Americans spend more on health care because of degenerative diseases such as heart disease and cancer. A large part of this is due to the increasing obesity rates of Americans. Rich Americans also love plastic surgery.
Infant mortality was not as high as it is now under this same health care system 20 years ago. In fact, America had the lowest infant mortality rate of all the developed countries 20 years ago. And I agree that Americans have this "it won't happen to me" outlook on life, but that is no one's fault but their own. 1) The government should not pay for universal health care. 2) When an individual has a child, that individual should be responsible enough to take care of that child under ALL circumstances. 3) It should not be America's duty to make up for poor decisions made by individuals. 4) Do away with welfare. It makes Americans more lazy. Socialism makes Americans more lazy (i.e. welfare). 5) Doctors earn the right to make what they make by not having as long of a life expectancy as they would if they weren't a doctor. They earn the right by trading their lives through their dedication and pledge of serving others. |

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. |

actually, health care probably could be paid for with what we already pay to the govt. other programs would have to be cut. IF they did come up with a viable health care plan, medicaid/medicare would no longer be necessary (i'd assume)...and it would be nice if pols would put the necessities of life first, and maybe cut the foreign aid budget, or bs pork barrely spending for their home states. once upon a time, afghanistan got more of our money than any other foreign country--an attempt by us to buy favor. that worked well..... i read an article the other day that talked about our military budget. it's astronomical. of course i always knew it was fairly high...but it compared what we spent to our next closest 'competitor', china. the gap between us and them is beyond huge. and a lot of that is wasteful--look at the v-2 osprey program. no telling how much that has cost over the years, and the damned thing still doesn't work right. but it's a pipe dream to think that taxes wouldn't go up tremendously to fund national healthcare. and who will get stuck holding the tab yet again? those of us in the middle class, as always. and then the middle class gets accused of being selfish, while footing the majority of every bill the 'govt' pays.

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. |

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. |

you hear a lot of talk about those withou coverage--but how many of the people without coverage truly have no alternative? how many without private insurance are covered thru the medical plans already in place?

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. |
