Quote:I think it would be fair to give an "opt out" (as in opt out of paying into the system entirely, both on individual policies and your tax dollars going to others) to those of us who don't want to participate if you are willing to be 100% financially responsible for any medical bills you incur. As I said, I believe in natural selection. I would not seek treatment for any major disease that was not natural. My body, my choice.Willing to be financially responsible does not equal -capable- of being financially responsible, and our healthcare system isn't set up (nor should it be) as an aide to natural selection....
"Hey uh, I know I said I was willing, turns out I can't afford it."
"Hey uh, I said I wouldn't seek treatment, but this cancer will kill me if I don't"
What do we do, tell you to go fuck off and die for your "principles"? Thanks, no thanks. Make a never ending and massive stream of exceptions to the rule? What's the point of the rule then?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
