This past year someone whom I lent a lot of money too was granted chapter 7, all gone. > I'm glad you have lots of money. All that being said, if you live in a society and enjoy the fruits of that society, then it would seem to me that you would feel an obligation to give back some to the society, instead of just taking from it. That's bs. I enjoy the fruits of my labor. Society doesn't give me anything. Society produces NO FRUITS. Only people produce fruits working for their own self interests. No one is going to work each day and sending me their daily wages. It's just not happening. I don't need to send anyone else my daily wages either. No one is entitled. I don't buy the irrationality that people are slaves to something and have some kind of obligation to that someone since they are OWNED. Nope, not true. Only people count, not " society " or any groups one may name. People negotiate with each other to provide goods and services in return for goods and services. Some people proved the labor of their minds and bodies for wages, like construction workers or hookers. Others work for themselves and exchange the outputs they choose to create for the output of others. An efficient person can specialize in something and make 100s of those somethings in the time it takes someone else to make only one. That is the foundation of exchange. The only fruits ever produced are either by people or literally by their property (trees, etc.). In other words, I have no DEBTS to any society and have received nothing from them, never negotiated a contract to exchange goods and services with them, and have only delt with people my whole life. As to people having a right to something from me, that is true only where we have negociated a contract to exchanged goods and services. Otherwise, I have no obbligation to anyone. However, as to the " poor " whom you see as having a right to reach into someones pocket by define a " living wage " or a " health care right " , they would be far far far better off in a free market without government intervention. Government control and regulation drives prices of dramatically. Nurses could proved basic medical care for say $10/visit but the law forbids it. These same nurse could send patients onto more education professionals if their problems were not simple. That would save a lot of money. There are many many many other business models which would exist to drive prices dramatically lower if the government would get heck out of the way. Russia was a socialist system and people lived poorly and worked in very very very inefficient state industries. North Korea is a socialist state and when the government allowed small garden plots to sell their goods to others, the food produced by small garden plots far exceed the entire output of the socialist state. Some of these small farmers started to get rich, something socialists curse, so what did North Korea just do in the past months, it replaced their natural currency AND only allowed $40 to be converted to the new currency effective destroying the entire wealth of the small business persons. Now, everyone is the " same " again and every gets and equal share of almost nothing. The poor in the US are far better off than average citizens in many nations AND they would be far better off if the US government would eliminate 90,000 of their 100,000 laws, if not all of them. You may thing that people that want a true free market and want the government to not be allowed to intervene in the economy like they cannot control what church you go to, but I say religion is much better off without the government and the economy would be far better off too, and so would the poor. My plan is much better for the poor than any North Korean socialism or any portion thereof you want to implement in the USA. People who make money and " keep " money can do it two ways, they can provide a good product for a price others are willing to pay and do so better than their competitors OR they can use government to get them a false advantage so that prices can be kept high and their profits are not the result of honest competition. Your plan makes the immoral rich richer. My plan allows the moral rich to do what they do best, increase the economical per capita wealth of all Americans and would bankrupt the immoral rich. You enrich the immoral rich while bankrupting the moral rich. You are a slave and you don't even know it.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 That's not the same thing. If you had a house, in whatever condition the insurance company should have to sell you insurance for the value of your house whether that was a million dollars or one. However, no house, no insurance. As far as health care and preexisting conditions, there is still a living body that needs insurance. However if the person was dead, then the insurance company should not have to sell the survivors health insurance for their deceased relative.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I agree with you with one exception. My problem with the system is that insurance companies can negotiate a doctor's fee of $150 down to say $47 and that's what the insurance company pays. When I didn't have insurance, I usually got the full $150 bill. Some doctors will negotiate. Dentists however will not, at least from my sample of a dozen dentists. As to hospital bills, they usually charge the uninsured about 3-5 time health insurance rate. My heart attack and stent procedure was billed to me at $90,000! That doesn't included the doctors, ambulance, etc. A full heart bypass insurance paid about $25,000 at the time. I was told they would bill me about $250,000 for a full bypass and I elected to try stents, many stents. As it was, I was able to negotiate the bill down to $30,000 but I was still being taken to the cleaners. What I would like to see is the ability to buy " negotiated rates " from medical providers. This might cost say $5/month but would be well worth it after only one doctor visit. One can never get a doctor to provide info on his fees up front.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 That's because the law requires business to provide service regardless of ability to pay. That's why they charge the uninsured 3-5 times the going rate to make up for the people who cannot pay. It's the uninsured who end up paying for this law.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 The only reason that North Korea can do what it is doing is not because it is socialist, but because it is a dictatorship in whatever disguise they choose to present to the world. Of course it's not better.  If your valhalla of no government laws were in effect there would be chaos. It's called anarchy and has been proven over and over to destroy everything. In your perfect world where you take nothing from society, do you own a car, do you buy food, do you drive on roads, do you buy clothing, do you buy shoes? Of course I don't know where you live in Utah, and it's entirely possible that you live in one of those self contained compounds. However even in those there are cars and trucks and guns and shoes and other things that are purchased from the outside world, so even that would not be a total island.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I agree with that. I got thrown into over $15000 of debt for dental work because I didn't have insurance. As a senior on a fixed income it has put me in the category of not having any discretionary income at all. Several health issues have not allowed me to work, so I haven't been able to get any extra income. You were right the dentists would not negotiate and charged ridiculous prices for what they did. That was three years ago, and the change in credit card rates has me standing in one place on this debt now. I'll probably be paying this till the day I die.

I'm not getting something for nothing. The exchange is consensual. I buy what I want and I pay for it. It comes from people, not society. Government can exits without regulating religion, without regulating the economy, or without regulating if I can have sex on Sundays and which ways are allowed. IF governments were not regulating say cars, I would get my information from private sources, like consumer reports. Wait, that's were I get some of my information in spite of government regulation. If governments didn't regulate cars, then I would still get my information from the same places and still select cars based on quality, safety, and economy and would get a better car at a cheaper price. If you think the diversity of a jungle with it's 1000s of species anarchy, then so be it. The alternative in your socialist utopia is miles and miles of corn fields.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Follow the logic. My $200,000 house has $125,000 of fire damage; I want to now buy insurance to cover the damage. Or, my house was robbed and $20,000 in electronics and vandalism damage has occurred and I want to now buy home owners insurance to pay for the costs. O, and even if I don't pay, I can show up a the home owner's insurance ER and demand payment to cover the problem and the home owner's insurance ER must pay for my damages by law and I can just decided never the repay the costs. That's a pre-existing condition AND the right to ER services all wrapped into one that anyone can understand. Steve On 1/12/2010 11:00 PM, Roni Molin wrote: > That's not the same thing.
