Is Obamacare Working?
bobknight33You dumb like newtboy.
Heathcare was free market before the war. Employers started to add it as a benefit to attract workers during the war.
Government oversight from gross market abuse is fine. But the government has been grossly overreaching its powers over the the last 50 years or so.
ACA is a perfect example of gross overreach.
Heathcare is not market controlled - government regulations have driven costs up over the last decades.
I work at many hospitals and a new outpatient clinic was opened and was dead empty - It had been opened for few months. I talked to the administrator and she indicated that many more patients are paying cash and not using insurance. I asked if they market their prices. She indicated that it was illegal to do that.
If pricing was posted and advertise and peopled started paying directly with only using insurance for the big stuff then competition would come in and drive costs down. Government does not drive down costs or wring out excess capacity.
Quit being delusional with government control as a utopia for all.
You rely on the government for national defense, you idiot. You know why? Because in the real world you can't defend yourself from foreign armies and terrorists. You depend upon the police for protection no matter how many guns you might have.
Where the disconnect here is the idiotic notion that we don't need government for things like health care regulation. The reality is ACA didn't just come out of the blue. It came from an obvious systemic problem within the overwhelmingly market controlled system.
You can keep mindlessly babbling all you want that government intervention is always bad, but that is turning an idiotically blind eye to basic US history, where there are ridiculous number of examples the government getting involved to effectively regulate industries are undeniably good, like the Meat Inspection Act, Food and Drug Administration, making it illegal to put lead in paint, regulations for car safety, regulations on buildings so you can't for example put asbestos in the walls, requiring labels on food so you know what ingredients are in them, so you could avoid nuts if you have a deadly nut allergy.
You know why? Because, despite your delusions, you can't inspect all your food, wear a mask when you walk into every building you go into to protect from asbestos, know that the tires you are buying don't have an excessively high chance of blowing off your car and killing you, ensure the air you breathe doesn't have too much lead in it, etc. etc. etc.
You're dependent on the government for all that, and it has massively improved your quality of life, and it has nothing to do with your self pride or dignity, so cut the utter bullcrap.
Quick Tip: How to Make Perfect Bacon Every Time
bmacs27 says...>> ^jonny:
Was just about to leave the exact same comment. Cast iron pots and pans rule. Pot roast in a cast iron dutch oven > lousy sex.
>> ^probie:
I must be the only person left on Earth that still prefers bacon from a well seasoned cast iron skillet.
Plus it helps season your skillet.

Forget Bacon! Somebody post a video on how to make the perfect canna-butter or canna-oil. I've been trying to master the perfect canna-oil for a year now.
Low boil/simmer canna, butter, alcohol (ever clear or whatever), and water for a while (I don't know, a couple hours or so?). Afterwards, drain through a cheesecloth into a glass mixing bowl to remove canna material (trust me you don't need it, just try and wring out whatever you can). Put the bowl into fridge until you have a floating berg of green, delicious rendered butter on top. 7g (well ground) to a stick of butter should about do you right proper. Use the butter as directed in recipes. We usually make about 24 cookies. Be careful. Trust me. None of this "it isn't working yet, I should eat another 3." It's a rookie mistake. 2 for n00bs, 3 for vets. Our cookies come out visibly green, and they ain't pistachio. This can also work well and be a good use for larger quantities of trim ;-).
