Your deductible doesn't go towards the medical bills of others.

Suck it up, or move to single payer. Don't ask the rest of your less fortunate citizens to die so you can save money and blow it on non-essentials.
Who said I can afford it?

So you ASSume again. And what gives you the right to dictate how I spend my money.

Payment including the interest (wasted money) on the debt is due every month.

Answer the question. When is the national debt due? If you are going to bring it up in every thread, please enlighten us as to the due date for our $17 trillion balance.

You forgot the premiums too. Seriously now if one does not have the 10K for a deductible they certainly aren't going to have 40 grand for a hospital bill.

They can't keep jacking up deductibles that high for everyone and actually calling that affordable health care reform.

That's why, if the Affordable Care Act was not going to offer a public option to compete, then
it should have left bad enough alone.

Everyone knows Insurance Companies wrote the damn thing, so who do you think comes out ahead...
The customer or the conglomerate....
All the Act did was legalize excessive profits for insurance/pharm industry and hire the IRS as its enforcer.

Payment to service the US debt is due "every month". What do you think we have a balloon payment some time in the future?

If think debt is due in a balloon payment, payable in the future then you are supporting that the kids and grandkids to pay it. But the debt is so huge taxpayers are paying today and the kids and grandkids will pay tomorrow.

And you think big government is the answer? wow, they can't handle money.

This thread wouldn't exist if a Republican were president.

I remember (some) conservatives' reactions to the patriot act when Bush was president, "If you're not doing anything wrong, what's the big deal?"

Divert attention away and ASSume I think either party is the answer. Why do you think I am for small government? If we must have government keep it small so they do less damage and take less of our money.

No one said it wouldn't exist if a republican was president. Government should be kept small so they don't cost the American people so damn much and we could keep some of the money to spend. People would be much happier to spend the money they make instead of being forced to pay for big government.

I could not give a rats ass what color you are, if you are a liberal you enjoy the position of being subservient to government which offends the hell out of me.
