Why would anyone be AGAINST national healthcare???

If it's the right thing to do, in your opinion, then start donating to charity. I always laugh when liberals bitch about conservative morals driving new legislation, and then use the same bullshit, feel good morals to pass their own legislation. If you guys think helping the poor is such a great notion then donate your own damn money to charity and stop volunteering the rest of the country.
 
And if you lived in Zimbabwe you'd want the world to come help free you.

Do you also think that the world should be liberating countries ruled by dictators?
 
Right on dude, isn't it cool how politically informed us Obama supporters are?

Or maybe people like me are against it because I've been to hospital a total of 3 times, and (not counting physicals/check-ups) have not exceeded $5000 in total medical bills over the course of my entire life. I don't see why I should have to pay (in case your know-it-all ass hasn't realized it, any serious national healthcare program is going to make a very substantial impact on our taxes) the same as the pussy who goes to the hospital every time he gets a cold.

And I love this statement:
The fuck has Obama done to garner such support? Yell "change" a bunch of times?
Go ahead and talk about what he's "going to do" (because this is the first time a politican has ever talked about change, right? and if its not, then those past promoters of change SURELY followed through with their promises, right?)
What has he actually DONE?
 
So let me get this straight, you think health care is #1 priority, you don't think the food you find in a store is good, but yet driving to a place to get "better" food quality is not an option for you?

So you want everything to be convenient to you, at the expense of others because you don't want to change your style of living. You could move closer to the country and getter fresher produce. You could grow your own. But we have to conform to your needs?

People have the options, some are lazy others have other priorities. You are choosing something else over then "healthy' foods.
 
I would disagree with this one, its a pretty ignorant statement.

But the US should not go to universal medicine because the US culture does not go hand in hand with it.
 
Realistically, everybody will.

Especially with the way pols are pushing "preventative care" as some kind of magic bullet. Beyond a certain basic level, that's just a call to overuse health resources and waste money.
 
Healthcare is a RESPONSIBILITY, not a RIGHT, nor a benefit. YOU have the option not to eat McDonald's, but you are too lazy to cook a proper meal. That's personal negligence, and no ones fault but your own. My tax dollars should NOT have to go to your lazy ass to fix your fuckups. Sorry.
 
And who are you to say this is what i think the top priority should be? and im pointing out what its like not how i am, i eat a clean diet personally and am in top shape. The way things are set up makes it so much harder to do so and so much easier not to. you have to see things through many perspectives, not just your own. this whole 'so you want teh govt to do it for you' 'waaah' is quite amusing considering were at war spending billions of dollars on what? why? We spend shit tons of tax dollars on politicians and their campaigns and their wardrobes and their galas with thousand dollar helium balloons. Get fucking real, this isnt a handout this is ridiculous. The pharamaceutical companies have infested washington and deregulation let them run wild. medicine doesnt cost this fucking much. medical equipment doesnt cost this fucking much. how long are we supposed to pay for R & D? If there was more demand there would be more doctors because there would be more schooling. If we threw money towards education not only would it be more schooling but it would be better too.
 
It's also sad that the principles that got us to being the best country in the world is being replaced by the "gimme" notion of government reliance.
 
I agree. Im not saying we should all get top notch medical treatment but to have nothing is pretty sad for a nation like this. especially when the existence of insurance jacks up the price.
 
Says who?

And even if that were the case, its better to get low grade healthcare than none at all. And the health insurance companies thrive on denying you and i the proper healthcare we as citizens of this country deserve. You are under the wrong impression imposed upon you by those who wish for this current system to remain in place.
 
Are you suggesting any Canadian can get those same cutting edge technologies? How long do you have to wait for those treatments? Why are so many people comming down to specialists here? The system is not perfect here and there are things that need to be tweaked to help the people that can't afford such services. But a broad nationalized healthcare where service and quality goes down due to government intervention is not the answer.
 
Here's a radical idea. Let people figure out for themselves what they need to do in order to live a healthy and happy life. I'm sorry if some people can't use common sense to understand that eating at McDonald's everyday is going to hurt their health. I wish they would, they are driving up my health coverage.
