  • Free-Market Healthcare Falling Victim to Recession [View article]
    Response to Socialism cannot compete....

    Let's see, Hepatitis can be a STD; so are AIDS. So we should exclude those.

    Alcohol accidents, is irresponsible living, but so is obesity "irresponsible living". In fact, diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease can all be attributed to "living styles" that one can label as irresponsible.

    Getting the flu is irresponsible, seeing we have vaccines; but so is getting any disease that can be vaccinated; including HPV that can ultimately cause Cervical cancer.

    Heavy cellphone usage can cause brain cancer, so can other forms of cancer with working with petrochemical products, and smoking, so we can investigate a person's cellphone usage, jobs, and behavior and filter out "irresponsible behavior" first.

    I'll add tooth decay and gum problems too, coz you're responsible and take proper care of your mouth, it's impossible to have a tooth issue.

    Turns out most genetic disease is also irresponsible! If you had a genetic disposition to have offsprings that have genetic flaws, esp if both you and your spouse is tested, it's irresponsible for you to have offsprings, so you're on your own if you do get it.

    If you didn't test your water supply regularly, your air in your homes, your food, you're irresponsible, so don't come crying if you get cancer unless you can prove you did all those tests regularly.

    Your "irresponsible exclusion" is so powerful, that you'll be labeled the medical insurance industry's savior. It's more powerful than the "pre-existing condition" clause that's usually used to exclude service.

    What an arrogant, self-righteous and holier than thou response.
