  24. Raizhen010, keep harping on one point that I stand by and have defended to the core. It just shows that you have zero arguments. I am still waiting for this magic concrete that can catch on fire. I am now also going to wait for this forest that is mostly concrete as well. Uh, volunteer means volunteer. And again, there are private fire departments. And the fact that is it local does play a major role. Education is local and they have their own standards. You can't look at a local program and then say that the federal government can run healthcare. It is comparing apples and oranges. This "bigger pool" idea is not a strong argument. You say "more healthy people" and I can easily counter with more unhealthy people. But hey, you feel concrete can catch on fire.......oh hell, I moved on from that. Let me stick with the healthcare argument. The whole "more healthy people" is poor. Healthy people are not a burden on they system and they are typically young and do not have much money that can be taxed to begin with. Also, again, you are adding more unhealthy people to the system to weigh it down. At the local level you can micromanage it easier like they do with education. In education you have students who will weigh down average scores, but you can cater to them differently if needed. At the federal level you can't. You see, I do not need to bring up your asinine comments from the past to counter what you say. I can stick to the topic. You know why? Because I actually know what I am talking about.

  25. Raizhen010, I am not strawmanning. I said Concrete was a barrier. You you took that to the extreme to where it would stop all fires. I never said it would. Compare it to forest fires. Even if it rains they will still exist. Concrete hinders the spread of it. Maybe I should have said that. Doubt that would have helped as you would have twisted my words like when you claimed I was a union worker. Volunteer fire fighters are no paid. Keep ignoring private fire departments. Insurance is insurance. I know how it works. Insurance companies charge higher prices to the sick for a reason. It isn't a "pool" like you think it is. Insurance companies charge higher prices to the sick, just like car insurance charges higher prices to unsafe drivers, or even kick them off. It is your who have no idea how insurance works. Insurance is there to counter the inelastic demand of a good/service. At times healthcare demand is inelastic. At times it isn't. If I need something that is not an emergency it is elastic and I can shop around. If it is an emergency it become inelastic and insurance comes in. Like car insurance will not cover oil changes but will pay if someone hits my car. So when you say "community pools" and "that is how insurance works", you are 100% wrong on the purpose and idea of insurance. Insurance is there in case you need it but hopefully won't use it. It is literally "planning for the worst but hoping for the best". No a problem in this country is that insurance has become healthcare, and I feel that needs to be changed. Thta is where I feel problems are with our healthcare system. But that is due to the lack of a free market system in healthcare and our our employer based healthcare insurance system that is in place due to government policies. But that sides, your idea on insurance is 100% false. Why do car insurance companies kick off bad drivers? Why do many healthcare insurance companies offer lower rates to those who have smaller waist lines? If it is a "pool" wouldn't they charge everyone the same?
