So say you successfully blow up the health insurance industry.
   
Edited on Tue Mar-09-10 07:13 AM by Skidmore
What the hell do you plan to do with millions more unemployed people? I want to know. How do you absorb all of these insurance people into an already bad job market? Has anyone thought of this side of the equation?

5. sure
 invade Iran (soldiers), end the drug war (new business), and enforce the laws (violent offenders away). With socialized medicine we could have a new entrepreneur economy.

Again, if these people are making a living by denying people required medical treatment, they should get another job. We should not allow them to continue earning money by destroying our collective health, just to "keep them employed".

Let them become medical treatment providers and support staff instead of being an obstacle for medical care.
 The first paragraph was batshit crazy and went downhill from there.

7. 20 hour work week, I just found all those jobs for you.
 Of coarse comparable wages would have to go up so people are not working as much as 3 jobs
  :mental:  Of coarse!

12. Do you think the insurance industry shows such deep concerns for workers when they raise rates 60%?
 Do you think those workers gave a shit when MILLIONS were losing their jobs, in many instances *because* of the burgeoning costs of health insurance?

Let them re-train. And let them stand in line with all the people who are already suffering because of their GREED.
 
 Those filthy rich, greedy accounting clerks, admin assistants, and IT people!!!!  Screw 'em!!!  

There is a lot of stupidity and nastiness on that thread over there.

It's an excellent illustration of just why the Law of Unintended Consequences can be such a mofo.

Because we all know that socialism begets entrepreneurship.  You can't fix that kind of stupid.

Again, DUchebags, the insurance industry pays out $103 for every $100 it collects as premiums, works with 2-3% profit margins, and has 85% of Americans overall quite satisfied.  Socialist solution, breka it, have the government payout $82 per $100 premium, work with a 10-15 loss, and have 90% of Americans hate the new system.

The healthcare provider with the largest percentage of denial of claims is........ (wait for it)..... Medicare.

Now that is a strech - you cannot do surgery on something that does not exist.

I'd still hack my way in there anyway just to verify that it's empty.

I think most DUmmies possess the basic reptilian brain stem.

Is that all that's needed to support respiratory function, a desire for same-sex buggery, and an overwhelming craving for weed and Cheetos? Might as well hack that part out too.

Umm . . . Knocking them out is anesthetizing them!

Gotta go "trepanning" (I think it's called that).

Deal!  Matter of fact, you can sell the tickets and collect 100% of the profit!  

(The satisfaction of "performing" the "exploratory surgery"--priceless!)

Club?

How about a 3 iron?

Takes more "strokes" to sedate them with an iron than with a club....

Why, they're practically "little Eichmanns."

They should be rounded up and shipped off to Siberia as enemies of the state.

Notice there's no mention of Tort Reform, or that they only have a 3% profit margin!
