Loved the comment about starting a GoFundMe page that everyone contributes to and everybody's medical bills are paid out of.

Wonder why none of our board Trumpettes are contributing to this thread.

He's a moron. He'll learn nothing from the experience.

 

[BluesDriver66]

Is the irony that he is a young healthy person against universal healthcare then crashes his car and goes begging online to pay his hospital bills? Or is it he named himself Sassy Gay Republican?

As any moron knows one of the reasons to have insurance is to take care of accidents. That is why you MUST have auto insurance. Even a healthy guy can trip over a curb and break his ankle. But if you are an arrogant moron you can't see the future. Sassy Gay Republican sounds like a flavor at a Greenwich Villiage ice cream stand.

The only auto insurance required is to indemnify third parties, not one's self.

Of course, the OP poster, being a leftist, is blind to the massive difference between these two situations, that being choice and accepting the consequences of that choice. Or, if you will, the involuntary nature of Obamacare and the vountary nature of the GFM.

Which, of course, is at the very core of our disagreements nearly across the board.

Technically he is not taking responsibility. He was begging for charity to get him out of medical debt. If he was taking responsibility for his decision, why did he beg for charity?

It seems to be an option to pay for his treatment. Those who wish to contribute, do so. Those who do not, don't. Purely voluntary. No one coerced, like in Obamacare.

So... begging for charity is taking responsibility. Okey dokey.

Next time social safety net programs come up, I think this may be relevant.

So long as I get to contribute to those safety net programs voluntarily, fine. But I suspect you're not willing to agree to that, are you cupcake?

So him taking responsibility is now contingent on how other people choose to act.

You have a mighty interesting definition of taking responsibility, toots.

You're the one using those words, not me. He's still on the hook for his medical bills now, so he's by definition responsible. If others choose to help, that's between the guy and them.

You do understand the difference between voluntary and compulsory, do you not?

You are the one that put it out there.

He is taking personal responsibility for his actions because he is begging for charity and people are voluntarily giving him money. This is what you said.

You don't seem to understand basic tenets of logic. Or behavior. I think it is because you are working too hard to rationalize it. It's pretty simple, the guy F'd up.

I never used the words "personal responsibility," you did.

I'm saying that he's taking the civilized path of asking for voluntary contributions. Those who wish to, may. Those who do not, refrain. Of course, buying insurance is another way to do that, but he didn't take that path, so now he's asking others to help. It's really the same thing, only after the fact rather than before.

What it's not is coercive, which is what you are demanding. Apparently "choice" is only operative in one aspect of your life.

Dude give it up. You snapped at Butters' bait, made a dumbass comment and now are digging in.

The idiot F'd up. And so are you.

No, apparently you do not understand the difference between voluntary and compulsory. Perhaps the difference should be demonstrated on your worthless hide.

So if I buy insurance and the premiums of others pay my bills when I'm sick or injured, how is that any different from me asking those same people to pay when I don't buy insurance and get sick or injured?

Only one: If I wait and ask after, I run the risk that no one will contribute and I'll be stuck with the tab.

That's it.

Prove me wrong.

I feel the same way about STOP signs. They should be completely voluntary. Making them compulsory infringes on my personal freedom.

 

[adrina]

Yup, in your world other people voluntarily helping this guy out is him being responsible.

Totally.
