Community based non-profit groups do not have the power to levy taxes. Therefore the poor will go without emergency medical treatment under a Libertarian regime.

You assume no one will contribute. You would prefer theft and force?

Not paying taxes for life saving emergency medical treatment is theft.

I suppose I'll take whoever can hang in there eight years and do well enough that either 1) the next elected president is an R or, 2) that the D elected after them only lasts four years before another R takes office for another eight.

Anything short of that is a fail in my books.

You have a weird definition of theft if not wanting to give away your own money is theft.

Letting innocent poor people bleed to death in emergency rooms so that you can finance a tax break for the rich is theft in my book.

Likely not enough would contribute.

Yes, I prefer theft and force. I prefer stringing up stingy misers upside down by the balls and taking their cash.

There's no such thing as a doctor doing that, they have hypocratic oath. At worst if it happens from ER backup - congrats, you're seeing a wonderful preview of what government triage care will look like.

What you do have, which is quite problematic, are people getting diagnosed with type II diabetes or cancer where the cost of the treatment robs them of house, home, and life savings to where some would rather just find a sufficiently tall bridge or building to speed their exit so that their children and grandkids receive something other than big debts. THAT is a real problem that we need to address as a country.

There was time not many decades ago when people were turned away from hospitals because they couldn't pay.
And I seriously hope you're not suggesting suicide is a valid alternative to draining the family's inheritance. Plus, I don't think life insurance policies pay out in cases of self inflicted death.

Wasn't talking about life insurance, just doctors bleeding people who planned ahead dry and putting them in a position where they themselves see suicide as prefereable. I think that's a really f'd up phenomenon, just like any medication driving its recipient into poverty.

Most do, if the policy has been in force for at least 2 years.

An exception may be accidental death only policies.

Actually he is. He also decided he was going to attempt to hijack Ron Paul's long standing platform to pass off as his own but his track record proves otherwise.

Voted Inu Yasha; Elmer Fudd would have much more NRA support, but Inu Yasha's far more war-minded. His half-human status also gives him an ethnic edge.

Inuyasha is certainly the most staunchly conservative of the lot, and about as whacky as Mrs Backmann. No wonder he's getting so many votes.

Maybe we could get some funds from the Colbert SuperPac.
