So you start counting when the clock switches from:50 to:51 and stop when it switches to:52. If you blinked, that's ok, you make up a number that sounds like what the guy next to you said but isn't exactly the same because then it'd be obvious you were copying him, just like everyone else did throughout time, second hand or no. It's not like you actually felt your pulse anyway.
I bet they were happy to insure you against the risk of future illness when they found out they weren't being treated like a charity.
Except for the fact that he started by explaining that they refused to insure his family, but apparently you had already gone off into hulk mode SOCIALISM SMASH HURRR HURR! and forgot that part from his initial post.
You apparently have the fire department confused with fire insurance
You pay someone a premium, something goes wrong, someone tries to fix it and maybe it works or maybe it all burns down after all. Nope, l think he's got it exactly right in a certain way (though completely unintentionally). Sounds exactly like health insurance to me.
That aside, people are not cars or houses. If something happens to you, a lump sum and being tossed out on your ass will usually not make you whole again. There's still follow-up visits, medication, and if it's a REAL problem, this goes on for the rest of your life.
The only way this can be fixed without completely destroying the system and starting over would be to eliminate employer group insurance so that people can get their own coverage and keep it even when they're no longer able to work at their job. Sadly, this would completely destroy the system.
It's easy to hold bullshit opinions and remain ignorant when you hold the belief that if others don't do all the research for you then your opinion can't possibly be wrong, isn't it?
It's easy to claim that the government imposes some maximum limit of care by law and if anyone dares to provide more value then the FBI will come and arrest everyone.
Next up, OP will be claiming the EPA demands that companies pour a liter of benzene into the water supply every year.
Life insurance barely fits "assigning value to life" in any actually meaningful way. I value my life much more highly than the "5 years salary" in insurance I have, but to get that life insurance, I have to pay more money on top of the money spent establishing and sustaining my life.
Life insurance isn't the "value of my life" it's "how much can I afford to spend per month so that someone else can get a bunch of money when I die compared to the opportunity cost of spending that money on something that actually enriches my life".
We work for corporations or consult for them when they are not interested in any of our goals or values. Geeks are always bending over, spreading their ass cheeks
And if we don't, we are "jerks". And so this story.

Legally you can insist that the trial go forward in a timely manner
You can insist all you want, if nothing happens, what then? It took Jose Padilla two years to get his incarceration heard by the Supreme Court, at which point the Bush administration finally got around to slapping some conspiracy to murder charge on him so the SCOTUS said "well, it looks like they're going to do something now so I guess it's speedy enough". Basically, in order to save us from Teh Terrists, the Supreme Court declared that "speedy" means "eventually". This guy has charges against him, so I'm sure when his case was finally heard the Supreme Court would say "well, they're working on it, at least you've been charged with a crime, so your case is speedier than Jose Padilla's was."
Down here in Texas we have people sitting in jail waiting for trial for minor misdemeanors who have already spent more time in jail than the maximum sentence for their crime. I suppose if they had a lawyer they could try to get out of jail on speedy trial grounds, then again, if they had money for a lawyer, they'd probably have just paid the bondsman.
That said, if I were him, I'd sit tight and wait for the idiots running the network to self destruct on their own, rather than have the network go down sometime after I was released and get blamed for it.
Criticism of Obama makes you a racist, didn't you know?
No, actually, I didn't know. I also didn't know that a huge chunk of the Democratic Party were openly racist. Or that there were so many little old ladies willing to tell the world that they're "racist" by criticizing at least some small part of Obama's plans.
The ONLY example of a truly oppressive "right-wing" government is... () the national socialist party of Germany.

That's the point of it being in real-time.

No, not that mouse button, the other mouse button.
She gets the usual useless error message and decides she must have mistyped something.

You wish you had a job? Then make yourself appealing and more competent, so that someone will want to hire you. Don't go talking about how somebody else is "stealing" "your" job, as if a job is somehow owed to you
You wish you had an employee? Then make yourself appealing and more rewarding, so that someone will want to work for you. Don't go talking about how there's no workers and the government has to change its immigration rules to let you hire foreigners, as if a (cheap) employee is somehow owed to you.
Do they? When was the last time United Healthcare invested in a drug patent or drug research in order to bring drugs to market more cheaply than a company that was solely interested in maximizing the amount it could charge for the drug? How many generations of heart valves has Aetna's technicians invented? Which insurance companies are encouraging healthcare providers to adhere to best practices in treatments (not counting Medicare)?
Last I checked, most insurance companies work by taking a lot of money from a lot of people and paying back some of the money to some of the people, and the rest goes to salaries (and stockholders).
Let's hear a couple of those "many more ways" insurance companies are keeping prices down. Maybe you could tell us how much more health care costs would be inflating if the insurance companies weren't there.
"People will buy it," said Lisa Johanon, executive director of the nonprofit Central Detroit Christian Community Development Corp., which runs Peaches & Greens. "We've seen the stereotype that urban communities won't eat healthy, and we're seeing that isn't true."

Sure, there have been some fairly steep fluctuations, but when you really grind the numbers, you find that them "tainted gubbmint numberz" really aren't so horribly ofar off...
Sure, if you ignore the fact that the "tainted gubbmint numberz" completely ignored the runup to the crash thanks to the "adjustments" that were made. There is no "gubbmint conspiracy" on this, the government openly stated that they're making these changes. Despite what the government thinks, people have to pay for their food and gas no matter how expensive it gets.

FDA approval comes in several stages: you prove that it's safe, then you prove that your drug does what you claim it can do. The first step eliminates the use of arsenic and such in treatments (unless you can show that the disease is worse than the cure). The second step eliminates snake oil and homeopathic remedies formed from dilutions of the refined glandular excretions of serpents.

Imposing a maximum amount of care means that the insurance company cannot cover $400 iPhones, also.

Just think, the same argument you just gave can be used to prove your "deflation" doesn't exist: "On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.7 percent in June after rising 0.1 percent in May. The index for all items less food and energy increased 0.2 percent in June after increasing 0.1 percent in May." Since the items in the "basket" change whenever the government feels like, the numbers produced are (literally, since if apples go up and oranges go down, the CPI switches to whichever makes the numbers look better) apples-to-oranges meaningless.
