#142I said the following:
Will you still feel the same way when these democrats exempt themselves and their families from the plan they just passed?
Will you abandon your useless democratic party if they do indeed decide to exempt themselves from this legislation or you are you too blind and stupid to commit to it?
Sure, voting instead to not give any insurance to the 30 Million uninsured Americans is the neocon way.
DaggerKobe, why do you always divert the subject matter into your own agenda of bias?
That is EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID HERE.Comment -

#143Matchbook allows their customers access to every single bet they have placed dating back to when the site initially went online with the click of a mouse.
If you're really serious about doing this, lets do it for something meaningful.
Are you willing to back up that big mouth of yours?
Put up $10,000. I want to not only destroy you but bankrupt you.Comment -

No one is more biased than you. Look at your neonitwit friends.... posting chain letters and ultra neocon websites as "fact" yet not a peep out of you.
I actually got unbiased sources on my side. Do you? Didnt think so.Comment -

#145Forget posting privileges. We both know you have more than 1 account. And will post with others when you lose. Put up $10,000 at Matchbook and we can pick until the end of March Madness and I'll destroy you just as Ive destroyed you in politics.
Destroyed me in politics? How old are you? Am I dealing with an 18 year old here?
The democratic party has always been the party of FAILURE and its right where you belong.
Indeed, I do have many accounts so if you are willing to back up that big mouth of yours with action, it will only involve bets placed at Matchbook.
I am very interested in any sort of contest you want to put together and am willing to agree to any terms you see fit.
However, the contest would have to include a permanent banishment from this forum or a large wager or both and we would have to figure out a way where we can both post up funds as I trust your word about as far as I can sling a piano.
If Lou or Bill Dozer would agree to hold the stakes, I would trust either of them to oversee this contest.
Lets make it happen.Comment -

#147You have to remember that this is the Republicans we are talking about here. Health Care Reform to the Republicans is not that big of a problem it seems like to them. They would rather see the normal people suffer while the leaders of these health insurance companies get huge bonuses and making huge profits.
what's the profit margin for health insurance companies? care to guess?Comment -

#148DaggerKobe, I'm done discussing politics with you as there is no point in it.
Lets concentrate on figuring out a way to make this Matchbook contest happen.
Is $10,000 your limit?
We would need someone here at SBR to assist us and I would be willing to pay whatever fee they feel is fair to oversee things.
Are you willing to do the same?Comment -

I am all set to do this and am willing to go far beyond $10,000.
We would start say January 1st and end March 31st and all bets at Matchbook would count for the contest and the winner would be the one who makes more money in strict dollar terms.
We would need some sort of neutral party to hold the funds wagered between us as well as check both our Matchbook accounts to determine the winner.
I am ready to do this and its time to back up that big mouth of yours with action.Comment -

#154DK,
I don't wager serious money on regular pre-game betting.
99% of my betting consists of live-game wagering along with futures.
The contest I was talking about would be which one of us makes more money betting at Matchbook over say a 3 month period.
Every single wager made at Matchbook is logged and easy to retrieve.
I want to bet a fixed amount with you and would be willing to wager any amount you can afford.
You can select any time period you wish as long as its reasonable and the winner of our wager is the one who makes the most money betting at Matchbook during the time period selected.
Since neither one of us will know how the other is doing, theres no need to worry about altering bets at the end of the contest.
The only thing we would have to figure out is to find someone we both trust to hold our stakes. As I said, there are a couple of people I know right here at SBR but I'm not sure if they would be willing to participate in a betting contest between us.Comment -

Consider the administrative costs. Think somebody here mentioned about the vacation they get from the premiums. You got accountants, lawyers, advertising, everybody taking a slice. Profit margin is mostly irrelevant. And for what? Non of it treats anybody.
A better question would be how much of the premiums go to pay for medicine? I'd guess 20% would be a high estimate.bird bird da bird's da wordComment -

#159Hello Dwight,
Someone from the republican party needs to put the democrats on record regarding this socialized health care legislation.
They need to go on the public airwaves and ask Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama the following question:
Will you promise the American people you will NOT exempt yourselves and your families from this legislation?
Of course, these lying hypocrite bastard democrats will try and skirt around the question without answering it so its important the pressure is kept on them.
It then should be said that if this wonderful plan is good enough for American citizens, then it should be good enough for you and your family?
If enough pressure is put on these filthy bastard democrats, perhaps they might rethink what they are doing as you know they have no plans of subjecting their loved ones to the low quality medical care their plan is sure to provide.Comment -

I'm done wasting my time with you.
I'm sure you'll continue to update your betting results daily as everyone on this forum is losing sleep waiting to see how your picks have done, LOL.

#161Andy,
As usual, you are right and bring a common sense logical point of view to the discussion.
Is there anywhere in your constitution that says an individual MUST purchase something or be fined by the government? I didn't think so. I guess that darn pesky 'constitution' just gets in the way.
Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Barack Obama are disgraces to the United States of America.
Just the simple arrogance of Obama giving himself a B+ last week in a TV interview shows how out of touch he is with reality. Classless.
If some reporter asked Bush the same question, I bet you anything he would respectfully decline to give himself a grade even when his poles were in the high 80's.Comment -

20% seems really low to me with the high cost of health care, but i don't have a clue what the number is. you may be right. but that should be a criticism of the system, not the insurance company. insurance companies are in business to make money, just like any other business. and if they have to spend money to lobby congress, to meet state regulations, and have an excess of lawyers and accountants to protect them, that's not their fault. i'm sure they would much rather keep it simple and focus on selling their service to more people by offering a lower price than the competition. but wait there is little to no true competition because of government interference. there is no profit motive to lower operation costs because there is little profit to be made in selling health insurance. that is unless you can get in bed with government and control the market and bring in that 3-4% for your share holders.
the problem with our health care system is it's based on a 3rd party payer system, there are no market forces on health care prices, and insurance is not used as insurance but as a health payment plan. also health insurance policies are not owned by the individuals that use them, they are owned by their employers or the government.Comment -

#165They aren't exempt. And the insurance plans they receive cost $15k/yr, while the tax only applies to those that are $23k/yr or higher.
If the plan is anywhere near as good as the democrats claim, they should have no objection to doing this.

#166The problem with our health care system is nobody knows what they're paying for. If I'm a doctor I'm making you get 5 unnecessary tests, because it makes me more money and the patient has no clue what they need or dont need.
The whole system of employers paying for health insurance is bunk. 90% of people on this board that get insurance through their employer couldn't even say how much their plan costs per year. When people start realizing how much things cost, they might start to actually take care of their health.[B][B]They key isn't getting rich quick. The key is getting rich slowly, and enjoying it.

#168The citizens of the United States of America should INSIST that the democrats shoving this plan down our throats be forced to convert their $15,000/yr taxpayer funded medical insurance plan to the exact plan the rest of us are going to get through the legislation.

andy the wacko and backpeddling weasel is the biggest MORON on the site. He slings lies like a monkey slinging feces hoping no one fact checks them. Unfortunately for him, I do. When confronted with FACTS the loser uses straw-man arguments.
Here are some examples:
When confronted with FACTS that Dumbya went golfing and a month long vacation after being warned that al Qaeda planned to hijack planes, andy the wacko claimed ACLU wouldve been upset had Dumbya done anything. Have you heard of such non-sequitur nonsense?
Just thought I'd warn you.Comment -
