QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 05:27 PM) Here's another point...they already have healthy people paying in to the system. We just spend that much money on the health care system. The amounts we spend are just ridiculous. Health care costs are definitely out of control.

had a good one to hit

obvious push on the replay.

safe he pushed his hand off

totally out lol

DAMN IT

damn it. had him if he was paying attention. guy totally slid off the base!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 04:48 PM) Second, you eliminate the ability of a large organization to negotiate prices; you're always at a price disadvantage relative to a larger company because that company can negotiate better rates. Its also a lot more possible for a co-op to go all AIG on you if they're not set up with sufficient available funds or if they don't have a large enough risk pool. Mutual insurance companies are not always small - see State Farm Insurance. But anyways, how do you plan on forcing a co-op to accept everyone? The co-op would merely be filled with individuals the insurance companies have deemed too expensive. The co-op would have insane prices as their costs would be astronomical compared to a company that is more selective and charges high premiums for people they see as a risk; unless the government heavily subsidizes the organization. Now, if we have a situation where the government mandates a co-op to accept everyone, charge low rates, and gets a lot of government assistance: that would basically be a government run option that is merely named a mutual. As we don't have a bill to go from, the nature of this 'compromise' is not known. If they want to cover everyone, they need to have healthy people paying into the system.

getting hammered now

no chance

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Aug 16, 2009 -> 12:45 PM) I don't really give a hoot what program is implemented but I want to see a system where everyone is covered no matter what their socio-economic position and I don't think anyone EVER should go bankrupt because of medical problems. I don't care if you think that's socialism or not. So I guess what I'm saying is... is this co-op thing supposed to cover everyone not already covered? I don't see how it would. A mutual or co-op is not usually required to accept everyone in. Cooperatives are not new to the insurance industry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_insurance

i predict a win

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 07:56 PM) I'm not disagreeing that they're wrong more than they're correct. But you're not arguing against their point or doing anything to demonstrate at all to me why they're incorrect. You're just making ad hominem attacks. No, they are wrong, just like when they suggest that immigration would have created jobs a decade ago. They are junk economists. California would be rolling in money if CATO was correct. If Sarah Palin came up with some bulls*** theory on why Gaussian matrices never work to solve a system of linear equations I wouldn't go into some long set of reasoning to prove her wrong. Waste of time.
