Instead - ask how that applies at all to the situation that William brought up. Is he implying that William skirted his financial obligations? Does he know of a specific person who has? Or is it just some sort of strawman tactic? (DING DING)

It was a pretty insulting thing to say to William, but by treating it like a real statement, we're only giving it credit it doesn't deserve.

I've paid into insurance my whole life (when I could get it - and only then through employers. I'm a "pre-existing" type) - and yet - even with all the payments into the system - I walked out of a hospital stay with a bill for TEN FUCKING THOUSAND DOLLARS.

TEN FUCKING THOUSAND DOLLARS

What the sweet shit have I been paying hundreds of dollars a month deducted out of my payroll checks for?

I know that some of you brainwashed apes will have some witty reply about the free market that you heard on Sean Hannity or something, but seriously - Brad walks out of the hospital paying $50 and I walk out paying $10,000 and the only difference is a border. Is life so hard in Candada? Has their health care ruined life up there?

In fact, it hasn't. I've been to Candada a few times, and, first, other than the fact that most Candadians are better dressed and have better manners than America, and a slight accent, you CAN'T TELL THE DAMN PLACES APART. (Unless you're going from Detroit to Windsor. Detroit is a fucking Shit-hole. Let's be frank here.)

I don't even get why the serfs are so busy taking a moral stand on behalf of their masters - it's not like the Republicans have a legit ground to stand on - it's the Iraq war all over. Remember that shit - "Why are we invading a soverign nation that hasn't threatened us?" and they'd just spin the wheel and pick a different lie depending on what day it was? Same shit. Their lies are hung out to dry every day and yet each day they're back with new ones, and their zombie followers don't take the half-second to care if it's true or not, they just rant and screach in public and on the media and on the internet. Point of fact, the bill that's finally floated to the surface of the toilet that we call congress? It's basically the Republican bill from the 1990s. It's being opposed because: 1) any bill will hurt the pockets of the industry that's killing people for profit and 2)the Republican plan is to oppose anything and everything, no matter what, even if it's things like - their own health care bill, or Al Franken's Anti-Rape bill. (Yup. Republicans voted FOR rape recently. Just so they wouldn't be on record as voting with Democrats.) Realize when you're being played, you fools.
