Because your healthcare system sucks and doesn't look appealing either.

We can have our crappy system or your system and it seems Americans prefer ours.

How totally awful that guy is actually making money. How dare he!

Everyone should get paid the same and have zero ambition as a result. Isn't that what you liberals are all about?

What the hell was that all about? Look free enterprise is all fine and good but doesn't something seem outta' whack when the nations wealthiest only constitute something like 1%? I think it's pretty fair to say that there is some room for change in the health care system. Or do you feel that only the wealthy should be entitled to live on with the benefit of modern medicine? Do those that are too poor to afford things like chemo-therapy or major surgery simply just have to die? I don't really think American Democracy would collapse into communism just by reforming health care. Come on dude, lighten up a little.

Please tell me you were being sarcastic.

One hundred and twenty-five million dollars. To just ONE guy. At ONE HMO. In ONE year.

Would you please shut the f*ck up with your anti-liberal bullsh*it. God damn, you're like a broken record.

There is a problem with the health care in this country. Either attempt to be a part of figuring out the solution, or sit on the sidelines and keep to your mypoic self. I don't care which one you choose.

Just choose.

What brilliant solutions should I have countered to my own? All I saw was a socialist complaining about how a person is making money.

The whole solution is in stopping the lawyers and the Democrats they pay off.

Here's an idea: pull your head out of your ass.

Gosh, we should make it against the law to make so much money!!

If you don't like it, don't be part of that HMO in any way.
I'm sorry, that would require responsiblity.

I'm more than happy to see American democracy collapse because Americans shouldn't have it. It is people like you and comments like these that reinforce my belief in what the US forefathers had in mind, not the joke of a government we have today.

Why don't you look into what the nation's wealthiest are paying proportionately. Most importantly, what they do with their money. There is nothing like trying to take money from investors and whining about employment.

Hey! While you're at it, please preach on about how "trickle down economics" really does work!

Once again: be a part of the solution or shut up.

The liberal economic system, however, is brilliant. You take money from investors, funnel it into healthcare and then give it to the lawyers.

So much production there!

Dude, seriously...
People like me? How do you have any insight as to what kind of person I am? So you're content to see America's collapse simply because there are some people you don't agree with? Some one has territorial issues...
So, you're insight into American History holds access to some sort of information the rest of us have been denied? The founding fathers were in fact totally against equality? Maybe you should think through your comments when you feel so emotionally charged. Everyone else has had to control themselves and for the most part gotten along. Seriously, I take offense to that kind of stuff. 'People like you...' Whatever dude, good luck with that big ass chip on your shoulder.

Oh yeah, they were all for equality, but not in the sense your idols like Stalin, Lenin and Castro say.

They knew people were stupid and gave them limited representation. They didn't use government to steal money from the rich and give to special interests and trial lawyers, as you seem to want.

I wish I made something of myself instead of being a stupid pot-smoking liberal that complains about gay rights and captialism on the internet all day.

Bravo sir. That was brilliant. You are truly ready for the big time. Let's get you on Hardball and Meet The Press right away. With debating skills like that, the world shall most certainly be your oyster. I humble myself before your omnipotent wisdom.

Just remember what happens when the rich stay rich and the poor get poorer. Eventually, they stop crying and start looking for revolution. Then again, I guess since it happened in France the rules of human nature and history don't apply to us.

...meaning to be like you? What are you? Whatever it is, no f*cking thanks.

Thank you Gimli. I didn't know for sure who my idols were. Once I learn to read, I'll find out who those one people's were you mentioned. Thanks for setting me straight.

All I said was that there was room for change in our health care system. Which is in itself a rather ambigous statement. For, what exists that doesn't stand a chance of benefitting from change? However, I thank you for instantly labeling me a Communist sympathizer. Somewhere,  up there in the great beyond, McCarthy is smiling down on you.

You gave it away with your perverted view of 'equality'.
