Controlling through-the-roof medical costs

[Uncle Ben]

That was a pretty stupid move.

I've done quite well based on "analysis", not that you are privy to my finances or my moves. What have you done other than offer another one of your ill conceived American put downs from Ireland?

 

[UncleBuck]

I've done quite well

is that why i have to mail you a social security check and pay for your healthcare, old moocher?

 

[ASCIIGHOST]

So? If I don't like their terms, then they don't get my business. We all have, and make - choices. I'm not forced by a bank to pay them based on a law that promotes legalized thievery like the IRS.

Every one has "terms", that's life. Is that your wife calling? "IF YOU DON'T SHUT THAT CHILD UP YOU'RE BOTH GOING TO BED HUNGRY!"

And what if an individuals terms are simply to interact voluntarily? The US government conspired with the Federal Reserve on your behalf? You think the nations lending is done according to YOUR terms? What are you reading dude? Seriously. I dont mean to mock you like these other Marxist losers here. The buying power is whats robbed from you. I work just as hard as i did 70 years ago as i did today, and want to preserve the wealth I gained from said labor, not have 99% lost, by which i mean A dollar from 1930's buys what a penny buys today. $100 worth of labor in 1930 just to get a candy bar today? No. No. No.

"Terms" in life can change as soon as my wife or myself changer their mind based on new information. We then continue to interact voluntarily with each other. If we debated politics in life, and you brought up my wife you'd catch a real nice right cross. This really proves your a bitch. I got no grip with you, if you cant view another angle you're no better than the Marxist here. If only it were relevant the amount of life altering physical damage I'd impose on you, but its not. Which is why you said it, in safety, like the bitch you are.

 

[ASCIIGHOST]

Sort of.

Most "normal people" are not aware that what they do on a routine, regular and repetitive basis does not confer or deny moral qualities or even efficacy to any given actions. They think that things which are normal in the present are somehow correct actions until a few hundred years later when, upon reflection, it becomes "normal" to recognize just how stupid things were....

For instance the two guys watching the human sacrifice in the picture below could easily be saying, "it's not a perfect government, but its the best one we have" So, please, carry on with these "normal" conversations.

@rollitup The nice thing about being in a position of power, is you respond to things on your terms. Good thing this is just a cannabis forum. You seem like you want to interact, but really you just interject. Very little of substance is offered by the forums. Can't even find highly technical grow exchanges. Wonder why....Trollitup for site traffic. Just another stoner dream gone wrong.

Back off. What's there not to like, or you just in a bitchy mood?

I'm safe because I choose to be. I am financially secure because I made the right choices. I USE banks and credit unions for MY benefit. I don't pay for my bank's business or personal checking and savings accounts. They are a very convenient deposit for our monies and offer many nice services such as ATM's. We are members of two credit unions and a member of the best of the best financial services corps - USAA. I have in the past benefited from extremely low APR car loans or mortgages. We pay cash for our cars now.

I've never had better buying power in my life than I have now. Call that wisdom, luck...whatever.

i call that me sending you a social security check and covering all your medical expenses, geezer.

Would someone please explain to this retarded, broken record, how the Medicare and SS system works......where the payments came from originally. In a nutshell Bucktooth, it's MY money.

you paid nowhere near enough into the system to cover your very expensive health care needs. you even list about all the pills you need to take to keep your decrepit ass alive.

guess who is paying for that?

me.

 

[Uncle Ben]

me.

Thanks! Have a colonoscopy on me. Just maybe the good doctor will find your head.

how many different prescription pills do you need just to keep your decrepit, racist ass alive?

2, originally 3, but one was black. I refused that one since it was found to be a placebo and won't work for anybody.

homosexuality is more natural than your continued existence then.

maybe you should just die?

What we have in the US in the form of Obamacare was sold to us...by force...as UHC...but it is not. For it to be UHC it would need to be a set universal price, regulated to avoid taking advantage of the people by the pharmaceutical industry, which we are seeing in spades.

I'm liberal but I'm not stupid. Obama sold us out to big business on this one....one might argue it was to get our foot in the UHC door....but that might be giving him too much credit.

Sadly, Obama's altruistic math did not correlate with basic human nature. I don't enough fingers on either hand to count the friends, relatives, and acquaintances who simply refused to sign up??? I already had health insurance, so I really had no dog in the fight. I just wanted it to work.

 

[Uncle Ben]

Since when did any government solution work? It always fails because of unintended consequences and dumb asses that support them like Pelosi, Reid and Obama - "we have to pass it to see what's in it". I mean, it doesn't get any more pathetic than that.

Then why even bother to vote?

That's fucked up.

you're pretty fucked up.

Fox On with your lunatic fringe.

And yet you paid back loans early instead of using the capital available to make more.

It was an extremely poor call, just admit it.

I don't make poor calls and you don't know and will never know shit about my finances. Just admit it. But butt in you will just like you do regarding your infatuation with America. Move here since you seem to know so much about us and our ways. Might learn something instead of opining behind a computer 4,000 miles away.

Just because you're a gay blade there's no need to project your frustrations out on me.

You're such a bullshitter, you probably don't even understand what I've been saying to you.
