Pro-Life Legislation Is Working

by Sen. Eric Johnson on October 13, 2007

Rarely do we look back and analyze the effects of the laws we pass. Recently, I was given some incredible information that I wanted to pass along. After a long and controversial legislative battle, the Georgia General assembly finally passed the Woman

Doesn’t Mandatory Pay Coverage sounds like part of a Health Care Plan Al Franken would campaign on.

Mandatory Pay Coverage has never been supported by the GOP until this decade. John Konop stance on Health Care is no Different From George W. Bush stance on Civil Liberties. It’s nothing but Government.

Jason,

You avoid the truth that you are a socialist when it fits your needs. And you point fingers at others with righteous tone, when at the end you should look in the mirror.

Face your hero Rand with her

Jason,

Face it your hero Rand with her

Come on John Neo-Con Konop quit the Ron Paul and Libertarian Bashing. Your starting to Sound like Bill O’Reily

So what If I believe the Federal Government should not be involved in imposing more regulations on or discouraging Abortion entirely. The women’s right to choose should be between the women and her doctor. On Health Care I believe in a system based on the individual needs, not mandatory coverage policies. Why would single man need pre-natal coverage. most of the current coverage mandatories in a insurance policy waste the individual policy holder’s and insurer’s money. I am a true Independent, Not LP member or any third party that may have similar issue stances like Me.

You would be the first to call me a NEOCON.

I am a pragmatist that believes in God.

Once again you avoid the questions I’ve asked. Instead you focus on something that happened almost ten years ago and throw in a pointless hypothetical.

Put up or shut up, Konop.

I did answer your question.

The problem is clear people like you are too irresponsible to understand when you do not buy health coverage that you are using tax payers as an emergency plan. Also if you buy a policy without proper coverage tax payers are still on the hook.

At the end we either make you pay or let you die if you do not have the money. I think like car insurance we must force you to be responsible person even if you cannot understand the concept.

Is this a perfect situation? No it is not perfect, yet what else can we do with people like you who free load off the system and do not get it?

As far as people who cannot afford it, they need preventive medicine which keeps them healthier and saves tax payers money. They also must contribute what they can afford.

This could be private or public, yet it must happen.

Jason,

The sad part is atheist economic worshipers like you who believe in

I think like car insurance we must force you to be responsible person even if you cannot understand the concept.

As I’ve already pointed out, a mandate doesn’t not mean that someone will take coverage. Twenty-five percent of drivers in California don’t have coverage and they have a mandate to have car insurance. That kind of throws this whole idea out the window and it leads down the road to socialized medicine.

At the end we either make you pay or let you die if you do not have the money.

That is way over the top.

Is this a perfect situation? No it is not perfect, yet what else can we do with people like you who free load off the system and do not get it?

Here we go again…I paid my bill. I did not “freeload.”

The problem is clear people like you are too irresponsible to understand when you do not buy health coverage that you are using tax payers as an emergency plan.

Again, Konop…30% of the insured can’t pay their bills.

Jason,

Let me help you understand business. As more people pay nothing or do what you did and op-out for a while you drive up the price for everyone else. In the business world you would just loose the revenue you would not have to keep providing the service. The problem gets worse because people who do not pay or have bad insurance use the most expensive way to deliver healthcare ie emergency rooms and no preventive medicine at tax payers expense. This is a business model guaranteed not to work and punishes people who play by the rules.

Also the fastest growing groups of free loaders are people like you who think you are taking the risk when at the end you were gambling with tax payer

Jason Pye October 16, 2007 at 8:13 am

Let me help you understand business. As more people pay nothing or do what you did and op-out for a while you drive up the price for everyone else.

Government intervention in the market, like what you want, is what drives up cost for everyone else.

Health insurance is a commodity, it is not a right.

You keep proofing my point why we need to force people like you to pay because you do not get that you are being irresponsible.

You are such a fool, Konop. You keep going on about this. But Ive already proved to that health insurance does not mean an individual has the ability to pay.

John Konop October 16, 2007 at 8:29 am

Jason,

Nice talking points now let’s deal with facts!

1) If people pay nothing and still get the service that is a double loss.

2) Preventive medicine and not using the emergency room as primary care saves $1 vs, $10.

3) If people cannot afford it they must pay something to off-set the cost.

4) People like you do not understand that when you did not pay for heath coverage someone in your statistical pool did get an expensive illness and left tax payers with the bill. That is what I meant when I said you are gambling on tax payer
