Rakin, I am so sorry to hear that! I was wondering about the high risk policies. In the past, didn't everyone who couldn't qualify get referred to their state's high risk pool? I think it would have been better to pump more money into helping those people than revamping the entire system.

And so sorry to hear her premiums went up.

Maybe you just don't really know any conservatives or libertarians to understand how we really think and are going by propaganda from the left. The whole Tea Party is not on government health programs, but I certainly wouldn't deny or belittle any care provided to our veterans, our seniors who paid in for decades, our brave military or the truly disabled and poor.

Explain to me how TriCare or VA care is a handout.
You'd have to be either stupid or live in a cave to think that, in my opinion.
Let's hear it, big guy...and then maybe after we'll comapare life stories, if you can be honest.
Certain I, and most veterans, have you beat there.
Stay in your lane, friend.
An old military saying.

I've already asked him that question on a different thread and I asked him how Medicare is a handout if you pay for it through the payroll tax...

He cowarded away from responding to the point and changed the topic to the cost of the programs. No doubt he will reappear and make the same outlandish claim somewhere else and then scurry away from responding to the point being challenged.
