Agree
The best healthcare is for only those that can afford it. There are plenty of free clinics and county hospitals that provide care. Plus 9-11 is still available to all.

Baloney. What ignorance of reality you have, and complete lack of empathy for anyone not in your personal situation. We have a healthcare crisis in this country. We have one of the worse healthcare systems in the world regarding access and overall health of our nation. Those "free clinics and county hospitals" are paid for by us. Duh.

"No one should starve" - you're full of unrealistic silly imaginary talking points that don't mesh with reality. The reality is that 25% of our children are living in poverty and not eating. Where are all those food stamps and church food banks you pretend exist?

I know that and am willing to pay for it. It also is far from the best healthcare available.

You've never been "willing to pay for it". You've always said exactly the opposite.

I am against paying for someone's insurance and then waiting behind them for care. I'm against paying for some high risk insurance policy that was largely the fault of the insured.

I'm all for you subsidizing someone else's insurance if that's what you choose.

Tell you what. For every child you post that has starved to death due to poverty (not neglect) I'll post a food pantry and homeless shelter and I bet I won't have to leave the city of Chicago. In fact, I likely won't have to leave Michigan Ave and State Street.

Food pantries are bereft of donations right now. This country is starving and poor and the majority are getting poorer every day. If what you said "worked" in reality, we wouldn't have the problem, would we? Duh!

and if the problem was as dire as you portray it to be we'd have more dead children in the street due to starvation than from bullet holes. Wouldn't we? Duh!

Geeshus cripes. You really haven't got a clue. You live in a completely insulated imaginary world. You've got yours, you want everything you can get from this country, but you don't want to participate or contribute. You begrudge the majority of Americans that care about fellow citizens their actions. You're the ultimate selfish, unpatriotic, spoiled American hypocrite.

All I want from my country is the continued ability to peruse happiness and to be safe while doing so. I don't want/need a babysitter or a parent. I don't want to be told what light bulbs I have to use and don't want to be asked to pay for someone's health insurance that has spent a lifetime becoming unhealthy.

And you are the ultimate moocher who spends far too much time being envious and in a state of resentment/guilt for anything that remotely represents American success. It's not only un-American it's very ugly. Stop the loathing you have for America's success. We are not an never should be a socialist country. You want to provide more healthcare? Send a check to the Ronald McDonald house or St. Judes. They'll be able to do things with that money the government can't even dream about.

By the way just got a Fed Ex package that was promised by 4pm (sent yesterday). Still waiting on several pieces of mail sent over a week ago? But it wasn't my choice to use the USPO.

FTFY

PS I'm glad you got your TG sheets before leaving for SAR.
