If you want to pay $400 for items that are $50 in every other country than be my guest. Do you butter up before your boyfriend slides into you or do you like to get fucked dry? (Your boyfriend being the democrats, I usually have to spell it out for the ignorant among us.)

And yet here you are. What does that say about you. I unblocked you to see why some of your Comments had been deleted but not others. I see that it’s because some of the are less vitriolic than others. All are uncivil, rude and pointless rants. And you are so easily goaded. You could act like an adult and answer the simple question of why you blame the Democrats for the failures of the ACA. From past interactions with people like you, answering a direct question requiring self assessment and honesty seems to mean you are capitulating to an order to mutilate yourself. It’s so weird and alien to me that I am fascinated by it. I occasionally try to get a real answer out of wing-nuts by harrying them until they do give up. That’s where I am an idiot. I keep hoping self deluded people can be tricked or beaten into achieving insight. For a nano second I thought you might bite, but I guess I was too mean. I apologize to you, my dearest insecure snowflake. Rage on, but look into learning the difference between pointed questions and assertions. And lighten the fuck up, Francis. Being an perpetual anger bear can’t be good for your aging, already taxed heart.

I remember when that man-- in a cost-cutting move-- took the disabled children out of their rehabilitation homes for children where they'd always lived-- and removed them to state old people's homes to vegetate.

Managing to hide how well it had worked for him.

It's not necessary to separate them. As a doctor explained it to me, "if our system didn't work it would have broken down. It hasn't broken down." There are so many problems to get agitated over, why create them? Why search to find reasons to mistrust a large group of serious people who are blameless-- in fact who'd be so upset to think they'd damaged any child? It's hard to understand.

I have deleted and blocked parts of this thread so I can’t check, but did you say you have had type 1 DM for 30 years and have been self employed for about as long? If that’s correct you developed type 1 as an adult or in your late teens. That’s fairly unusual, unless you just weren’t diagnosed or treated until then. Or it means you started your own business while still in middle school or maybe elementary school, depending on how many grades you were held back because you were an obstinate fuckbucket even then.

It was PART of a multiple choice question DUMB FUCK. The last option was self employment, which I feel probably leaves you well and truly fucked insurance wise. I also inquired if you made too much for subsidies or lived in a state with crappy open market options, which might or might not be helpful to a self employed hyper-defensive fuck weasal such as yourself. Still not sure why you blame the Democratic Party for the failure to magically fix a chronically broken healthcare system. Is it because you don’t accept handouts and resent people who offer them? I was mildly curious which side of the Northernmost part of the country you live in, since you can allegedly to get to Canada so quickly. I’d guess Maine because you almost sound like a Paul LePig supporter. That would explain the hostility to new ideas, the need for self employment and the general inclination to act like a dick shaped fungus. To be fair though, I’m going on very little reliable infor and I’m sure there’s ton of assholes all the from Washington to Maine. Is “sweet cheeks” supposed to offend me by the way? It’s so bland that I almost feel bad for calling you a festering Teacup poodle cock.

You want credit for wanting universal health care, but unfortunately, somehow, the Democrats let you down?

* indicates snark alert.Gosh, I made totally unrealistic best case scenario assumptions about your insurance coverage. Horrible,idiotic, hopeful assumptions. If want you say is true, it makes it even harder to understand why you blame the Dems, who haven’t been in control of Congress since 2010 for the current collapse of the ACA and the worsening state of healthcare in the U.S. However, I’m sure your superior brain remembers why the Dems lost Congress lost that year. So the whole is clearly their fault.So I don’t keep pissing you off by guessing, tell me why you have to pay so much out of pocket for your diabetes treatment. Is it because: 1. You live in a state run by GOP dickheads who think only people who can pay cash up front should get healthcare? They demonstarte this by a. Making sure there are no or limited open insurance market options b. They didn’t opt into or did their best to limit Medicaid expansion. 2. Your employer doesn’t provide a decent affordable plan for any number of reasons 3. You make a little too much money to qualify for a subsidy but not enough to afford decent insurance 4. You’re disabled and at the mercy of whatever your state can or feels like paying for Medicaid and how much the GOP is trying to kill Medicare at any given moment? 5. You are self employed for whatever reason and therefore well and truly screwed.Which brings me back to my real interest in your situation, were you in worse shape, cost and coverage wise, before the ACA? When insurance companies were forced to cover patients with pre existing condition like yours. You have to admit that type 1 diabetics are a huge liability for health insurers. Since the Dems clearly failed to improve anything by adding that. * I find it peculiar that even though both houses of Congress approved the ACA and only the Republicans have been hell bent on dismantling it, you contend the Democrats were the ones that fucked it up. Even Pres. Dumpsterfire says he wants to keep coverage for pre existing conditions. Of course, he has no idea want he’s saying most of the time, but meh, that’s Obama’s fault too*

I agree we have some strong areas of agreement between us. But it was the democrats that had the best chance to fix health care, they failed. Miserably.

OMG, the stupid is strong with you. Let me see if I can break it down enough for your feeble mind to understand. You are spewing bullshit, end to end. You tell me I don't know anything about insulin, oh wait...I am a type 1 diabetic. You then ASSumed I am covered for this and that. Well listen here asshole, you are wrong again. Why would I pay $900 a month to the ACA, then the $300 deductible for 6 vials of Humalog? That is $50 a vial out of pocket. I pay $50 retail in Canada a 90 minute drive away. A doctor visit WITH lab work, A1C, thyroid, BP check, etc. is $250 once a quarter. Pump, CGM, supplies for both same story. Go fuck yourself, everything you type is bullshit.

With three words and a picture I got your panties all in a bunch and you typing up a storm. It takes so little effort to get a libtard in a frenzy. Is that why libtards riot and destroy neighborhoods when you don't get your way? Temper tantrums like a toddler?

No shit , Sherlock. What’s your point? U.S. healthcare system is broken and the rich people in control of Congress ( which party is that again?) don’t want it fixed. Tell me something I don’t know. Random coincidence factoid: Funnily enough, animal source insulin for human use was developed in Canada. Hypothetically it could be produced generically. That will never happen though. Generics must crushed or profits can not be increased.

Not that you care, but cost bundling is actually working to bring down prices. So far, they're using it in joint replacement surgeries. They hope to expand it to cover cancer treatments and such next.

I concur, and I don't like to sound like a grouchy heartless conservative, But you have idiots like this prick who scream about not wanting to pay for other people's well being but thinks we should bend over backwards for his type of being.
