Pay for my health care so I can afford vacations!
September 11, 2009On a different blog, this was posted…
And, in a side note to all those people who actually, in the face of all evidence, still believe that “The public option is just a socialist plot to destroy private health care” and “Obama wants to kill my grandmother,” I’d just like to say,
FUCK YOU, SHITHEELS. FUCK EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU.
I HOPE YOUR FUCKING LUNGS ROT WITH CANCER AND YOUR FACE FALLS OFF AND YOUR BALLS SWELL UP BIGGER THAN YOUR POINTY HEADS AND YOUR OVARIES EXPLODE LIKE HAND GRENADES AFTER BLUE CROSS CANCELS YOUR INSURANCE, YOU HOPELESS SACK-OF-SHIT BRAIN-DAMAGED ASS-MONKEYS.
There. I feel better.
The public option, in point of fact, exists for people like me. I cannot get private insurance coverage at any price. Believe me: I’ve tried. My state does have a “high-risk pool,” to which I can apply at roughly double the normal private rate, once my already-overpriced COBRA coverage expires.
The author’s blog also talks about the wonderful trips he takes around the world to exotic locations. A basic understanding of the word “fungible” tells us that what the author above wants is for his fellow citizens to subsidize his life as an international traveling science fiction writer. Being required to pay for his state’s high-risk pool health insurance makes it difficult for him to continue to live a life of travel and writing. The rest of us with real jobs, he believes, should be paying for his exotic, free-wheeling lifestyle. He believes, “in point of fact,” the government option exists for people like him and the rest of us, by God, can pay for it.
This is really quite common. A huge number of those without health insurance still have money to purchase all manner of things located much higher on any reasonable hierarchy of needs. That’s fine, it is a semi-free country. It is only when they demand that others pay for their health care while they use their available funds to purchase nice-to-have and luxury products, does it become profoundly immoral.

This post made me have a huge epiphany: The left wants socialized medicine in much higher numbers because much higher numbers of lefties are unemployed. Why didn’t it dawn on me before? Who knows. But this is also the reason we need to open up the healthcare market so it is not so tied to employment (and eventually, insurance should not be paying for basic services anyway… just for catastrophic).

Agreed, look at my post below.

There is no way healthcare can get cheaper and maintain quality if we include more non-payers.
Besides, do any of us even like these people we would be subsidizing?

This kind of shit really pisses me off. Entitlement Gone Wild — should be a new (and only true) “Reality” program on TV.
Said differently:
“Insure me against my own stupid decisions”
“Afford me the rights of being an adult, but spare me the responsibilities.”
“Reward my igorance, for ignorance is bliss.”
Unfortunately, Personal Accountability has become an oxymoron in the United States.

When I worked at a very big insurance company (SF) before coming to The American Legion, some of us that worked in the field auto claims departments liked to coin the phrase
“Stupidity IS a covered peril”. Because it always was! It used to make me so mad. I was always getting in trouble for voicing my dissent about that and the fact that alot of people don’t have auto insurance. And that’s a whole different animal.
