Fine, fine work.

No, it shouldn't be we the people's job to pay more taxes for those individuals that made poor decisions or are lazy. I shouldn't be punished for that because that is exactly what universal health care would be for me and many other Americans. And it's not doctors' faults. It is the big corporations, big pharma, and the insurance companies in general. That part of the system is what needs to be changed. Go after them. Not the American people and the doctors. Universal health care=taxes raised for everyone. The doctors only try to do their jobs.

So, I told you how much my dad and boyfriend work. How much are they supposed to work to see everyone in a timely fashion with universal health care? THERE AREN'T ENOUGH HOURS IN A DAY OR ENOUGH DOCTORS TO GO AROUND!!!

I do care. I care a lot. So much that I just donated some money that I don't have to feed starving people around the country. It was my choice. But, it shouldn't be everyone else's responsibility to make up for others who are not responsible. They shouldn't be made to do it. The American people should be able to choose what charity work that they want to do. I shouldn't have to be made to pay for some lazy, irresponsible *******'s health coverage or some rapist's health coverage.

Poor decisions? How about living in trailers in twister country? Huh? Why don't we just ignore their problems too? That's Socialism(helping them.)Geedubbya got real generous when he saw their torn up trailers.All the sudden he turned a part-time Socialist and said "The Government can help too." Capitalism would be to round them up,and tell them they are now fkd.Time to rake leafs for your rich doctor dad......Hurry up,two or three people on this block need leafs raked up.

!!OOOOOOOOOO!!

Pretty much the same(or more) # of doctors/1000 people in countries like Germany,France, Sweden,and Switzerland.I'll take a nurse with extra training over an ass-hole doctor any day.

I'LL TELL YOU ONE THING.If you have NATIONAL HEALTHCARE,you will very quickly get the border protected.Trust me,you will see quick action,then(and probably only then.)

What did you do to help the victims of Katrina out? When Hurricane Katrina hit, I did as much charity work as I possibly could at the time. My honor club at my college got as many toys and goods (food etc.) as we possibly could to send to them. I think the federal government should donate money to organizations to help people because the organizations will most likely know how to distribute the funds better. I don't have a problem with that when a natural disaster occurs. I don't think the government should directly give money to the people. I have no problem in giving people money that deserve it. It's just there are a lot of people that don't deserve it. People that need to get off their asses, work, and make better decisions (i.e. universal health care and welfare)

I'm sure that nurse could perform surgery too.

By the way, my mom's a nurse, my uncle's a nurse, my aunt's a nurse, my step-mom is a nurse...etc.

Their lives would be made more of a hell through universal health care as well! They work hard enough as it is...

i don't think it's the governments job to provide health care. i don't think it's the govts job to provide many of the things it provides already. but states have turned over much of what they used to, or should provide now, to the feds as they don't want to foot the bill. so then the federal govt gets far more bloated then it should be. it's not a federal issue. but then, social security, medicare, medicaid, etc shouldn't be either.
people want to keep talking about the health ins problem when in fact those who can't afford coverage are already eligible for medicare or medicaid. the trick is that many who CAN afford coverage, don't want to afford it. they want the 'govt' to foot the bill. but the 'govt' doesn't foot the bill, we do. i pay for my own yet still pay for so many others...now my bill should get that much bigger?

i don't believe it is the govts job to take care of us. i don't want the govt in my life to that extent. i want them involved in my life, and my pocketbook, as little as possible.

Conservatives always love private charities.It's a way to say "I hate the Government.I hate to pay my taxes." Here is a cracker...Get better.It's a way to deal with the guilt from knowing your a selfish bitch.Almost all people who are for the tax cuts for the rich are huge fans of private charities.Makes them feel better even though they know inside just how selfish they are.If you gave a **** about those people in Katrina,then they would of had National Healthcare.

Most of them had/have medicaid.

I don't get tax cuts from what I donated because I don't work right now.

And I think the selfish thing is the other way around. I think it is selfish to ask hard working American people to pay more in taxes so those who haven't worked enough in life or made poor decisions can have universal health care.

How would Universal Health Care have helped them rebuild their homes? That has got to be one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. Again, you didn't do any volunteer work for the Katrina victims I take it. I not only gave my money, but I gave my time as well.

Fine,but fk those hillbillies in trailers that got run over in twisters.Just be consistent.That was catastrophic damage,,and so is somebody bankrupt with a 500k medical bill that they thought their insurance was gunna cover.Just don't come running to the Gov't when you get into trouble.Geedubbya feels the same as you,but couldn't wait to tell those hillbillies they were gunna get Gov't help.

I thought that you were a Republican?

Not people working paycheck to paycheck(and using every penny for bills.)The kinds of people Danzig and Romney think are partying away drinking 40 ounce malt liquor instead of buying healthcare.Fact is they probably needed every bit to pay their bills.

A lot of you consider yourself Christians (even if you don't attend church regularly.)I just want to say that Christ said it's pretty important how you treat the least among you.The least wasteful way to do that is National Healthcare.Nobody is gunna buy crack with it.Nobody is gunna be acting lazy while doing it(they have to get up and go to the doctor.)Nobody is gunna want to use it.They will use it when they have to.It's a lot better than giving checks out to be used in any way they want.There are only 2 reasons to be against it:

1)selfishnous

2)dislike of the poor

Like I said,it's a predominantly Christian country,.So,it would appear people simply ignore their own religion.

i've never asked the govt, or anyone else for that matter, for help.

my point is that the FEDERAL govt does not exist for much of what it has been forced to take on-the states should be providing their citizens for much of what the feds provide. the reason there is so much fraud and waste in many of these federal programs is that too much of the country is too far from d.c., and the further from that seat you are, the more problems you encounter with these programs.
each state should bear the burden for any of these programs. that way you don't have the issues you have right now with homeland security for instance. federal dollars were released to help states with security issues. we all should acknowledge that some areas would be considered more of a target then others. yet small states want the money divided evenly. how does that make sense?
the Feds should protect our borders with mexico and canada, and our ports. other than that, it should be a state by state issue issue. but again, state govts push much of their responsibility onto the feds, bloating our federal govt, and taking more of our taxes for them-then the states can't help if they want.
arkansas has arkids first, and it's a pretty good program. but it also explains why our tax burden is so high here in arkansas. we're still paying for fed programs as well. over ten cents on the dollar sales tax here, with state income tax--and there had been a surplus tax tacked onto that for years (thanks to 'lower tax' huckabee:rolleyes: ) and also a personal property tax. and the sales tax is applied even to food and medicine. it's ridiculous.

don't you feel that much of what the feds attempt to do would work much better, if done state by state? less red tape, less administration, as those offices would be local, with no regional and national offices necessary?
