BK>>>>   Put the public option back in. Dramatically is $1 trillion a year   
    BK>>>>   savings on the US medical care system, which is what we would   
    BK>>>>   save with the most expensive national health care system in the   
    BK>>>>   industrial world.   
      
    BK>>>>   Dramatic is going from 17% heading to 20% of GDP to 8% to 12% on   
    BK>>>>   the highest end.   
      
    BK>>   ...   
      
    BK>>>>   People are dying for lack of health care.   
      
    JM>>> People with healthcare die.   
      
    BK>>   IF that's your reasoning you should not have insurance,   
      
    JM> I think I should have the insurance flan that fits my needs   
    JM> and that I can afford.   
      
    Which does not address my response to your comment, nor your   
    comment itself. Until you can guarantee what medical care you   
    will need that's non-responsive to life.   
      
    BK>>   should  not even seek treatment when you are injured or ill.   
      
    JM> Why not I have insurance.   
      
    You said people with healthcare die. Unless you want to die you   
    shouldn't get medical treatment if that's your standard. If you   
    believe medical treatment is a good thing your comment above is   
    just more smoke.   
      
    JM>>>>> You have no idea what it takes to light my fuse, you have   
    JM>>>>> never seen it lit.   
      
    BK>>>>   Would someone you care for dying for lack of healh   
    BK>>>>   insurance light it?   
      
    JM>>> I don't have a lack of healthcare insurance and no one I   
    JM>>> care about does either. And guess what... I didn't need the   
    JM>>> Government to tell me I needed it or ask you to pay for it.   
      
    BK>>>> Either there is a very small group of people you care about,   
      
    JM> Should have said care for instead care about.   
    JM>  You do understand the difference between "to care for"   
    JM>  and "to care about."   
      
    Yes. But it's not as wide as you seem to think. So, you are   
    saying you wouldn't mind is someone you care about dies for lack   
    of medical care? Or is that just another diversion you throw out   
    there?
