    What about forcibly extracting funds for healthcare insurance?

    I prefer a single payer system without health insurance and such.

    You mean the assault to my liberty, the one thing that Obabamacare changes forever? The rest of
    Obamacare is politics and noise, depending on what side one is on. But that "tax" for being a citizen residing on US grounds is pretty astonishing to me still as I think about it. And
    I don't mean "astonishing" in a good way.

    And where does the money come from to fund that single-payer system?

    Now, now bae, you've been here long enough to know that it's free.

    I thought we had all decided that you were the single-payer :-)

    My uterus is an organ in my body. So is my kidney. If you, a fully adult human needed a kidney or you would die, and if my kidney were the only match in the world, I could refuse to give you my kidney. I would not even need a reason.

    Same goes for my uterus and any other organism. It's mine, and I have the right to refuse service. To anyone.

    They do, but I do not see many businesses have their morals listed in their mission statements. Those that I have seen, generally have some sort of a religious basis to them (either hiring from a denomination, funded by a religious organization, started by someone with very specific beliefs and not a public corporation, etc). Those that are public, while they might have a code of conduct, a lot of that is based on laws of the land, but the morals they are following, could be as fluid as their CEO/board of directors.

    Didn't realize how far this would get off the topic, or how many pages I would have to catch up through, then decide to avoid........
