The funny part is that my positions on health care are very moderate and mainstream, but on the PoliBoard, they appear extreme.
We can't read your mind, either.

Point me to the section about children dying in the streets.
If you truly claim you want to learn more about it, as you say, then read the whole thing.
You'd do well to have a better understanding of the thing you seem certain didn't exist pre-ACA.

In the end he says kids wouldn't get this surgery if born without insurance.
The procedure performed was probably developed in the US. The life sustaining machines the child was hooked up to were developed in the US. The meds he will be on were developed in the US. The lifetime of treatments/testing were developed in the US.
All these great and wonderful socialized medicine countries don't do shite for the advancement of medicine.

And that has nothing to do with anything I've said in this thread. It is completely unrelated
Given that, I guess I'm missing your point here.

Touching speech but I really don't need a celebrity to make more sympathic to the plight of poor and sick people.
I usually just listen to their stories and hear them out. Shouldn't be hard to relate to others or give an open ear to those in neeed that don't have privilege or platforms

Nah, I'd like you to point me to anything that supports the over-the-top emotional bullshite you regularly bring to these threads. You've never even attempted to support it, so I can only conclude that you're talking out of your arse, as usual.

So far, I appear to have a better understanding of it than you, and that's sad. You do this for a living. I don't.

Clear cases of recission happening pre-ACA, and you still refuse to believe it happened.

I really doubt bamaatls claims of work in the medical field. Such a stark misunderstanding of statistics and study interpretation is troubling.
Posted on 5/2/17 at 12:32 pm to Tiguar
What study would you like to discuss? What statistical argument are we making in this thread?
Go on...

O so you have no problem assuming that Kimmel meant, but now you want proof this is the best I can offer:
Yes. I think. But this sentence is a mess.

No, I want specific instances of "children dying in the streets," "lives at stake," or any of the other bullshite claims you've made in these threads.
Link those, or admit it was purely emotional, and we can move on.

It was in reference to your threads in the past citing misleading studies and faulty numbers.
Just search your own thread history.

She loves her some cherry-picked charts, doesn't she?
Posted on 5/2/17 at 12:37 pm to GetCocky11
OK, OK. You aren't the caring giving soul I thought you to be. Got it.
Anyway, I'm not sure asking the responsible to pay for the irresponsible is very moderate.

"lives at stake,"
see CBO score of AHCA costing >24M people their insurance, and related study about the cost in lives for removing insurance from people bringing excess deaths.

They're not faulty because you don't agree with them on a policy level. If we can't agree that KFF is a legitimate source of information, then you're really living in a different world than the rest of us.

AHCA
When did I ever mention the AHCA? I get it. It's a piece of shite, so you're latching onto it, but I was vocally opposed to it.
Try again.
