So, Raptor, if you had to go to the ER for a legitimate treatment, how high of a pile of dead bodies of people denied treatment would you step over? Or do taxpayers cover the ER costs to keep hospitals solvent? Or, do taxpayers pay less to get everyone basic medical exams and coverage?

I don't see another choice, really. The hospitals aren't exactly at the mercy of the insurance companies, but they have a far weaker hand to play, as long as enough people wouldn't put up with a society which required them to step over any dead bodies to get to the ER.

So, you're really left with only the last two choices. I think. I hope I'm not wrong.

Aren't you the one that just yesterday said I was an "extremist"?
What do you think you can expect from an "extremist"?

Sweet dreams,
The Extremist

A huge pile of bodies? One?

This attitude made me sick of Texas. I see no point in debates with someone who would either adopt such an extreme position or fake it.

And yet you have no problem with Wikileaks and Snowden the times they've broken the law?

DJT said they did, but that's only in Bannon's wettest dreams of trashing the First Amendment. They can publish what other people steal and send them, more or less.

Wikileaks would be found to be journalists, under any legitimate US court. I suspect that if Assange surrenders, he will go before a military tribunal. No, they are not legitimate, and have not been for the last 15 years or so.

Wait, who do you plan on enslaving in labour camps?

That was satire in the spirit of Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal".

Poe's Law. It's hard to pick up on satire from extremists.

Well, well, looky here.....

https://www.google.com/amp/www.foxnews. ... w.amp.html

From the article :

"One notes that polling has consistently showed that the vast majority of Americans believe no American now matter how rich should pay more than 25 percent of their income in total taxes. The 25 percent tax paid by Trump was his federal tax alone. Doesn’t count property taxes, sales taxes, state and local taxes.

Newsflash: Trump paid his taxes and more."

Comments anyone?!

Why do we only get to see two pages of a more than decade old tax return? It still looks like he's trying to hide something. Why doesn't he just go ahead a release them all? There is no one stopping him from doing that.

There are still a lot of questions and this release doesn't answer any of them.

Hey Angela,

I'm curious since you want to get into the healthcare industry, how do you feel about 24 million people losing their insurance and the tens of thousands of deaths that will result due to Trumpcare?

I've already been in healthcare for 15 yrs. It has never been as bad as with Obamacare - I even lost my doctor. I even had to go without insurance because I couldn't afford Obamacare when I lost my job. I see anything as an improvement.

And yet, millions of Americans who hadn't had health insurance have it now. Many of them won't soon, thanks to the Republicans.

So you're fine with tens of thousands of additions deaths every year that will occur if this plan goes into effect? Alright, got it. Again so much for the Republicans being "pro-life."

By the way Obamacare isn't something you can buy. It is a nickname for new regulations it is not a separate insurance plan.
