So confused about the mega hate on the healthcare bill.

I really don't get what all the hate is about, like i know most people hate change, but the extent I'm seeing people going is kind of mind boggling. I can understand their point about not wanting to force individuals into buying health care, but aside from that what else is there?

On the flip side, the private health care seems to be making profits through the roof and won't let anyone who actually is in need of health care (anyone that is sick) get health care.

So yea... my real question is: Why do people hate the health care so much when its seems to me to just be introducing morality into the healthcare system? Can someone enlighten me?

Gotta agree with pstall here.

I hate this bill in a weird way. Removing the public option renders the mandatory healthcare as tyrannical. The mandate is borderline un-constitutional to begin with.

You can talk up the positives all you want, and on their own merit they are fantastic ideas from a personal standpoint, but having to take the good with the bad is a pretty hard pill to swallow.

I agree, the public option was the way to go.

I could really draw the corallarys between education and this bill based on the public option. Damn republicans.

Wait, this is the lounge....how do you guys feel about "Crossroads", arguably the greatest Ralph Macchio fim ever made and the only movie where Steve Vai outplays himself on guitar?

lol, i didnt realize the tinderbox was for politics, i just thought that the lounge was for everything off-topic. I went into the tinderbox and HOLY poo, its like a conservative orgy in there. I don't see one calm view, its all racial bigotry in there. I like to hear both sides but damn its like the right side is yelling the n word at everything ne1 says and the left side is trying to explain it rationally. Pretty pointless to even try to understand why people dont like it if i were to go to the tinderbox first.

on the flip side, i like what pstall has to say, now i understand more clearly, its not that people dont hate the morality of reform, they hate how this bill is assigned, but why did they hate the original bill that had the public option when this one without the public option passed neways is my new question.

The public option means, essentially, that the government is forcing me to care about you, which it shouldn't be able to do. There are a vast number of arguements to make beyond that, but they all boil down to that central idea.

And that is politics. Welcome to the tinderbox - the only cost is your soul.

Thats enough for most people. Giving the Gov pressident (sp) to force you to be buy anything is dangerous ground.

On the flip side, the private health care seems to be making profits through the roof and won't let anyone who actually is in need of health care (anyone that is sick) get health care.
2-5% profit margins for health insurer's. Compare that to drug companies. Also their is a difference in pre-existing conditions.

So yea... my real question is: Why do people hate the health care so much when its seems to me to just be introducing morality into the healthcare system? Can someone enlighten me?

It's a much deeper issue than what you are giving it credit for.

Both sides are represented in there. Also please show me where you see some "racial bigotry"? Me thinks you have a hard time seeing 2 sides of issues :)

I would like to see some examples of what you claim as well... there's some far-out sh*t and stupid posts in the tinderbox and there have been examples of childishness, name calling, etc, but on the whole I don't see "racial bigotry" at all. If there were, the mods would be all over it and others would be calling those posters out.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
