Why the cost increase?

real meeting of the minds in here huh. lmao

Did you pay out of pocket to have it put back in the wrong place?

That is the problem, Insurance companies see their patrons not as patients but as business assets. Heathcare is not about anyone getting rich or poor. It's a necessity of life just like good water, and clean air. Some things should just be understood, in spite of them being used to control population growth on the down low.. 

We are at 7.9 billion people on this earth..  1960  3.031 billion

India 1.366 billion
China 1.398 billion
African Continent 1.26 billion
All of Eastern Europe 292.5 million
All of Western Europe196.850 million
Scandinavia 21. million
All of the Americas 1.002 billion

120 million people are born every year, 60 million die..

850 million are undernourished. Dad and his 4 girlfriends eats fine the 12 kids between them are starving to death. World hunger? Not really. HIV infects up to 1/4 of these starving countries population..

WHO feeds the world? North and South America...

When was the last time you ate reindeer? NEVER

When do you think any eastern European or Scandinavian country's population ate BEEF.. Yesterday...

Brazil's beef is 1/2 the cost of US beef. WHY? On the hoof US beef has doubled in price over the last 18 months on CA or Nevada cattle. (4 inoculations not the 7 or 11). Good beef. I quit eating it..

If you want home-made speakers why not try the Moabs?

What is this fascination people have with wanting to federalize everything in this country? The founding fathers wanted LIMITED government. They saw what failed around the world and they had a different idea for this nation.
I just don’t understand why people want more government involvement and control in their lives.
With every step we take in that direction, it is one step closer to socialism/communism.

Like someone said earlier, the government can’t run anything right.

We need to preserve our freedoms and liberties. Preserve every individual’s independence and not let our constitutional rights be taken from us or else that document will be a relic in a museum one day, showing kids what was once the law of the land generations ago.

@nonoise i dunno man. if you're asking me what i think about healthcare, my answer is "in america it's a nightmare unless you're rich. a basic level of care should be free for everybody, but it's not and that sucks." but i don't think we're going to solve all the worlds problems by arguing about them on a stereo forum. i was under the impression this thread would be about what everyone thinks of gear prices going up, not a drunk uncles facebook showdown
