    So much win in this post. It's so fucking simple and lost on people for some reason.

    Yeah, when you think of it, there is a market for people to open emergency care clinics to stitch up kids, fix cut figures, the low end normal trauma care stuff and
    compete with these Hospital very high cost ER's. Perhaps some legislation is needed to make it possible, but it doesn't take a Doctor to do; stitches, pump tummies, and clean and bandage.
    Some dam good wages to be had here and probably the only way we get some competition. Damn, Tax payers can't create more tax supported hospitals just to compete!

    As things are now you could stand outside a hospital room and sell an aspirin for 40 bucks and still undercut the hospital. The whole system is flawed. The legal system doesn't help.

    I see commercials for lawyers who want you to sue manufacturers of life saving equipment that fails. It isn't negligence it doesn't seem, just for something unforseen that happens that hurts you. Even if 50 years ago you'd have just died without it.

    Those things exist already. Maybe not in Bandon, but there are a couple within walking distance of my house.

    If they did something wrong or should have known something might happen, fine. If you're just suing because of the outcome then you're an asshole.

    Planned Parenthood won't go away.

    Another silly scaremongering tweet.

    In typical Denny fashion, you avoid addressing the point. You said "people don't like paying for abortion" as a reason for defunding PP. No federal money goes to fund abortion, because of the Hyde Amendment. So an opposition to "paying for abortion" is irrelevant to defunding Planned Parenthood. Whether or not you exchanged letters with him is a total red herring.

    In typical rasta fashion, your tweets are lies.

    2/3 of Planned Parenthood's funding doesn't come from the government. People will donate more, those who care.

    It's impossible to separate where the money goes. It's all green.

    And I don't favor funding it, period, with government money. Abortion or not. It's not its job.

    Texas is a disgrace. But the link between Planned Parenthood funding and Texas laws is beyond a stretch.

    Oh, what part? What tweet?

    You could say that about anything. Why pay for the roads? If people want them, they'll pay for them. Why pay for an army? Rich people will start a charity army. Thing is, why rely on the whims of wealthy people to help out the poor? Why not think of a nation's job as to provide for its unfortunates so they don't have to hope for charity?

    Why are you so fond of meaningless slogans?

    If you took a drug your Dr. told you was safe and it turns out to give you cancer, and the pharmaceutical company knew that that was a possible side-effect, you would be happy to find that lawyer who wants to help you.

    Fine. Not a tweet, a biased article.

    I dont want to fund much of anything. The highways were a stretch when they were built. It was passed off as a military project to get public approval.

    Why are you so fond of fearmongering and butt hurt media people and noname twitterers?

    We agree on something for a rare change. It's exactly the civil court's role to remedy that kind of thing.

    I will assume you mean "it is not the Government's job to provide healthcare". I, and the people of the vast majority of the developed world, disagree. In fact, that seems like a very shortsighted and selfish view of the entitled. "I'm all right, jack, so screw the poor!"

    Says the guy whose idea of an unbiased source is "Real Clear Politics"

    You should consider moving to Kansas. You should find it a paradise. They're saving so much money they have to cut the school year short because they can't pay the teachers! (Screw them, anyway - if they were any good they'd be in the private sector.)
