Nope,
the data are from cdc, but the study ,thus the estimate, has been done by Harvard medical school based on that data.
For your info : (Harvard) "assessed death rates after taking into account education, income, and many other factors, including smoking, drinking, and obesity. It estimated that lack of health insurance causes 44,789 excess deaths annually."

Where's the limit to how much taxes we should pay? I already pay over half my income in taxes. I presume that you'll grant that the limit should be less than 100%. Can you narrow down the range a little more? How much is enough?
You are doing enough already.
Unfortunately not everybody is, the Keynesian theory has been put into practice and the only thing that has produced is a huge speculative bubble
and no infrastructure and services.

it is immoral to stack up a profit based on the hope that someone else gets ill.
in many countries (japan comes to mind) this insurance business is not allowed to be traded in the stock market basically for this reason.

Ok ok..., I'll take it back; maybe you have just been rude. But ,that's ok. I was under the impression that you would not have said the same if my name was Joe Green.

My idea is that isurance companies have an immoral bussiness model because their need to increase their profit can only be fulfilled by dening coverage and increasing premiums. They are not like any other company that creates value
and contributes to the economic growth. They only disrupt the average american family.
In other capitalistic countries these companies are not traded in the stock market.

No it is not morally appropriate.

<<
Where do YOU draw the line, Luca?>>>
I don't want to extend the discussion on fiscal policies, that was not my goal. My goal is to draw attention
on the morality on how health care is carried out. Which is something that has to be discussed.

Ok, I understand that now. I am SORRY for having said that you are a racist: you are not. Sorry again.

The budget is 65% Medicare plus Social security plus medicaid plus interset on the debt. The remaing 35% is , I think, equally devided into defense and some other form of spending (infrastructure and the like).
There was a surplus in the bagdet at some point right?
Cash flow has been wildely positive for social security in the last decade, that has created a surplus that now is gone
for reasons other than social spending. Right?






<<>>
I disagree.

<<
1) First, they'll get HAMMERED at the polls in 2010>>>

They would get hammered anyway, they have not been consistent never in any form of agreement.
They deserve that and it will be good for them. Iam going to be sorry though.

<<<2) If they are hammered ENOUGH to Over-ride a Presidential Veto, it will be 100% repealed in January 2011>>>
Ver very unlikely. If that happens America has no hope of being run by other things than massive lobbying.

<<<3) If they are NOT hammered ENOUGH to over-ride a veto (which'll be hard in the Senate, but not impossible), it'll get tied up in the courts until the 2012 election, when OBAMA will get HAMMERED out of office...>>>
not a chance

Look... nobody taught me to argue. I have my arguments you have yours.

Calling Dave a racist was a mistake of mine, I called him like that because his attitude pi##ed me off, not because somebody taught me.
My argument is the morality of the healthcare business; just for once try to think what is right
as opposed to think what is convenient.

As far as the Columbus stuff goes Columbus day is not a very loved festivity isn't it?

Social security is an agreement between generations, a ponzi scheme is a financial
scam done for the profit of whoever starts it. There is a big difference.

The mechanism of social security insures the retiree an income, regardless of market fluctuations.
