Insurance and points of view

[notadmblnd]

5. No one ever said that the ACA was the be all end all of health care. In fact, most of us here would

be happier with single payer. But to claim ones increase in health care cost via a employer or a private plan as a result of the ACA is disingenuous.

The poster did indeed blame the ACA and when question as to whether this was an ACA quote- the OP declined to answer.

Generally, the liberals I've encountered over the course of my life have felt that we are indeed our brother's keepers to a certain point and that it is our obligation to contribute to the better good of society. If my house never burns down, I'll never need use of the local FD, but yet I pay those services. The same can be said about schools, if I have no children....

One hardly ever hears a male complain about having to pay higher car insurance rates, but young, single males pay sky high premiums. The reason, young men tend to be more irresponsible drivers.

And as far a whining about having to contribute for things like prenatal care and birth for women- I've got no sympathy. For the same reason that they have to pay higher car insurance rates. young men tend to be irresponsible sex partners. That can't be denied, just look at the young single mothers in this country.

Even with mental health, who can predict if they'll never develop an issue such as depression that will need to be address medically?

So, no. The "I've got mine, screw everybody else" or the "I had mine and somebody screwed me out of it" attitude just doesn't cut it with me. Especially when it isn't true.
