    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.

        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.

        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,

                  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.

                          Wolfbinary thinks a strong forceful government should kill off most of the current population by any means necessary. Such as degenerating people until they are so stupid, immoral, diseased, and brain damaged that they just die quickly. Then genetically engineer, drug, and implant chips into the rest of humans to make them behave a certain way where the central computer controls humans and hitlarian psychopaths control the computer.

                                        How's the shoplifting going? Isn't that forcibly confiscating propery from others for your own ends? Don't deny you've done it and crowed about it.

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

                                          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.

                                          That's obviously not how it works. It also has nothing to do with my opinion. This is just how the system works. If you get in medical trouble, you may get better care than I would - except that my parents will pay too. That doesn't mean that I should go ahead and die. Nor CSS even (who would deliver your pizza then?)
