Your main argument is that you get insurance when you get sick. How long does it take to get this insurance? My experience with government healthcare is that it takes time to get approved. Don't say that this a failure of government because it took 3 months before my private insurance kicked in my last job. So my question is, when they kick you out of the hospital, how do you fill your prescriptions if you waited to the last minute to get health insurance? People in this country die because they can't get their prescriptions filled. With a disease like cancer, most treatment is done outpatient. Sometimes to get approval for medicaid it can take 7-14 days, other times it takes 3-6 months. Pharmacies don't give out medicine without insurance or cash.

You never considered this approval window Mr. Schiff, which tells me you know just as little as the people you condemn.

Those "smart" people in Washington are telling you what kind of car they prefer you to drive; when you should buy a new home; what your energy consumption choices should be; what your children should be taught; when, where and if you should use certain drugs and alcohol; when, where and if you can exhibit any display of your religious preference (to the extent you have one); under what restrictions you should be able to hunt on your own property; what rights you have in regard to the decision to maintain or terminate pregnancy; what you are better-off investing in; and on and on….

I sure am glad I am particularly stupid, because that gives my fine dictators a legitimate purpose. For a second there, I had almost believed that I could handle such decisions responsibly and morally on my own.

Health care is neither a good nor a service? Interesting point of view. Completely and utterly wrong, but still interesting, nonetheless.

On a side note, Peter Schiff is an idiot.
