In those cases you'd be deemed "high risk" but go into the high risk pool instead of flat out being denied. You would get limited coverage at best and then for way to much money. The point is that 95% of the health care you consume in your entire life happens in the last five years of your life, an...

You evidently have absolutely NO Idea what the hell you are talking about. I've used several VA hospitals and found them to be no different than private hospitals members of my family have worked at and been patients at. Ask McCain about that! He shares my opinion, as do many americans, including m...

Oh, also why are you talking about government control? Or do you talk about private security forces paid by East India Company, oops, I meant Philip Morris (who will happily help with the distribution of the legalized Opium), that will make sure that the laws regarding the distribution of Opium will...

Skipjack, I completely agree. Everyone knows the US is rent by warlords and lawlessness, the courts quit sitting years ago, and society lost all cohesion in decades past. Define warlords, define lawlessness in this context please. The US has its crime problems and it is fighting wars pretty much co...

After losing two disastrous wars, China was in a state of political collapse, and in no position to control the impact of deliberately cheap opium on an already disillusioned population.

That is it? That is your reason why it would go better in the US than it did in China?
You are being serious?

Legalized at the point of a gun, by the people pushing the opium. After they'd spent years encouraging drug smuggling during prohibition. Ahem, what? Legalized is legalized. Sure the Chinese did not like that the British forced them to legalize it. Those Chinese were not stupid after all, well thos...

I dont know, I would prefer doing all the fighting with drones. They are cheaper than manned planes too.

The British Government was actively supporting opium smuggling to counter the Empire's enormous trade deficit with China, where opium was illegal. Drawing any conclusions about drug legalization from that seems difficult at best. Learn your history! Opium trade was legalized in China after the seco...

You will also want your military and your police not to be in the hands of a private entity. Private entities are open to curruption. Also you might end up with multiple private entities with different agendas and different ideas of what protection means (also called militias). If you want to know h...

I would say, lets have a "non prosecution" policy for marijuana. That does not make it legal, but it wont criminalize users. One could even have some (government controled and taxed) providing of this. However these things need to be monitored closely. If things go out of control, it has to be possi...

I have no interest in looking up the state budgets and compiling them, but since about half of our prison populations exists because of drug convictions, that invalidates that half of their expenditures for law enforcement. This argument is of doubtful validity. I know that a lot of people here are...

For Car insurance, there is a "high risk" pool for clumsy drivers. A series of car accidents doesn't mean you can't get car insurance. Why not something similar for individuals and "pre-existing" condition situations for health care? It's simple, and it has been done before. Because unlike car driv...

Since I don't want to have to get one, I dont engage in risky activities that would expose me to that risk. LOL, neither did I and I ended up with a heart attack at the age of 33. I was not overweight, did not smoke or drink coffee and was doing exercise 3 times a week. The only risk factor that I ...

For what I know the fighter and reconnaissance planes are affected by this as well. In any case it should be easy to fix on the planes and UAVs. It is just a matter of cost. The signals are meant to be viewed by the ground troops via some sort of PDA (I am sorry I am not totally up to date on this p...

And here in the US we have medicare/medicaid. Not everyone is eligible for medicare/medicaid, as you might know. What about someone who is self employed? There are really no people in the US who don't have health care access who intentionally do not pay for it but are able to. Bullshit! I know plen...
