Slate: "The Ryan proposal compels Americans to buy insurance—just like Obamacare does."

[Greg]

It always looked sarcastic to me.

When I was growing up, my father and family were covered by Army medicine, which was not great, but was free. Think no-frills HMO. Then Ronald Reagan came along, declared the contract the US had always honored with its underpaid military an "entitlement program" and "welfare," and changed it to a voucher system except for the service member him- or herself, who can use military facilities. Now soldiers, sailors and airmen are still underpaid but have the privilege of paying through the nose for Tricare at private hospitals. Raw deal.

It doesn't matter what i say here, I always seem to somehow get called out.

To say that because I may be comfortable in my current "Medicare" state and have no concern for the fate of the younger generations smacks of some preconceived judgmental opinion you have if me, rgG. I am not heartless. Geeez.

Preconceived? Maybe she read this and it stuck with her:

Dennis: It shouldn't really matter to you, since you already have guaranteed social health insurance for life.

swampy: Assumptions and presumptions, Dennis. You don't have a clue what I care about.

Dennis: I know you don't care about almost 50 million people and their families.

swampy: You're right, Dennis. I don't give a flying fark.
You think you might be interpreting her answer just a little too literally there Dennis? kj.
I'm just stating what she wrote.

...as an example of her heartlessness. Come on, be honest. kj.

Dennis was condescending; Swampy was appropriately sarcastic.

I'm going to play Civ 5, now.
