When a guy shows up at the ER and is on the verge of death, we treat him regardless of his ability to pay. We never, ever, ever check to see if he can pay before administering care. That fact alone is a tacit admission that health care is indeed a "right".
If you don't like being called "stupid", then stop saying stupid things.

Actually, this is relatively new. When I was a kid you had to show "Means" to get treated in most hospitals. Charity hospitals were established to address this. Hetty Green, "The Richest Woman In New York City", spent so much time trying to find a hospital that would treat her son for free that he lost his leg.

Your absurd insularity is showing...

Most democratic systems (including Oz) have a spectrum of political thought far broader than the US, and certainly including political groupings that make Obama look like a member of the tea party...

Smug much?

You may buy into some ethnocentric stereotype that that since I'm "American" I don't have knowledge about the world outside the US; however, I'd be happy to pit my education against yours any day of the week.

Fuck off and shove your snarky comments up your ass along with the gay-ass "k" substituted in for the "c." Fucking idiotic.

I thought we were allowed to call other people's arguments idiotic, as long as we don't call them idiotic?

I'm not going to bother reporting other folks posts, but certain folks aren't playing any nicer.

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Something like a quarter million people have signed petitions in their states to secede from the US since Obama won last week.

Since no states will actually secede, I suggest a counter-offer for these people: internal exile. Let them all move into one of those big square states out west that nobody's using, like Wyoming, and we'll turn it into a semi-autonomous region within the US. Problem solved. :{D

Great, let 'em. They can become stateless persons, because there's no state that would pass that on a majority vote, not even Republicans are THAT stupid.

So now there's a counter-petition to strip the citizenship of anyone who signed a petition to secede, and to exile them. :hehe:

Ironic given that it's the red states that typically take in more federal money than they contribute.

It always amazes me how the same people who so often wrap themselves in the flag, paint themselves as "patriotic Americans", and claim this is the greatest country in the history of the universe, are so quick to trash it when people who disagree with them are in charge.

Makes it pretty obvious that when they say "I love America", they really mean "I love America....as long as everyone in it agrees with me".
