that you understand, now, why certain aspects of healthcare are by definition uninsurable? And that the ONLY way to make sure that everyone can afford these is for some to be subsidized by others?

And jogsxyz, in regards to checkups and immunizations, it is NOT the healthy that are subsidizing the sick. EVERYONE needs them. So it is the rich that are subsidizing the poor. No insurance is possible.

I understand what you're saying about insurance. My point is that insurance is a scam anyway, so why do I care about the things that are "uninsurable"? If ANYBODY could keep the COSTS DOWN, then I'm for that. NOBODY IS DOING THIS. There's no reason that costs should go up almost 10% every year.

Yes, there is. It's called "government." Did you skip my post? Twice?

I don't agree with it, but I didn't skip it.

What, exactly, was wrong with it? It was filled with actual arguments that you should be able to show are incorrect if you disagree with them.
