And yet your insurance covers & pays benefits to millions of other insured people, some of whom may cause way more accidents than you! Same thing with health care: you don't know if you'll ever be hospitalized or get cancer. Other people may get sick more or less often than you. Such is life. So everyone should pay in a certain percentage of their wages/salary, in the same way that everyone has to have liability car insurance.

Rick Santorum would have been a fine President. A principled, decent man willing to listen to both sides of any issue and cogently express his logic. This country has no use for that anymore.

Roger Stone is being played by Heath Ledger.... "You wanna know how I got these scarrrrs?.... Let me just lick my lips a couple more times and I'll tell you."

Santorum's statements on healthcare AVAILABILITY show how out of touch from reality he is. FACT: if you don't have health insurance, you are denied certain preventive coverage which, in the end, IS life saving. Anyone who has been there or has friends or relatives who have been there, knows this. Unregulated health insurance industry means unavailable healthcare to millions. That's what we had before and that is exactly what Santorum and his ilk want us to go back to.

Regulation is a case-by-case basis. There has been a new thing since then, which is opposing the woke and SJWs. Things I'm left-wing on is spending on public transit, especially in big cities. This benefits both transit users and car users as it takes would-be car drivers off the road and alleviates congestion. Another one would be child benefit payments and anything that increases the birth rate - though it should be only made to households that pay taxes so as to not encourage bums to just pop out kids for a living.

Why didn't Bill or Neera call that pile of Santorum out better there at the end? It's always frustrating when the pundits I support shake their heads and roll their eyes instead of debating with facts. Or maybe I'm just frustrated that he got the last word here before Maher called it a night. Medicaid expansion helps tremendously. The issue is that there is still a stigma against those on Medicaid and poorer people still have to go to the ER because they can't necessarily afford the means to get to a primary care doctor for regular care. They are either disabled or working multiple jobs, have kids they prioritize over themselves. To the point where they end up in the ER simply because their ailments are no longer routine but rather emergent. Point being there are many reasons why they still end up in the ER. It's not cut and dry like Santorum tried to make it sound. There's a reason why he was voted out of office. Not like he stepped down on his own accord. Likewise, the free market in terms of health insurance fucks people over regularly because it gives the insurance companies the "freedom" to fuck their customers over. People forget that one of the major reasons healthcare reform was necessary was not simply to provide for the uninsured, but also to stop allowing insurance companies to fuck over their customers, who paid premiums and copays, but were denied because the insurance companies felt like fucking over their clients instead of paying out. Total fuckage. Because "for profit" insurance companies don't work, save to buy the next yacht of an insurance CEO while denying a sick mother's cancer treatment because cancer is a preexisting condition. The average person doesn't have much "freedom" when you read the fine print, if we go back to the way things were. Maybe the freedom to choose which corporation fucks you over. But that's about it. Yet that's what Republicans like Santorum (those still actually in congress, at least) want to go back to. They favor the corporations who own them over their own constituents. People seem to forget just why health insurance reform was absolutely necessary. The Obama administration didn't go far enough because of Republican obstinance. And Republicans want to go backwards now, even though they've more than proven in just a few weeks under Trump that all they could do was say no. Given the ball and an opportunity to step up and lead, only further exposed the Republican ineptitude. It's easy to win elections by talking a big time without having to step up, but the Republicans have more than proven that all they sold us was a bill of goods, or rather a bill of bullshit, or a bill of the frothiest Santorum. Obamacare was a shaky step, in part because the Republicans didn't want to help out, but no one exactly expected it to be smooth early on, either. The clusterfuck that is Washington DC under Trump put out such a joke of a replacement, that Republicans hated it. 7 years to come up with something better and that's what we got? Pathetic.

Does anyone else feel like having a manuscript of speakers talking would help understand what each person is saying?

Jet Black aren't those just search engines? Aren't they getting the info from our service providers now? Just because a search engine doesn't store your data doesn't mean your service provider isn't. Right?

+Fat Acrobat That's true - I was going to suggest a logless VPN - that may thwart your ISP but apparently the CIA/NSA have hacked VPN encryption according to Wikileaks so if they have an interest in your history they can still access it. I'm no hacker but maybe there is an another way to keep your history private.

It was a kneejerk reaction to the one guy saying that there wasn't a search engine site that didn't collect and sell your information.

None of that matters. An ISP can still see every site you go to unless you encrypt all your data flow with a VPN service. We need more tech savvy politicians with the ability to explain how it all works. Tech is the future of everything and most people are illiterate.

Sean John, Santorum is dishonest.

Snowden and Assange are not comparable. Snowden loves his country and wants transparency. Nothing he did was illegal - that's the point of whistleblowers, to point out when government is the one acting illegally.

Roger Stone looks and acts like an older version of Jimmy Two-Times from Goodfellas.

I am a democrat, I'm also fortunate enough to come from a wealthy family. I also come from a family with a member that has serious medical problems. As a democrat I own that Obamacare is re-distribution of wealth, cuz that's a good thing. I'm tired of living in a country where it's every man for himself. I want to live in a world where I can do my fair share to take care of the sick so that other people will do the same for my family when we need it.

Do people not realize how much money preventative screenings save? Or birth control? Or annual check-ups? Or dental cleanings? For almost every single medical condition there is, the earlier you address and treat it, the less expensive it is. If the only healthcare you have is an unaffordable ER, by the time it gets bad enough that you have to actually GO to the ER, not only are you probably dead already, but it's a hell of a lot more expensive too.
