re: What does Jimmy Kimmel's Kids Heart Problem have to do with ObamaCare?

Well, we need to find a solution that works. The ACA isn't that solution.

Obviously.

You never said this?

Your characterization was incorrect, as it usually is. Good to see you recognize that, hence your attempt at a subject change.

quote:

---

So zero kids dying in the streets because they were kicked off their health insurance

---

17,000 kids dying over the course of 20 years due to lack of health insurance. Just what you asked for. Always happy to educate you.

Me: you made the claim that you can't possess a car without a license and without registering it?

You: car regulations are before you can possess one (licensure, registration, etc).

Not my best work, but it'll do.

Just what you asked for.

Nope. That's not what I asked for. Here is what I asked for:

quote:

---

Sure, go ahead and link all the children dying in the streets because their parents were denied health insurance.

---

quote:

---

Your interpretation of them is the primary issue.

---

Please link a chart that I posted where you disagree with my interpretation.

It would be helpful if you provide evidence of your own interpretation so that we're sure it's more than your opinion.

No. We're still working on clearing up your confusion on these other things. When we get you up to speed, we can move on.

Is it your contention that none of the 17,000 children who died from lack of health insurance over 20 years pre-ACA were due to their parents being denied health insurance for a pre-existing condition, or having it revoked after the fact due to rescission?

That flies in the fact of what we know about the health insurance market pre-ACA. Hell, states even set up high risk pools (which were underfunded and had huge wait lists) to handle the huge volume of citizens unable to purchase insurance on the individual markets due to pre-existing conditions.

It's my contention that you haven't shown a single instance of a child dying in the streets because they were denied.

Link one. Just one.

quote:

---

I've already shown that I can

---

Can you? Then go on, link a chart you believe I misinterpreted and let's discuss your 'correct' interpretation. You've yet to do any of that, despite claiming you could do it easily.

quote:

---

Yes.

---

Go on, champ. You made a claim, back it up.

quote:

---

You know he meant to type don't have kids if you can't insure them and he's right.

Don't have kids if you can't feed them.
Don't have kids if you don't want to participate in their upbringing.
Don't have kids if you don't get involved with their education.

And on and on and on...

Poverty can't be ended with so many parents that shouldn't be having kids.

---

Is there a don't have kids if they have a correctable but expensive medical issue in your philosophy?

Because if not then you are on the side of the most fervent abortionists out there.

If you were poor and your child had a heart issue and the only way to correct the issue was to have government help would you let your child die?

Your child, that your wife had carried for 9 months. Would you be willing to say let them die rather then accept government money to keep them alive? Your child.

What would you do if it was your child?
