Uni Health Care

[dry land fish]

My taxes pay into parks department and I never care to use them. My taxes pay into the school system, I have no children and never intend to use them. My taxes pay into the highways of california, I never intend to use them.

YOU go ahead and pay extra out of your funds if you want to use these services and you can have your government parks and schools.

(The preceding was allegorical)

I would rather not pay any of those taxes. There's nothing I can do about it and I don't complain about it because uncle sam will get it anyway. I will complain about the extra taxes this health care system will impose on all of us whether we want it or not. Either way the decision isn't up to us little people. Our government is going to keep tweaking this healthcare plan and then whatever they decide they will make us foot the bill for it. Hopefully it will turn out positive. I'm not trying to knock people out of health care but I feel that it's not the governments business. Where I live the Amish people get out of paying some taxes because of their "religion". So while I'm paying taxes to keep the roads up around here those Amish people with their horses and buggys are tearing up the pavement. That really burns my butt but what can I do? Nothing...just like there's not anything I can do about this issue.

[...] but a free health care takes money from those who have money and gives it to those who don't.

I really do not understand the 'but' in that sentence! If someone doesn't have any money at all then all the more reason they need free health care! Because they can't afford it themselves! Heatlh should be a given.

In 3rd world countries, would it not be ideal for them to all have free health care? No money means you can't afford health care so you need it free!

Why can they not afford health care? We live in a country that has wonderful educational opportunities. Why are they not getting an education and getting a job that will either give them insurance or allow them to buy it from someone? Even the factory jobs here that employ people with a GED give people insurance! McDonalds has insurance. I work for a non profit and we don't have insurance but I'm not going to complain about it and expect you to pay taxes to help me out when I could easily go somewhere that offers health insurance. It is not your responsibility to pay taxes to keep me healthy.
