So what about my question, since the 1950s, have our freedoms increased or declined?

If you think eating petrolium waste by products in your "food" is freedom. Real food like you could buy 100 years ago is now "premium" like Bob's Red Mill and cost three times the price.

As much time as you spend on the politics forum, you should have learned a thing or two by now. Does being an Obama Drone affect your ability to absorb information, or do you just choose not to?

I have lost my right to enter into a private agreement with my doctor and insurance provider. I know longer get to choose whats best for me. Instead of informing people about making good decisions, the government is controlling the individual.

I'll try and keep it simple, because I know you have trouble separating yourself from abstract theories of a Utopian State.

That's not consumer protection! Obamacare regulates the hell out of doctors. What are you talking about? Obamacare IS THE LAW. That is what insurance providers have to comply with. It's NOT their fault my freedom of choice is being taken away. It's Obama and the Democraps.

Ok list an example of how they regulate doctors
 
What happens when a doctor is no longer in your new Obama approved plan and you can't afford the plan which does? What keeps doctors from moving to another country when they lose all their patients? Liberals are assholes.

I do believe that Obama care will influence Doctors to maybe retire a little sooner than they planed to do anyway.....And the young Doctor work force is weaker than retiring doctors,..So if you think about it Obama care is regulating the industry and that includes the doctors...So Doctors are being regulated...you just don't see it from where you are standing...

But the insurance companies patients use are getting regulated, the doctors stay the same. What aren't you getting that liberals do?

Because it was fatally flawed to begin with.

Please explain to me how we are going to insure millions of more Americans while the cost to do it goes down?

I'll have an open mind.

Well, think of insurance as a big pool of money, with actuaries on one end "betting" on the percentage of people who will need care. On one side of the equation is number of people, the other side, the amount each will need to pay to hedge that bet. These numbers hold an inverse relationship, the number of people in the pool rises, the amount each will need to pay goes down.

Its simple, everyone will require care at some point. people don't live forever. At what point do you throw in the towel trying to keep someone who SHOULD have died long ago, alive?
Do you really think that if a 98 year old man is dying of kidney failure that we should try to find him new kidneys?

She can't. She only spouts personally opinions and then never supports it with evidence or fact. Just cites articles that either have no relation to her original argument or are from clearly biased opinion articles.

I think you are adding in an unnecessary degree of difficulty into the equation. You're also getting into moral conundrums rather than mathematical. Which is the basis of any insurance actuary.
