Idiot. *Medicare is not for the indigent. *In fact it is for the

Big deal, so I made a mistake between Medicare and Medicaid. The
question remains the same. How many of you assholes would happily go
through bankruptcy for health care? I can confidently say that no one
would.

Lying is a big deal. *If you haven't taken care of yourself why should
you steal from me?

Isn't it funny how almost everybody in the US that is against
universal health care is currently protected by some sort of medical
plan? What about all those literally millions and millions of US
citizens that aren't covered by anything? They're your people and they
are part of what makes the US such a great nation. Don't they deserve
some sort of health protection.

What's next? *"Free" dental care? *"Free" hair cuts? *"Free"
housing?

I once stated that the most important human right was to be healthy.

That is a "right" in as much as the creator created you. *"Free"
access to my labor is *not*. *It is slavery.

Mill jumped in and stated that it was freedom. The fact is that
illness and especially chronic illness without health care is a loss
of freedom that the healthy can never possibly comprehend.

Loss of liberty is as bad. *That is what you demand. *No less.

Well put. *When did health care become a "right"? *This is what drives
me crazy. *It seems that suddenly everbody is entitled to everything
as a right. *I actually saw somebody being interviewed (on the street)
that firmly belived they had a "right" to housing. *Health care (and
housing) are not rights.

You're an idiot too then. Since when does somebody have to go bankrupt
when they fall ill in spite of having taken good care of themselves?
People get sick without having anything to do with lifestyle. When
that happens, and the lifeblood is being drained from somebody, does
any corporation have the RIGHT to steal all his money first because of
out-of-control costs? JUST to please the share holders? It is okay in
your limited mind that life is for sale?
