As a 32 year old, I've already shipped off over 50k to these mega corps black hole of rentier death. That needs to stop. Instead, the dems want to assure that over the next 40 years, that I ship off another half a million in lost wages to these wholly unnecessary assholes.
Get fucked you dumb motherfuckers
As a 32 year old, you don't know anything yet, and don't know it. Life has a way of showing you.
I know one thing is for certain, I'm getting absolutely RAPED on how much I (am now forced to pay) for private health insurance.
And sorry, your prying for an emotional guilt trip won't work on me. I'm too smart for that. But go right on ahead wishing something bad to happen to me, to prove me otherwise. Ill fight to the grave to make sure I never use any of the horseshit you's allow to be passed off as "healthcare".

I agree with you that a lot of western - especially US - healthcare is fucked up. Most of the blame for this falls on the massive pharmaceutical industry. The food industry comes in a close second. But to write off all US healthcare as horseshit betrays your claim of being smart. It's reactionary and wrong. When I was your age I never went to the doctor but still had insurance with a 5000k deductible. Emergency care was not limited by the deductible, which was something I needed on occasion.

So my question to all those who support this so-called "reform", is how is it ethical to screw over one generation in favor of another? Especially when the generation being screwed over has already been screwed by
- obscene housing costs
- exponentially increasing college costs
- extremely high joblessness after earning degrees
and the generation being subsidized has already benefited from
- the greatest appreciation in stocks and housing in U.S. history
- the best job markets
- pensions and social security
I fail to see the ethics in forcing 20-somethings to subsidize the very 60-somethings keeping them out of jobs and houses.
If the individual mandate is necessary, all insurance policies should be grouped by 5-year age brackets, and no age bracket should be allowed to take from another age bracket. This is only ethical. And if this were applied, the cost of health insurance for the 20-somethings and early 30-somethings would have gone done, not up, after the individual mandate.
