Over/Under ObamaCare gets Repealed? *Edit* Entire Law Upheld

false. If there was demand for mass transit the market would provide for it.

It is because of the Freeway system created by the government that allowed for the sprawl that necessitated cars.

Haha if you think private companies would be allowed to have their huge buses stopping at every city block with unrestricted access. Who would take priority of schedules or would it just be a huge clusterfukk of companies trying to pick up whatever passengers they can.

Somewhere along those lines taxpayers would have to pay for something whether its oversight or safety regulations. So people are still paying for transportation..

I always when people talk about privatized roads and/or mass transit. I mean...really tho? I can't imagine how awful that would be.

What's next? Maybe we should privatize fire departments. If there's a fire, you better hope you have fire insurance, or can afford to pay the fire department's fee, otherwise you're SOL. Yes, letting buldings burn down is probably bad for the economy, but it's better than government interference. Perhaps we should privatize police departments too. Better hope you have police insurance, otherwise if you're getting robbed or something that's just too bad. Personal responsibility right?

sounds pretty fair to me.

Someone with asthma probably will have significantly hgiher medical costs than someone without the preexisting condition.

Those actuaries are pretty smart guys. If they can assess risk based on something like a preexisting condition, then usually their estimates are fairly reasonable.

I have plenty of speeding tickets and points on my License because I used race when I was younger, My insurance is 3x times higher than average. I don't know who these people are who are getting cut rate insurance with bad records but i'd love to know where they are obtaining these deals.

Lol@you being able to drive.

Some companies already provide mass transit for their employees. I know apple and GOOGlE have mass transit programs for their employees.

No it wouldn't be like Public Mass transit, but who wants to ride that crap anyways? I don't. I hate it. It's dirty and the people are ghetto and annoying. I don't want to be on those things especially the buses.

This dude's response shows he's not worth responding to.

 

[Economics]

In that case, please give me an example of a market-based mass transit system.

Or are you seriously asserting that no mass transit system in the WORLD is demanded by its respective citizens? Because none of them are market based.

Before the 1940s or a little earlier the subway/train systems in Chicago, NYC, and Detroit (they straight got rid of their streetcars) (https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=....432073,-83.007889&spn=0.261508,0.617294&z=11) were run by private entities before they either went bankrupt or taken over. You can just wiki or google the systems for Chi and NYC to see when the switched from private to public.

There is always a demand its to which extent if it's under a private model it depends if the private entity is going to have their marginal costs = to their marginal revenues or greater on the revenue side.

If you live in a place where there is limited or no public transportation you need a car.

You can ride a bicycle.

Or, you can ride a scooter

Then don't.

Private mass transit will not work like public transit because it has to be profitable.

We have lite rail system out here and sometimes there will be ONE person riding that thing. That is not going to cover operating costs.

Think about a production function in a general sense. If outputs are greater than inputs, then there is profit and resources are used efficiently. If outputs are less than inputs, then valuable resources are being put to waste. governments have to subsidize the latter not the former. That means we subsidize economic entities that extract valuable resources and process them into something that is worth less than the resources that were extracted. There was no Value added in short and value is actually removed. That's unsustainable and should be the primary mission objective for the" sustainability " movement.

I really don't get why people like him are on this forum, maybe they feel that they are missing like the black part of themselves and this is the closest they will allow themselves to be next to black people.

It is what it is Sad.

Private companies left transit because of the lack of money. Ask NYC Rebel about all those private bus companies that just abandoned the MTA like 6 or 7 years ago.

I have to say....this is some bullshyt.

I don't want or need health insurance

I been off that shyt.

I pay out of pocket for regular check ups.

Other than that...my immune system is always on beast mode. I never get sick and don't have nothing wrong with me, and I take care of myself to keep it that way. I am willing to risk something happening to me and I'll just foot cash for the bill

Noone else concerns me...I don't really care whether the next man has insurance or not...not my fukking problem.

As a completely independent voter, This could push me to pull the lever for Romney in November.

Im not trying to be forced to get some shyt I don't need or want. Thats some bullshyt!

Penalize my income tax for not getting health insurance? fukk OUTTA HERE WITH THAT BULLshyt ASS shyt
