Credit still isn’t irrelevant. How would one go about buying their first home if they had to pay rent and save $100,000 in the meantime?
IF they pass this stuff, I agree about the part where it’s only for people that pay taxes and contribute to the system.
The issue with “free” or not affecting your check is it will cost. You can pay via taxes. You can pay via a separate charge deducted from your paycheck. Or we can pay via inflation where they fabricate the money used to pay for the healthcare and further dilute our currency. Bottom line is we will PAY. I like the private system. It provides better chances for improvements in technology and less red tape. They just need to regulate the MF’ing insurance companies is all. And once the costs are more reasonable they should go after dead beat patients with vengeance.
I don’t agree with sticking the system. If you’re not going to pay for insurance you have to pay for the procedures…it’s only right.
Now I 100% agree with your concept of schooling being too broad in general and how credit is more a burden on society than anything.
Insurance is a scam…though in our highly medicated society it’s a needed evil IMO. I just wish they would regulate it so they would stop blowing the prices up every year. I’d like to be able to afford some food to eat as well as my insurance premium. LOL
To suggest selling an asset that is paid off so you can afford to dump money into a black hole is silly. I snickered at that one for a few minutes TBH. LOL
They would have done the same thing we did before credit existed. Think about it.
I agree. I want them to find a logical way to pay for it and also come up with a soulution to prevent the system from getting abused by dead beats who get hurt in gang fights, drug overdoses, etc.
I also want them to crack down on shitty companies that provide insurance to healthy people and when they need them becuase they develop a illness, they are dropped and left without coverage.
There is so much change needed as the system is flawed. I would be happy if we take ANY step forward that doesn’t involve increasing taxes in the next 4 years.
i broke both bones in my leg above my ankle, just over a year ago… the air cast was $225 alone and not covered by my insurance anyway.
edit: there really isn’t much they can do. the only thing that will heal your ankle is staying off of it and time. the problem is making sure everything heals straight, which is where the whole doctors and x-rays problem comes in.
Build one out of logs?
Why not?
:lol: I’m dying!!! 
Because I don’t want to live in a log fucking cabin because I’m too stupid to understand how to use credit properly? What if my wagon breaks an axle and I lose 5 days?!
+karma for oregon trail reference
The problem with that is, he said house’s as in plural. You don’t need to, and they can be taken away if owed money, lean can be put against them etc…what happens if you have cancer and medical bills run in to the hundred of thousands and you have not medical insurance. 1) procedures won’t be done unless someone is getting paid, 2) you can owe it but the money comes from somewhere. I rather sell one of my houses and pay medical for 5-10 years than have an asset i am not using.
LMAO @ Oregon Trail reference, I think my neighbors felt the floor shake
Now that the tears have subsided, isn’t it the rich with the log cabin in the woods?
Neither of us knows who’s name the houses (plural) are in. We also don’t know what he’s doing with them. Maybe he rents one out for cashflow? I dunno.
In the old days they would repossess shit you bought on plastic and didn’t pay for. Now they just write it off and give you a new card at a higher rate. I really believe I was born in the wrong era. I believe in apprenticeships over college, proper income management over living a plastic life etc…
not trying to be an AH but this was hilarious
i have not clue if its in his name or not, or if its for cash flow…but he bitches that the prices for medical are high, he does nothing about insurance to cover the cost which is cheaper, and when he does get treatment for something, he refuses to pay till they settle on the medical side…which is part of the cause why medical treatment is high…aka people skipping out on there bills. So in the end its a circle.
I know medical is not cheap for quite a few reasons. I also feel there should not be health care that the government is trying to push. I am for controlling costs, but i feel that medical insurance is not something that a company should be required to pick up the tab for, its a positive for working for what you put into that company, but the company can offer you a plan though even if you got to pay. I also an against full medical for everyone through the gov’t like canada has. If you don’t have medical i feel that the gov’t can supply to you for a cheap cost that you pay for, but if you have private health care you pay for through your work, you should not have to pay into that system…now as far as people needing assistants for healthcare, food stamps etc…that system needs to revamped first before they even touch the healthcare system, and then add it in as a plan…
sorry for the tangent
and tradersbase, i agree with living inside your means. I live within mine. I don’t buy more than I can afford, only real debt i have is my car and student loans which are cheap interest rate. Most things i pay cash for and if i use a CC its paid off within the month for the most part.
Yeah…that’s pretty much what I did…
And I’ve never had a credit card
On a positive note, my ankle feels much better today. It still hurts like a mofo, but at least I can walk around now. I have to call the Doc later today, we’ll see what he says.
Between giving yourself props about how great of an American you are by not having debt, you better hope you didn’t chip any part of the bones off in your ankle by not having money put aside for a rainy day (as the previous American way was) and going and getting this taken care of. Surgery on your ankle to get any chipped bone out will a) render you useless in your line of work and b) be expensive
