Groups like that are never actually interested in having a discussion.

Don't rain on the hate parade, it's what that commenter is here for.

HBO has been improving on some his own slapdash bullshit, so I'll just say yay.

However, choice, in and of itself, isn't driving costs.

Yes it has, no argument there. So has healthcare, but you kind of have to plan for that.

Nope this is called a discussion. Oh wait you don't like being told you're ignorant?

Midwives are an example of how most people in other countries make do with less and yet have far better health outcomes. They also are a sign of how different other societies work, in that we don't educate more people than there will logically be a demand for. If you keep creating OBs when there's no need, they will…

I love how you think you know me well enough to lecture, but really you're just a very ignorant (typical too) American. Socialized healthcare requires cost controls that no American will accept, but yet Americans of the pseudo left demand socialized health care. You cannot have oodles of choices and low costs, it just…

That's what immigration is for.

I know you have your own sub-blog and are thus one of the sainted elite. All hail you.

Don't demand an OB when giving birth when a midwife will do just fine. Don't demand antibiotics for your viral infection. Don't demand all these things you do not need. Americans spend more per capita on healthcare than any other OECD country yet get worse QoS, perhaps because idiots who think they have medical…

My grandparents didn't go to college. Great Depression boo. Seriously, it's like you failed basic reading comprehension in school. Nice try though. They both worked so their children could go to college, but who still had to work while in college, because nothing was free.

Which is why you don't answer. Or give them a piece of your mind, being sure to call them patriarchal knuckledraggers.

Education is free, paid for by my tax dollars. Enjoy the free ride K-12th grade. Tertiary education, well you can do what BOTH my grandparents did and work.

Well if he's still heading south maybe he can do me a favor while he's down there. Joking of course.

I actually just am blaring it at work because I don't care and often I feel like this about my coworkers: http://www.duffelblog.com/2013/11/outgoi…

May I suggest you start with a Negroni? Packs more of a punch and makes your breath all herbal.
