  • but as a single policy-holder there is a good chance they will pay me more then I pay out making it gambling.

    But the risk isn’t health insurance vs gambling. That’s a straw man, as not having health insurance is already gambling, and you’re trying to change the argument because your previous reasoning was shown to be faulty.

    Nice try.

  • I dunno… it’s very popular here. The major issue to consider is the also very popular medical racket to get access to the medical stuff.

    You have to pay a doctor for a prescription (which is basically some performative bullshit so they get to charge a fee), then you have to pay the state a fee. But you can only have a prescription for 7 months before you have to renew, yet you have to renew your state registration every year— each for a separate fee.

  • who claim good told them

    Was this a typo?

  • You’re gambling that there’s someone willing to pay that amount for your labor. The stakes? Your financial security.

  • That’s not how health insurance works. You would never get more than your medical costs and would almost always get less.

  • Since you haven’t proven any of those accusation, this seems just another obvious insult and your inability to use the word “charity” correctly.

    If you get this uncontrollably nasty just because an internet stranger said something that made you mad, perhaps it’s time to go outside for a break. Perhaps enjoy some nice herbal tea.

    Best of luck with your emotional and vocabulary issues.

  • Why is it anyone else’s responsibility to keep them informed?

    Besides, I see information, ads, etc. (not to mention suggestions from my doctor) about various health issues including prostate health. It’s not someone else’s job to care for you as a grown adult.

  • And how’s that? You’re the one who keeps bringing up how “oppressed” men supposedly are while blaming the terrible mean women for it. I sure haven’t seen any of that, and here you are, insisting that the absence of it here is somehow magical proof you’re right, lmao…

  • They are when you bet something on the outcome— ya know, gambling… like how you risk both your financial future and your life when you choose to not have health insurance.

  • A risk assessment is a normal part of gambling. You’re just describing games, like the one you’re playing now to rationalize your gambling with your own life by avoiding getting any sort of health insurance.

  • If that’s the only time you ever hear about it, perhaps that’s suggestive of the types of conversations you have. I’ve never had that problem.

    Or maybe stop listening to all the bullshit that Fox News and Newsmax keep telling you.

  • The only ones dumb enough to fall for this bullshit are the ones who absolutely will, and are not gonna be swayed by any articles, no matter how well written or well reasoned.

  • They’re clearly saying that they won’t accept the results if Trump loses.

  • Strange, as you’ve clearly laid out the odds, risks, etc. and you’re betting your life on your supposed “beliefs”.

    Sure sounds like gambling to me…

  • Frankly, babies are delicious with either. Since you’re using them as dipping sauces, why not get both?

  • I’m willing to bet that insects have far better morals.

  • Just because you personally aren’t hearing about it doesn’t mean people aren’t talking about it.

  • Well, now, I suppose that depends on the issue. I’ve openly discussed and raised awareness for prostate cancer before and haven’t run into this problem.

    Perhaps it’s your approach… or the specific issues you’re raising?
