Why would anyone be AGAINST national healthcare???

That can go both ways. When used correctly, preventitive care can catch diseases in its early state and many times prevent the need for far more complicated and expensive procedures down the line. The trick is to compare giving preventative care for many to expensive procedures for a few, and hope you come out ahead.
 
no thanks, id rather not fight a pointless war against ghosts to fund a few men's extravagant lifestyles. I shouldnt have to do that to be healthy, this country is/was plenty capable of providing me healthcare without me having to become a slave or risk my life for it.
 
Under a national health care system that kids parents could be hauled in for child abuse.
I am not making a joke, it is already being done in Great Britain.
 
Absolutely no offence to you or your friend, but i don't get stories like this. Every hospital i've worked at will treat you no matter what. Insurance, no insurance, etc, even if you can't afford it, and they know you can't afford it. If you're a bum off the street and you have cancer and need chemo they will make it happen and give you what you need.

These have been at non profit hospitals and eventually the govt (taxpayers) pick up the tab for these procedures that the hospital would otherwise eat the cost of.

So again, i've never seen anyone turned away from getting care because they didn't have the proper insurance (if they had a serious illness). This probably happens all the time at private practices and small clinics because there is no way they could afford it, and they have no govt sponsorship. I can't believe your friend died because of insurance issues.
 
As said there is already a 2 hour + wait at the ER b/c people are there that don't even have a serious illness or problem. The other people who go there have no insurance, but can't be denied. If we give everyone free healthcare, the wait to see a doctor will be ridiculous.
 
It works like cops, you dont pay them directly do you? Yet youre still going to be pissed off when they don't show up at your door in 5 minutes when you call. It would work the same way.
 
Your an idiot. What about those that literaly CAN'T get that covereage themselves? it actually does happen in the real world you know, maybe not wherever your head is.

I agree america is spoiled. But I believe that you need to take care of the people with health issues they didn't bring upon themselves. If the only way to do that is that self destructive lazy fucks get covered too, so be it.

I forget whos quote it is, but it's something like: it's better for a hundred guilty men to go free, than one innocent man be punished.

Just an FYI, I live in Canada I'm covered. If I wasn't covered by my taxes, I would still be able to afford it. I make decent money, I'm no millionaire, but I'm looking at early retirement.

I am willing for my money to go to those who don't put up there own, because I know that some of it is getting to those who NEED my help.

Talk about how great your country is, but it's made of individuals. If it's made of selfish individuals who are not willing to help their fellow countrymen then what kind of country do you have?

I like how america can idolize it's warriors, but fail to understand that simple compassion will make them much safer, from both internal and external threats.
 
Yeah I had heard that. I'm torn on that part of the issue, that kid is being set up for failure later in life by people that are supposed to care for him. Lazy damn parents can't cook a simple healthy meal.
