Most people are selfish assholes who dont wory about anyone but themselves. I settled down and accepted that while I was still a teenager. Most people are also too focused on that selfishness to even realize long term it costs them more money when those people end up at the hospital anyways. I accepted that a long time ago too

It saves everyone in the system money if you have health insurance as opposed to going to the emergency room. If you've covered you can get more preventative care saving money in the long run for everyone in the system, not just the minority.

Looks like you beat me to it. People are generally more angered by perceived injustices then actual injustices. Its more important to get angry at the person you think is getting a one up on you then the massive company that actually IS getting a one up on you.

Man I really dislike Cramer. Why is this clown even on?

BTW if one doesn't have cable like me a livestream is already up on justintv

John Huntsman just earned my vote because he used "efficacious" correctly in a sentence.

Not sure about what I think about Maria Bartiromo, although she is the best part of the debate so far.

Cramer?

OMG, Rick Perry says he wants to get rid of 3 agencies- forgets third and laughs it off. This guy really needs to stop running.

Secondly I still find it funny that Cain quoted pokemon, and his tax plan comes from the simcity.

I sdunno if thats cramer. He had some really intelligent and pressing questions on housing.

I don't usually watch CNBC. I think the channel is just as hype and propaganda driven as Fox.

I think bic made a mistake when he mentioned "the minority." He actually meant minorities. HTH dohdoh out.

Dammit...there's another debate tonight and I missed the first 45 minutes.

Not that good really. More of Cain flip flopping and ramming 999 into everything, Romney stays safe, Gingrich makes himself out to be above these debates, Ron Paul hates on the Fed, Bachmann is off in left field with tax plans being related to happy meals, Huntsman seems to understand whats going on and nobody claps when he speaks, Santorum still looks doa and flails trying to gain traction all night, and Rick Perry is apparently too stupid or so relaxed to be bothered by his own policy decisions and as usual they all thank god they are not Obama.

In that case, I'm glad I was watching "The Quick and the Dead" instead.

An interesting article, although it really proves nothing...

Why? Because like the Mississippi governors race they were not important as the three I did post, which put into effect or keep drastic changes to policy decision.

Hopefully it stays true election day.

Yeah, Maria is really the only one that makes CNBC watchable the I'm a bit shocked that a person with a BA in economics didn't challenge any of these clowns on their backwards economic theory.

The last page here had a statement that people don't like to buy health insurance to pay for other people's healthcare, or something very close to that. I just have to say that I've never read anything more ridiculous than that. Health insurance (and all insurance really) is pooled risk. Put it this way; if you have health insurance and you break your leg, are you using your own health insurance? What about the next year where you still have insurance but you don't break your leg? In fact, you get no medical care whatsoever the next year but you still pay the $5k or whatever per year in premiums. What does that mean?

It's the same thing with this "death panel" BS. If you think govt health care is evil because of death panels, for what reason do you think that there are entire floors at health insurance companies that employ actuaries? ing imbeciles.

Most people do not want to be forced to buy health insurance to help pay for people who can't afford it.

I wasn't far off bic. So I ask again, what is insurance if you don't use it? What are you paying for? It's pooled risk and you're paying for everyone else in addition to yourself.

Nice strawman.

Go back and re-read what I said. Reading is fundamental, kids.

But cool diatribe.

You are my #1 fan.

Really? The people elected Obama, and it's not like he kept his healthcare plans a secret during his campaign.
