Are you that far gone that you haven't the slightest as to what vid is talking about?
The context of a sentence helps.
Does he have to say "a certain level of healthcare"?
Have you become so conditioned by the media to accept such sloppy use of language you can't tell the difference?
Would you put your pants on backward and expect no one to notice?
Do you shave only the left side of your face?
Denied means
you don't get any.
It's like, if someone offers you a beer, and you say, "no, thanks" you still expect a beer?
You make an excuse that this kind of shit is acceptable?
And you call
me a sheep?
You can't take pedantry yet you exhibit it.
I know folk that don't have healthcare* and are not denied it.
They don't bother 'cause they don't have healthcare* and can't afford it. Unless they have a gunshot wound, the rash on their stomach won't get them to a doctor.
Once you have been denied or are told by others you will be denied, the gunshot wound will be the only thing making the trip worthwhile.
If someone is told it cost x amount of $ then they can't pay for it.
*healthcare insurance for the pedantic

Correct.
Please remember I said that, so you can remind Busyman when the need arises.
He confides that you are his exclusive source for everything he doesn't shop for.
Ha! You mean "you aren't" the source. There's a boatload that I hear about first on here (not just from vid) that I hadn't heard otherwise.
Plus what vid said was already known. He reworded it for the pedantic.
You haven't :O NEWFLASHED:O me. Mmk?

Hmmm.
I've been a member for 3+ years, hanging out almost exclusively in here or the Lounge, and I'd be willing to bet I've used the words pedant, pedantic, pedantry, or any other variants precisely...well, never.
I must have known you'd adopt it as your own, for use as invective.
I've heard it is only applicable to honkies.

I might not ever use it again either. :snooty:

Correct.
Actually rebublicans are pushing for social healthcare, they just don't want their right wing base to know. ;)
I can't believe you are not aware of this :unsure:

The knock on (or as rebublicans say "trickle down") consequence of inaction.
It may not be intentional but the policy pushes towards it

To the extent any effort exists, it doesn't matter, as long as the Dems can stand in it's way.
They truly believe they cannot be seen to support any Republican idea, no matter what.

Hmm yet the only bi-partisan thing republicans want to have is to try to implicate democrats in republican scandals:rolleyes:

I think you posted as I was explaining. By having no policy while more and more people are finding themselves unable to afford private health insurance and more companies are either reducing cover, reducing company payments or not providing health insurance at all, more and more are forced into state schemes.
Hence republican policy is driving towards state run healthcare ;)

...and I know I'd rather have that than the healthcare I have now.
I would have had my knee surgered much better methinks.
In 2008 when our contract is up there will be a bitter fight.
