Fact is, public education has been available for generations and has NOT put private education out of business.



Are those public universities free?


Depends on the circumstances of the student and his/her family. Rather like the healthcare proposal.


Ok what are the circumstances that make it "free"?

As I understand life - NOTHING is free and never has been.

SOMEONE pays, SOMEONE always does. I'm sick and tiered of it being ME that pays.


I don't think you and Tom are using consistent definitions. Thanks for being so helpful:P

He asked"Are those public Universities FREE"

You replied that it depended on the circumstances of the student and his/her family . . .

I asked what Circumstances make the education FREE?

Answer the question.



No need, you already did:

"NOTHING is free and never has been."


So answer what the circumstances would be to make them free.

Well, Tom, Turtle has givien you the answer. Since nothing is free, that will include "public" health insurance.

OK, I did that.

Now tell us which division and title FORCES medics to accept govt. insurance.



You read ALL the pages of the bill?



He'd be the only one in the country to have done so.

please listen to the whole interview and it will answer the question that the bill will force all doctors to take Obama's insurance program by eliminating private insurance programs.




It seems you have been fooled. The interview was full of falsehoods:

let say that obama gets what he wants when it comes to healthcare reform. many doctors may simply choose not to accept the public option just as now many choose not to accept medicare or tricare. then what? lets not forget that, as much as some of you loathe the idea, a physician's practice is a business, and it has to make money to stay afloat. obama's ideas about how doctors get paid under his plan just seem like a poor financial risk. would congress also have to enact a law requiring all doctors to accept government insurance?

what exactly is your point? nowhere in my post do i claim that obama wants canadian-style healthcare, so i'm not sure why you would quote my post and add a link about canadian-style healthcare. read the part of my post that says, "obama's ideas about how doctors get paid under his plan just seem like a poor financial risk." i'm not reading between the lines, taking on the view of fox news (or any other news source), i'm not guessing as to what he means. i heard him say that he wants to change the way doctors get payed. he spelled out what changes he wants to make. i'm not jumping to any conclusions as to "what obama wants".

If you're "not jumping to any conclusions as to 'what obama wants'" how can you know that "obama's ideas about how doctors get paid under his plan just seem like a poor financial risk."?

If your question really is purely hypothetical, why mention Obama and his "wants" and "ideas" at all? On the other hand if the context is actually the plan under consideration, then the details of it are relevant, including the fact that a single payer plan is NOT proposed, nor is any "force" proposed.

you clearly have no intention of actually discussing this in any intelligent manner. you have added zero value to this dicussion. i'm done with you in this thread.



Interpretation: you have no logical answer to the points I made so you resort to bluster.

Cool.:D

If you're interested in anything other than attempts to rile you up, interwoven with straight party line democratic agenda, you're better off to be done with him altogether.

Maybe he was referencing "The Messiah Obama's" wants and desires for a single payer system.

As I see it - SP eliminates insurance - or is something being overlooked?

Even if it is only 1 entity handling the administrative work, it is still insurance. Assuming there will be funding from multiple sources, and payouts to multiple providers, and review for necessity of care, and disease management, and pricing calculations, and tracking of outcomes, and....

Hmmm. Guess this whole overhaul of delivery and financing isn't quite as simple as some thought.

Well, no bother, let's make it simple. Let's allow everyone to go wherever they want for care, get whatever whacked out treatment they want, let providers bill whatever they want, pay 100% of all billed charges, ignore assinine treatment regimens and bad outcomes, give everything away for free, and tax the shit out of whoever we have to in order to pay the bill.

As O'Rourke once said "You think health care is expensive now, just wait until it is free."

There is no plan that can completely address the issue of wilfully irresponsible people. And the cost for doing so it not acceptable (i.e. the only way to do that is to demand either insurance or prepayment up front before any treatment, including emergency).

You are aware, of course, that was a clever cut and paste job taking lots of stuff out of context.



So are you saying that he is for or against Single Source?

I believe it was made abundantly clear that he was adamant about being FOR it.

There is no reason to bundle emergency care in there. You could (more easily) create a universal "emergency healthcare" plan, and leave non-emergency cases to a private system.

"President Obama's Science Czar, John Holdren, took a controversial and amoral approach to the science of population by recommending mass compulsory sterilization and even forced abortion (and/or forced marriages) under certain circumstances."



lets not get crazy here, that kind of stuff isn't going to happen. as far as doctors being forced to do abortions, i doubt that will happen either. my wife, for one, will give up her medical license before being forced to perform an electie abortion. countless other doctors will do the same thing. add that to the number of older experienced docs that will just retire if obama gets his way, and you will have a healthcare system in this country even more broken than what we have today.


Killing jews because of thier race....that could never happen. Who would actually be willing do to that and for what purpose? Doctors experimenting on jews. Thier doctors, they heal not kill. They wouldn't do that. There is no way a government would or could make such things happen. These laws are just for the good of society and mankind and they could never result in that kind of thing.......

It seems we all learn about history in school but so few actually learn from it.



Just another step in the direction of communism and another form of something like nazi germany.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the 1927 Buck v. Bell case that the state of Virginia could sterilize those it thought unfit. The most significant era of eugenic sterilization was between 1907 and 1963, when over 64,000 individuals were forcibly sterilized under eugenic legislation in the United States.
When Nazi administrators went on trial for war crimes in Nuremberg after World War II, they justified the mass sterilizations (over 450,000 in less than a decade) by citing the United States as their inspiration.[59] American eugenicists inspired and supported Hitler's racial purification laws, and failed to understand the connection between those policies and the eventual genocide of the Holocaust.

You could always READ THE ACTUAL BILL (link posted previously) instead of believing rubbish posted on right wing sites.



THAT wasn't a biased response!

Does that mean that everything on a GOP or right wing website is rubbish?:D:D
