A) You're still ok with the government enforcing that? What about if you're driving slow in the rain and still slide into a ditch or into a pole on the sidewalk. Is that not also what your auto insurance is for? I mean I just discovered my auto insurance will reimburse me for calling a pop-a-lock company to open my door after I left the keys in.
C) Those electronics products are cheaper but the quality is ****. In particular, items that have planned obsolescence like phones. Do you think it's right that phone companies force you to download updates on older phones which makes them go slower and freeze, forcing them to upgrade to a newer one? I know you're going to defend corporations no matter what, but is there not a slither of disgust in your blood that companies purposely make products that they know is going to be slow and unusable in 24-36 months, or force users to download updates in general?
D) We're just never going to agree with this here and it's no surprise. You don't think government should be involved in health insurance, period. It doesn't matter if health insurance companies boned people before Obamacare, especially sick people. I don't think health insurance companies should play with people's lives or people should go bankrupt because of them. But I already know your answer is going to be, it's their right to do that yadda yadda yadda. I'd rather we go all in for a single-payer system. We already know you're just going to talk about it's not the government's responsibility, wasted spending, etc. You basically are saying because the government just provided new customers to health insurance companies, that they should raise them because they can. Health insurance company in California bragged about record profits last summer, not even a few months later they were crying foul of having to raise premiums again. Sick people are using health insurance. Health insurance they couldn't afford before Obamacare. I get it, you don't care about them, and you don't like the fact they're causing healthy people's premiums in their insurance pools to go up. But yet when we call for a public option to give a choice for sick and poor people you're against it as well. No fingers pointed at the health insurance companies for ethics. We know you stand by them over sick people because their right to profit is constitutionally more important then a poor person choosing to stay home and flip a coin on going to the hospital. What do you propose as a way to help sick and poor people get access to healthcare? Because if we aren't putting htem in pools of healthy people and making their rates go up, we're offering Medicaid (which you're against), or we just gonna go start a GoFundMe everytime? Or are you going to ramble about government regulations and the free market again. As if you think there's tons of incentive for the free market to help sick and poor people with health insurance.
To be honest with you, I would cut other entitlements or shutter them into a simpler program if it meant Single-Payer universal for all. I would make cuts to food stamps, housing, etc if it meant healthcare were there for everyone. No use in having food stamps or a roof if you're about to die or always sick.
