      It depends on how much you pay into insurance or how much the government wants to use corporate welfare/warfare money on you. When it is private insurance, its how much you are willing to pay for insurance. When its government, they do a cost benefit analysis of your productivity vs cost to determine if you are still useful to the state. That's socialism.

        They haven't found the "real value" yet, because they're making anti-competitive standards there. Health insurance companies should be able to set any threshold they want, and then of course the ones with a super high threshold will be more expensive - so yes the value of the life of a rich person is higher than of a poor person (but that makes perfect sense anyway)

          Then stop breathing my air, peon.

          Once you agree to clans, tribes, governments...you've opted for socialism. The rest is just details.

            That is not a logical conclusion to my post and in fact makes no sense at all. Get back under your bridge, troll.

              No sorry that's capatalism determining the value of something as opposed the the value recieved. The nearest what you are describing comes to socialism is the old communist rule in Russia which had nothing to do with socialism. It's only concern was with protecting privelidged elites, you know like capitalism only with no money,

                  Tim Craig is an obama supporting union thug. He believes he is entitled to forcibly confiscate property and liberty from others for his own ends.

                        It's funny how people support the idea that their net worth as a person can be summed up in their ability to make money.

                                      Try cooking 100 dollars worth of food every hour, particularly eggs and omelets. WITHOUT a spatula. Can you cook eggs or omelets without a touching them with anything? I Fucking doubt it. The waitresses would call me Chief Master Chef and solute me.

                                        That is not a logical conclusion to my post and in fact makes no sense at all. Get back under your bridge, troll.

                                        Well, you said my life is worth more than yours so you should be glad to relinquish resources I request. As for being a troll, I guess that's a compliment from the hate monger who was cackling about his ex's baby going belly up.

                                          It's funny how people support the idea that their net worth as a person can be summed up in their ability to make money.

                                          That's called seagull management (or sometimes pigeon management)... Fly in, flap your arms and squawk a lot, crap all over everything and fly out again... by _Damian S_
