Let me draw it out more clear for you..

"I'm a supporter of capitalism, but the fact is that it doesn't work for everything. These companies mindset is to make as much money as possible, while spending as little money as possible. That's the true reason for all of the stories in manasecret's post."-TheGame

Which got a reply of:

"That's not true. There are several types of non-profit health insurance companies, as well as mutual insurance companies, whose object is not profit."-Bond

So I'm referring to the stories in manasecret's post, and why these people were denied care. And you reply saying that there are serveral non-profit insurance companies... but... we're kind of missing the link to where these non profit companies have anything to do with what I said. Unless they would cover those people who are in question, with their medical issues and backgrounds.

So to make it fit the ORIGINAL CONTEXT of what you had quoted, I created a "loaded question" to move you back to the point I was argueing in the first place, instead of playing into your little "gotcha" game of pulling a one-liner out of context to make it sound untrue.
I honestly couldn't reply to your entire post even if I wanted to, and won't at the risk of taking what you say "out of context." Your informal logic is both perplexing and extremely confusing. It is hard to have a serious and honest discussion with you because you are constantly changing the context of the discussion: from general, to specific, and finally to misconstrued when something does not go according to plan. Also, little to no evidence is ever offered, and sound basis is rarely laid for your opinions. Rather, the discussion ends up being more-or-less composed of personal opinions and rants. I suppose this is fine, but even in an opinion-based argument, the burden of proof eventually falls on you. You can't constantly shift that burden back to the other person. That's just unfair.
