And I note you aren't using mass transit.
Whoopde ingdo.
European countries are democracies, they've repeatedly re-elected Big Brothers of left and right for decades, while leaving the gas taxes high.
Your "freedom" is fool's gold, fool. And I note that you aren't fighting in Iraq for your oil addiction.
And I note you aren't using mass transit.
Whoopde ingdo.
You dirty filthy Repug/darth cheney/oilco/dubya/chickenhawk lover...blah blah blah...blah blah....blah

C'mon 'Pugs! Gas actually went down this past couple weeks.BushHaliburonKatrinaChimpNazi
Lets get that teabag on and Praise Exxon!
Bring back the glory days with our beloved Bush!
Okay Repugs it's been well over a year now.
We are not losing jobs at 750,000 per month!
Gas is no where near $5 a gallon.
Get off your asses and channel our beloved leader of 2000-2008.
C'mon you board Pugs, get your scheme on.
That gas price isn't going to raise itself.
I love when attention s bump their own ancient threads.
What's your point, assuming you have one? Your OP is so ing flawed it defies rational debate. So, what is your point?![]()
So what is a reasonable profit for a health insurance company? 10%? Give me a number.
Turn it around on yourself, johnny one note. Posting multiple threads on the same topic on the first page is even worse.
You don't expect liberals to actually think about something they have passion about, do you?
Conservative... vote by thinking.
Liberal... vote by feeling.
Health insurers should be relegated to topping-up/complementary policies to cover what no-profit hard-core public option doesn't cover.
Health insurers are lying when they blame their above-average annual price hikes to health reform. They are using the health reform to hide their annual greedy grab.
They are getting millions more clients with taxpayer subsidies, and still they want more profits.
Like all the other huge ups in America, the health care sytem is beyond repair. The doctors and corps have too much power and will defeat any attempt on their greed.
WC, tell how the conservative tea baggers vote by thinking for, eg, ignorant hucksters like pitbull and O'Dumbell.![]()
If you liberals don't like going though the insurance middleman, then pay for your doctor visits directly.
Insurance is a choice. Not a right.
... skipping right past why Americans, with 50M uninsured, pay twice per capita for their medical care and drugs that other industrial countries.
Why do you "like' going through a gouging, for-profit middleman to get your health care?
In case you hadn't noticed, it recently became an obligation.
Give me the same subsidies and the same legislation that gave them the leverage Ins co have, and I won't have a problem paying out of pocket.
Until then, you're comparing orange to apples.
It will be shot down in the courts.
Do you have an en lement mentality?
Shame on you.
Insurance and medical care wouldn't be so expensive if we did things at the root level instead of these damn band-aid solutions. The root problems need fixed. People with insurance need to pay more in copays so they actually consider if they need to use the benefit or not. People with very small or no copays abuse the insurance intensively. This jacks up the costs for everyone. Regulations for medical providers need to be made in a more common sense fashion. Requirements add costs too. Lawsuits add extensive costs in various ways. We need some kind of fair tort reform that still allows accountability, but doesn't award people for getting hang nails.
Repugs back in power!
In the name of that beloved leader W Bush can we now get that gas back above $5 a gallon? Yee Haw!
Haven't you been watching? It's been slowly going up for some time. With today's $600,000,000,000 infusion from the fed, I'll bet they take another nice jump in price soon.
It seems the that oil country Sovereign funds are giving money to Wall St commodity traders to trade up the price of oil, makeing $Bs for the traders and the oil countries.
When dubya and head oilmen came into office, oil was $35/barrel. Price when he left office? Causality?
LOL @ attention s bumping their own ancient bull .
