Speaking of racist Democrat Socialists, ever hear of General Nathan Bedford Forrest?
A fine Democrat, credited with starting the KKK, after the War Civil War.
A distant kin to Bobby Byrd and Al Gore Sr…They didn’t like Blacks who spoke with any accent or whether they was “light skinned or dark skinned”..
I think Harry “Pit Yorkie” Reed said that…
You boys really are ignorrant…and arrogant.. Treating a poor under educated Black woman from Detriot, this way…

Juno, you may regard it as a “joke” when racists portray African Americans as stupid. If so, you’d probably enjoy the 19th century minstrel shows, in which almost all of the humor was about making African Americans seem brainless. That would make you just as much a racist as the lout who posted the drivel you’re referring to. I hope you teach your children not to regard such things as funny. If not, they’re going to have a tough time living in this country when they grow up.

I’m glad to hear it’s the last time you’ll be saying that, Rafi – oh, sorry, I forgot you’re pretending to be the “under-educated black woman” in the post I’m replying to.

What I’d like to say, not for the last time, is that racist, homophobic scum like you are a dying breed. We’ve already reached the point at which you can only spread your poison on an anonymous message board. That’s because if your neighbors and co-workers found out what a rancid bigot you are, you’d have to leave town. The time is not far off when your hatemongering against blacks and gays won’t even be possible hiding behind a fake name on the Web. That’s something the rest of us are really looking forward to.

And why are we do down on the post office? The reason they’re not profitable like UPS or FEDEX is that they have to provide daily service to everyone (just as AMTRAK has to sustain less profitable routes as a public service). We should be willing to pay as a society so that even postal customers who are not profitable can get mail–and the analogy applies to healthcare. There are some things that benefit us all, and I would argue that enhancing the health of our citizens is in that category.

Yes, and you should shop around to get the best deals under the system you have. But those of us who are insured through our employers (and forfeit some other type of compensation in return) will pick up the rest of the tab if the providers give you a deal. We also pick up the rest of the tab for people on Medicare and Medicaid (in addition to the taxes we pay into the system). Medicare is a good system, although it doesn’t reimburse quite at the market rate, so people have difficulty finding doctors. There’s less waste there than in other insurance companies.

Unlike most on this page, this discussion is about something real instead of Rush’s Limbaugh’s lies.

My only contribution is to ask why people who are currently paying an arm and a leg for health insurance (no pun intended) and are seeing their cost go up every year with no end in sight would NOT want to enroll in a Medicare-type system instead. Medicare is the only system in this country I know of that puts a lid on what providers can charge AND on what members have to pay, AND does so without increasing members’ contributions every year. Juno, your high deductible policy costs you a certain amount this year. You have no idea what the company is going to charge you next year or what the coverage limits will be next year, isn’t that right? Why does that seem better to you than a system that does not have those disadvantages. Please explain if you can.
