Hey Conservatives, which would you choose?

[LJ_Reloaded]

Of course we know Conservatives never give straightforward answers to questions like this. But hey why not try?

Your kid needs a liver transplant. Your insurer is Cigna. Doctors say this could save your child's life, and there's an available liver. Cigna has turned down your liver transplant coverage because it's "experimental". (Note: Cigna has actually killed a teenaged girl by doing exactly this.)

Here comes the taxpayer-funded nanny state. They're offering to cover your kid's transplant. As you can imagine, someone had to pay taxes to cover this.

Would you rely on the government to save your child's life? Or would you stick to your principles of Capitalism and the Free Market? Which is more important?

Have you stopped beating your spouse, Pat?

What an excellent example of the fallacy of the false dilemma!

So, either government insurance is great or private insurance is great...? Did you ever consider, perhaps, neither type of insurance is great? Of course not but why? Because it would diminish that warm glow you got by asserting a decidedly subjective yet feel good position. Rephrase the question so that it reflects the reality in which the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or one.

Okay super genius what's option #3 for paying for that liver transplant? Or did you think that part out while you were frothing and seething at your inability to answer the question.

You can shut the fuck up now.

They can have mine.

That's how a diminished warm glow adversely impacts a subjective yet feel good position. Censorship is a necessary trait of a tyrant, is it not?

As requested, though, please rephrase the question so that it reflects the reality in which the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or one.

It's phrased just fine now. You don't like the question and won't really explain why though it's easy enough to figure out why.

My question does reflect reality.

You cannot, will not show why it doesn't.

We're fucking done here with you, you chickenshit coward.

Option #3: hold a fund-raiser to pay for it. Happens all the time.

Next stupid question?
