Britain and all UK residents have free health care... Not sure on the quality of it thought... Shit, Doctors gotta make their cheddar somehow, being that they save people's lives and all... [ September 27, 2012, 04:46 PM: Message edited by: Nifty50 ]

If you're in favor of for-profit health care, then you should also want to privatize police and fire. Why should you pay extra taxes to protect someone else's house? It's their own fault if they have faulty wiring and can't afford private fire protection, right?

Ideally, I would like to see the for profit health care in this country eliminated and in it's place would be Medicare for all.
The missing peice of Obama's health care reform is Medicare for everyone and I feel optimistic that an amendment to make medicare avalable for anyone who wants it is coming so long as Obama gets re elected and the democrats gain control of the house and senete.

I don't think anyone's gonna take the bait. It's one thing to ask Americans to pay taxes for Military, Police, Fire & a functioning government. It's another thing to ask Americans to pay for lazy people to receive benefits when they have no intensions on every getting off of them. Everyone has a chance in America to better themselves, but a lot of people haven't got the work ethic to become suscessful.
That's the honest truth.

People might need help sometimes and thats just life. But being a damn lazy piece of shit is irritating. What happened to working hard and busting YOUR ass to make YOURSELF rich? Not the lazy fucks. I think that if you're too lazy to work then find somewhere to die. I don't like the whole handouts idea because it stunts economic growth.
Is that too much to ask? [ September 27, 2012, 06:23 PM: Message edited by: 66_5.0 ]

It should be there when you need it in hard times "for free". When your back on your feet it should be affordable. I have been in that situation with a layoff and kids and needed it. Thats my opinion on it. Now with that comes all the people that use and abuse the system that we all end up paying for.

You know it's not free right. They are taxed to help generate the $96 billion they need each year to care for the 60+ million citizens. If we had a similar system, could you imagine the costs to cover 333 million citizens?
Here's a good Frontline episode from a few years ago that profiled a couple of different healthcare systems. Its interesting.

Right I do understand that they are taxed to shit but atleast they have a standardized health care system.
I dont think that the US should have FREE health care but I do feel that for people or young kids that have serious illnesses or other health issues that they should still be provided proper health care, especially for those people that really need it but cant afford it.
