The Terrifying Stakes Of Repealing Obamacare Without A Clear Replacement

I don't agree with the liberal solution offered in the article, but, apparently it's pretty bad... According to Canadian liberals.

How was it sad? I'm still reaping the rewards!

And clearly I'm a climate denier despite believing in climate change. Good catch, bro! d

I'm not a liberal, thank you.

Our healthcare system HAS its issues. I'm not making the outlandish claim that it's the best. In fact I haven't made a claim remotely close to this.

But it is better than the US system. I'd rather wait three months for a specialized medical intervention than wait two weeks and lose my house, my car, my job and declare bankruptcy.

And emergencies are treated very well and fast over the regular schedule. People in Canada don't die on their waiting bed. The only downside is, again, the wait time for less pressing intervention, which is proof that the money barrier prevent people from seeking vital help.

Scientists have for years said that 2015 would be the point of no return, so I take their word for it. Climate activists can be scientists, sure. There is more than one view on the severity of climate change and how plausible it is to stop it. See, this is what happens when you decide to take a political hardline on science. It leads to useless activism on both sides.

The consensus is that it's bad, but not beyond the point of no return. That's not useless activism, that's accepting the scientific consensus.

I'm not seeking to be elected to represent 300+ million people, so if I say something stupid, I'm the only person affected.

And no, I don't mock disabled people to get laughs out of my friends.

Ok, so you support people that are going to tell you exactly what you want to hear. Do exactly what you expect them to do. And in general tell you what they are not? As far as mocking disabled people I seriously doubt it but I have no proof.

Trump and Congress are being led around on a leash by the same people. It's hilarious to me that people think Trump is some sort of Washington outsider and doesn't have all the same wealthy friends as all the other wealthy people in the US.

Trump is a billionaire's billionaire, he doesn't give a shit about poor people or Joe Mainstreet, and he's going to pave the way for corporate America to reap even more rewards while middle class Americans wither away.

"I'm not a liberal!" Then you bring about this whole bullshit apocalyptic scenario where corporations are all evil and trying to destroy from the inside out. It's ridiculous. Our economy, infact the world's economy, is based on corporations being successful. The more successful corporations are, the richer the country is. That's a fact. Most countries with good economies do not have high corporate taxes.

Scientists say I'm right, bro. The only thing you can do now is prevent it from getting "too" bad.

There is video proof of him mocking the individual. His disability is with his arms

When did I say this? Stop using painting me with your "Liberal!!!!" brush so you can more easily cope with someone complaining about Trump.

This is click bait news.

"That all but ensures that 2016 will be the year that carbon dioxide officially passed the symbolic 400 ppm mark, never to return below it in our lifetimes, according to scientists."

Not in our lifetimes doesn't mean "permanently."

This isn't a climate change thread, if you want to discuss that further, open one.

I know he did, just does not bother me. You may not like that answer, sorry.

It doesn't matter if it bothers you. But it does reinforce what was said about what it says about you.

This proves the point that was being made.

Why because I am tired of this PC culture where I have to worry about what offends people. Get over yourself. No its gone to far. So like I said call me what you will. You just prove what you are. Your next statement will probably be to claim UNFAIR UNFAIR, he hurt my feelings, he bad. Go whine elsewhere. I mean seriously you get mad about this then probably go watch porn or some other form of inappropriate behavior. Then come here and say I am better than you are.

Well explain exactly why it should? I mean since you obviously have a morally superior mind.

You should probably stop trying to predict the future and people's reactions to your inane statements. The person who whines about how unfair everything is, is Trump. But, this is coming from you, who doesn't know what living in a vacuum means, and who thinks 66 million people on welfare do nothing. It's not like reality has a big role in your life, apparently.

Does watching porn offend you? If so why should i worry about that?

Why does making fun of a reporter bother you? Because I live in vacuum were your morally superior viewpoint Trumps alll.......

You don't see a problem with a potential President mocking a disabled person.

That says a lot about you, mainly that you're a horrible person.

[NYC17]

Because I expect adults to behave like adults. I expect elected leaders to behave significantly better than an anonymous forum warrior who is just soooo tired of "PC" stuff, yet is apparently somehow offended at the mere thought of porn.

Why does making fun of a reporter bother me? Because at some point in my life I turned in to a functional adult. Because mocking people who suffer from disabilities stopped being cool right around the time I started to understand the implications of it. Because my moral superiority trumps your inferiority.

[Fenius]

And there it is. I bet you support whole slaughter of unborn children. Then have the audacity to complain about me. Yet another morally superior individual. Getting off topic here.

I don't support the killing of children. I don't support killing anyone.

I don't like abortion. I'll bet most, if not all people, don't like abortion. It's not something people do and say "Yay! We get to have an abortion!" It's a horrible experience, and while I don't like it, I understand that people's rights don't end where my feelings begin.

And yes, I'm going to call someone who supports mocking disabled people on national TV a horrible person.

As did I, yet when I bring the wholesale slaughter of children you will probably just argue it is choice. So again regale me with your morally superiority.

No not, really. Socialized medicine would be completely paid for by the Government through taxes. Medicare has premiums, and costs fall onto senior citizens before the Government. It's okay to not understand the nuisances of what you're talking about though, bro.

Lol more then 90% Of Medicare is paid for by taxes on your pay and taxes on corporations.

Premiums only come after you retire.

Its as close to socialized medicine/insurance as they come.

Oh really what is abortion then?

[NYC17]

As did I,

Recent evidence suggests otherwise.
