Uni Health Care

[dry land fish]

As a Libertarian I believe that everyone should be in charge of their own health care. If someone doesn't make enough money to afford health care then oh well. I work for my money and they should do the same. I don't work to give healthcare to other people who can't afford it. I don't mind the elderly getting a free ride when it comes to health care. I also don't mind if mentally or physically retarded people or disabled people get a free ride with health care.

Wow. All I have to say to that is....fuck.
I'm sure my son with autism will be oh so grateful that you are willing to spare a few tax dollars for his health care.
I hope when you grow up and have your own children you'll change your tune miss.

I have a child. I pay for their health care. So are you saying that you can't pay for your childs health care? Why do you expect everyone to help pay for their care? They are your child...not everyone elses. Most people do feel the way I do about this issue. Most people don't like to pay taxes to go toward social programs. Most people feel their money is their money and not anyone elses. Why anyone thinks one should work to help feed everyone else is beyond me. That defeats the whole point of working. The point is to work to feed yourself and your family. If you haven't noticed the people complaining about this issue you should turn on the TV. People are pretty angry about this government ran health care plan. Only the far left bleeding heart liberals support it and just a few conservatives are for it. Most people are saying that if their congressmen and congresswomen vote YES on this thing they will not vote for them when they come up for re election. I see no problem with it the way it is. If we could put some cap and trade on the medical business so that they can't charge an arm and a leg for something as simple as a blood test then we would be ok. People need to stop expecting to get things for free. It takes a lot to become a doctor and they deserve to be paid well for what they do and their knowledge. Tuition costs around 60 grand or more per year for a good college. They have to be able to make that money back. This free health care will cause a long wait at a clinic and will cause the USA to have to employ more doctors. Those doctors will come from foreign countries to fill those spots. How is this helping American doctors to get jobs in America? What about the doctors who graduate at the top of their class from a well respected institution? They will not get a job over a foreign doctor because that foreign doctor will work for less money. I'm not interested in seeing a doctor that didn't graduate at the top of their class. I'm really not interested in having to wait for a week to see one for an illness. Canadian doctors are over worked, under paid, and people have to wait forever just to see them. Their quality of healthcare is low when they do see them. There's Vanderbilt hospital in Nashville and UK in Lexington and then a couple in Louisville KY that are top of the line hospitals. When I or my family get sick we go to one of those hospitals for serious care. Those good hospitals will be non existant if this free halth care plan becomes reality. You can expect to pay about two grand a day for a bed at Vanderbilt but they employ only the top medical professionals. There is a band aid station disguised as a hospital about five miles from my house. It's about 100.00 a day if you want to be cheap about it. I wouldn't take my dog there because they will just about kill you. That is what we'll see all over.
