CBO: Government insurance plan won't drive private insurance out of business

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Sounds like Americans are going to be forced to pay for deadbeats again. Way to go Obama the Socialist.

You're doing that already. Only the care you pay for today it the most expensive care to be had - that in the ER.

Honestly - how can people like you be just so - I can't find the polite words - just so completely ungrateful for your blessings and so completely unconcerned about your fellow man?

Youve been sucked into the vidictive BS libs spread like mayo. Must not include our fellow man /woman who works at said insurance companies.

Disclaimer: I work for an insurance company. I have worked for an insurance company since the year 2000.

Your argument is akin to saying we shouldn't ban cigarette purchases by minors because to do so means fewer jobs in the tobacco industry.

In other words, you're being silly.

And now let me hit you with a very conservative notion, one I happen to believe in.

Individuals are solely responsible for their own skillsets and marketability. It is not government's job to make sure your skill remains marketable. If you work for Cigna and end up unemployed because of this, you will find another job if you've kept your skills current. If not, you'll go the way of the steel industry worker, and deservedly so.

My personal opinion - most insurance industry workers will land on their feet. Having out of date skills just doesn't fly in this industry.

Dude the government sued "BIG TOBACCO" and demonized the ####### out of them! They won! The taxes of which were supposed to pay for child HC! Wheres the $? Why dont you trust the ppl to make theyre own decicions? This free ticket shite sickens me.

BIG THIS! BIG THAT! My GOD man some ppl are so envious of success they buy into the notion that anyone doing good is "BAD"!

Let me hit you with this. If you were starving,cold and hungry what would you do? If there was no government, no cell phone, no nothing, everything dead around you what would you do?

Lay down and die?

This HC program has lots of money to kill babies and the elderly. Just remember you aint gettin no younger.

Earlier this year, I read several FDR biographies. When the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority, an agency that provides electric power in the southeast) was created, there was Republican opposition on the grounds that a TVA would crowd out private electric utility companies. The Southern Company, a big power company that at that time only had businesses in the southeast, was supposed to be especially threatened.

The Southern Company has thrived and today is one of the biggest (perhaps the biggest) electric utility company in the USA. Apparently they learned quite well how to cope with a "public option" for power generation in their backyard.

It would be odd indeed if modern American capitalist businessmen turned out to be less capable.

I especially like it how Rogues cannot engage the substantive issues. This panel encapsulates it nicely.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Rogue doesn't do discussion. He does banter.
