Then he proceeds to tell me that health insurance costs are out of control and the government is the only thing big enough regulate it and get insurance companies to lower their premiums, etc. I then pointed out that he was driving a street rod, that is worth at most $40k, and that he probably invested $100k to get it that way. $100k will buy a lot of health insurance....an item that could potentially save your life, not eternally cost you money and possibly your life like a Harley or street rod. Then I asked "So, it's OK for gov't to regulate everything else, but you business?"....then walked away. Liberals are just f'ing stupid. |
You made a good point with that guy!.. If he represented every single liberal for the bill you'd be on to something w/ saying they're stupid. If that guy wants coverage he could simply cut back on his toy spending! Understood! Now think about the guy who makes 30k a year, has no toys, a wife, and a kid and can't afford coverage because pricing is out of control. That's who this bill is for.
Health Insurance use to be affordable, what happen? Greed, and abuse.. This bill is built to put that to an end.. It's not perfect and can easily be read wrong but absolutely no one else was doing anything to fix the system.
Insurance Companies had plenty of time to fix themselves.. Now all's there doing is looking for more way to increase cost and find loop holes in the bill.
