They meant well.

in the first place, correlation =/= causation. In the second place life expectancy decreased by one tenth of a year not a year one tenth of a year is about 5 weeks and as already explained there is zero evidence that it is in any way related to the ACA

Aren't we all enumerated human resources, pledged to serve, even to the point of dying in militia duty?
Don’t we accept that government has the inherent power to take from one to give to another, because government is superior to the people?

Banish the thought of Creator endowed rights to life, to liberty, to absolute ownership of self, labor, and private property. Forget that government was once instituted to secure those endowed rights as the servant of the sovereign people. And only with explicit consent was it authorized to govern. We are socialist peons, meek subjects who only have the duty to shut up, sit down, pay and obey.

Please! The "American Way" is basically those born on third base that think they legged out that triple all by themselves , saying "I've got mine-screw all of you" while using tired old cliches about "pulling ones self up by their bootstraps" while making sure their wealthy cronies have all the bootstraps.
Plus making sure the wealthy and Big Business get all the tax breaks, and have most of their tax dollar go to fight stupid wars that only serve to make more $$ for the wealthy. Oh and the firm belief that those born into affluence or privilege succeed totally by nothing more than "hard work". THose types can only succeed in the U$ where the system is set up for their benefit-no way could they hack it in a country with a more level playing field.

This has only been covered for years. I've covered it in this thread already. Did you read the thread before commenting?

For health care to ever truly be affordable the investment angle has to be removed. People's health should never be something hedge funds use to insure profits.
