    Yes, I understand that it's a difficult question for you to answer. It's hard to justify initiating aggression against one's fellow man.

    Wow, calm down, snowflake.

    Your position is that you support taxation, right?

    Yes, we all fight for the government (i.e. taxpayers) resources and currently you are more successful in doting it, then the others health care users.
    I just pointed out that it is disingenuous to blame other people for their desire to share government subsidies equally.

    Can't defend his calls for sociopathy, so runs to tell teacher that someone is questioning his plan. What a precious snowflake.

    I don’t think taxation = taking your neighbor’s property. If it does, then civilization was born from theft. Taxation has been around since the first government.

    Can you imagine how the US would function if it didn’t collect taxes? No army. No roads. No courts. Total chaos.

    So yeah, you need to elaborate what exactly you think is theft. Because if you think all taxes are theft then you know as well as I do that your argument laughable.

    Taking someone's property without their permission.

    I said elaborate. Not repeat. Who is proposing taking their neihbor’s property? How exactly does their proposal amount to taking their meighbor’s property?

    The truth, as you have demonstrated by your constant retreat to a vauge truism, is that you’ve got nothing. I accept your defeat. Thanks for playing.

    You.
    Ask Wesley Snipes.
    I can't get on board with your idea that there are certain special people who have the right to their neighbors property. Were you or I to take our neighbor's property we would rightly be regarded as thieves.

    It is not efficient for me, I do not want to buy overprices product.
    If no one can provide affordable product on the market the only answer is to lift restrictions on Medicare.

    Yes, because people brainwashed to the point of absurdity.
    It is absurd to refuse something that is much better in quality.

    So you thought youd try and get yet one more thing taken from your neighbor and given to you

    That’s ridiculous. My wife had the same plan. She had a serious illness which consumed the deductible and “out of pocket maximum” which were paid from the HSA. The insurance paid the remainder of the $100K bill. When she went on Medicare she had ~ $25K in the HSA.

    You have no idea how HSA’s in conjunction with high deductible catastrophic insurance policies work. Do your homework and avoid further embarrassment.
