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.

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.
