The Case Against Universal Healthcare

[Tyrathca]

So you've said the same thing a number of times hoping I will change what I believe, right?

Wait you actually believe that repeating stuff ad nauseum makes them evidence?

I was just trying to get you to change your behavior, trying to get you to engage in more than just repetitive assertions. Perhaps I underestimated your stupidity...

Perhaps you are too arrogant. :idunno:

I have made a claim. If you think it is wrong, tell us why or give an example that refutes it. Whining that I will not back down because you don't like claims being made is kinda silly.

 

[Stripe]

I can't answer the poll.

:mock: People who can't answer polls.

I did quite a while ago, you dismissed it as a distraction and gave no other rebuttal. In not inclined to spend the effort to provide more until you stay showing you're willing to respond meaningfully.

Nope.

When the government assumes control of day-to-day operations of a societal system, the system necessarily becomes less efficient and more expensive.

Nothing to counter that.

Try reading, maybe you'll learn something!

I posted something that suggested that there is evidence that that truism ( yes I do believe in the broad principle you suggest is often true ), does not seem to work out accurately in the real world in the field of healthcare.

Would you care to comment?

Nope.

It seems like this all comes down to a very simple question: is accumulating wealth more important to you than promoting and protecting the well-being of your fellow humans? And if the answer is yes, how do you rationalize that as a Christian?

It seems like this all comes down to a very simple question...

....should we rely on government to wipe our butts for us when we're too lazy to buy toilet paper?

It's interesting that neither of you could face the question forthrightly.

And no, I do not believe that individuals can do for themselves what modern medicine can do for them.

Oh, there are ways.:chuckle:

And the answer is emphatically yes, otherwise Christians would be demanding this as opposed to shrugging off the needy and basically telling them to get a job, shut up, and not get sick.

Christians ... shrug ... off the needy.

Show us one person on TOL who will not respond to a person in need. :thumb:

Maybe not the emergency room, but good luck getting your torn-up shoulder surgically repaired without a way to pay.
