So healthy people pay lower premiums? Does it escalate immediately if you get sick - any illness - or only when you need chronic treatment? So people pay insurance companies for their chronic treatment? How does that work? There seems to be a very vague separation between hospitals and...

Sure, I did not dispute that at all. That is as obvious as saying butcheries don't make money on vegetarians. But we are talking about insurance companies, who (I assumed - perhaps mistakenly?) take a premium every month, and then pay these for profit hospitals when the clients needs them to...

Think about it this way - The insurance company wants your premium for as long as possible. Therefor, they want you to live as long as possible. They also want you to claim as little as possible - ie. They want to minimize the cost and duration of your treatment. So it is in their financial...

I don't know your laws, so I won't comment on that. However, If my 6-year-old called 911, I would want to the police to do whatever it takes to get to her, to make sure she's ok, even if that broke some laws. If there was an intruder in your house who knocked you out, and who then found your...

It won't, but it probably will reduce abortion rates among adult women, since it will make it more doable for more of them to keep the baby, should they get pregnant.

So attempting to commit a crime is not illegal, as long as you fail? In that case, they should immediately pardon everyone ever convicted of "Attempted murder"...

Cyber-bullying, name-calling and personal insults unrelated to the disagreement is being "hard on iniquity"? Canceling the health insurance of a severely disabled baby after promising to pay for all his medical expenses, because said baby's parents offended him, is being "kind and gentle"...

Matthew 7:60. Does Trump bear the fruit of a Christian? Does he show "love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control" as per Galatians 5:22-23? Does he ever show humility? Turn the other cheek? Talk about God and faith except in a scripted speech...

How, in any democracy, can anyone even contemplate giving any politician / political party a complete list of voter information? How? Are you just expected to trust them to not use that list to manipulate the elections? Surely one of the most important components of free and fair elections, is...

So people who were born with congenital disorders should just die (they should have been more responsible, and bought insurance in the womb)? What about people who developed something like diabetes or asthma as children? Should they have used their pocket money to buy insurance in kindergarten...

No. What in my post made you think that? I'm glad that the allegations against him are being taken seriously and that he is being charged and will be tried, so that we can find out for sure if he is guilty and deal with it appropriately if he is. Of course he should have a fair trial, and of...

This one of the reasons why I refuse to discuss my family planning decisions with anyone outside my immediate family and the circle of my closest friends. Very few people can respect decisions re. family planning that differ from theirs. It's not my job to convince anyone else that my decisions...

Good. It's about time the Church stopped covering up / condoning / enabling* sexual abuse of children by clergy. * In this context there is very little difference between these three.

I refused to click on the link to their site and give them more traffic, but what you describe is exactly what I expected. Only radical anti-feminists who are looking for reasons to justify their hatred, would be able to imagine that this is a main-stream, or even a vaguely acceptable position...

The joke is ABOUT the bombing. :rolleyes: I would not have found it funny 2 weeks ago because without the reference to the bombing fatalities in the first sentence, it would just have been just another pointless and extremely juvenile reference to almost dying due to bad music, like 50% of the...
