I didn't blame an individual, I blame whole classes of individuals who are waddling around scarfing down soda and McD's but blaming their genetics. Or smokers, or any other class of people made unwell by their own choices that you mean to subsidize the care of in this post-monetary hippy commune model of medicine proposed.

And I'm speaking of math that's not going to change because of your being upset about it.

You've been all over the post making absurd statements of them being CEOs, writing someones's policy, or that these two specifically where blamed for the US healthcare.

If you have a larger proportion of unhealthy people in a population, particularly with preventable conditions simply by making better choices to live healthier lives, then you inevitably will have more costs to bear as a society, weather that's in the current fractured insurance world or a single payer system which amounts to one universal insurance pool paid by the public taxes.

To claim otherwise is just as impossible as to say we should make no efforts at preventing and discouraging smoking. Cancer costs money and if someone costs the entity footing the bill $$$ it's going to come from somewhere.

So that's either all of us and we all pay for the other's bad choices, or we collectively look to minimize the pursuit of bad choices, or when selectively burden those making bad choices with the bill for them.

Bad troll, be less obvious

Start practicing your line, it's gonna be a bumpy road...

"Welcome to Costco, I love you .."

Insurance works as a risk pool. If you have an increased number of high cost members in the pool, such as those prone to all the conditions long known to be associated with morbid obesity, it raises the cost outlays for the pool, and thus by association the premiums demanded to cover said costs.

Money in must equal money out plus administrative costs, spend more out, need more in, from everyone, or should we selectively charge the hight cost members more?

Like that it is largely offline other than to search the food DB sources, no account to have to sign into and feed your data to someone.

Dislikes, some graphical glitches on my phone like buttons going off the edge and unable to scroll down. Also, no murica measurements for those of us accustomed to measuring against arbitrary, non-scientific standards.

How is it that we have a president who's administration manages to create so many major controversies that a 24/7 news cycle can't manage to keep more than one in front of people?

I thought we where still on alligator auschwitz a few days ago, with Iran not quite forgotten before that, and his mega money grab bill was in there for a minute too...

Standard IANAL but...

Rights not given to the federal government are reserved to the states.

There is no federal abortion regulation at this time.

If laws conflict then there would typically be a ruling based on supremacy IE: Federal > State > County(?) > City

State vs state, each upholds their own.

Fuck off TX

When the dispute arbitrator is appointed by one of the people arguing against their release it hardly counts as an impartial party.

The fact that a single judge in one of the most heavily democratic states telling him to stop is notable news says a lot about how timidly and slow the courts work. This would seem like a no brainer to me.

You'll never guess who they are!
