Health Care bill passed

[Dotard]

Capitalism Capitalism Capitalism Capitalism FTW!! Oh wait, except healthcare, that should be socialist. And the police. Oh and the fire brigade. Wait..... education too. Where are you drawing your line on capitalism? Just food? Government responsible to protect the health of citizens you say, food is nessesary for health. Clothing is nessesary also. Where's the line Adrian? When people here advocate a mix of socialism and capitalism I believe you said 'bad idea' or something like that, yet here you are advocating a NHC. Thou confuses.

Perhaps the only amendment I would make to policy is to ensure that people with conditions that they have brought upon themselves do not get healthcare support. Such a policy would only increase fairness of the system, and would act as a deterrent to people who engage in activities that are dangerous to their health. If you want to smoke 50 cigarettes a day, fine by the government, but don't expect their support when you get lung cancer.

Or if you like to sky-dive. Don't expect care if you hit the ground and bust up some bones. Oh and the lady with ostio, she obviously didnt ingest enough calcium in her life, so no care for her as she brought it upon herself. Why 50 cigarettes? What if I smoke 5 a day? Should I be denied care? What if I smoke 1 or 2 a day? How about the web master (Tiberius) who developed carpal in the wrists? Denied care because you sat there typing on the computer thus 'bringing it upon yourself'?

Let's not forget Mr. George, developed a bad back from working hard all his life to make a better life for his family. Brought it upon himself (he could have worked easier and done with less) care denied.

Awwwww...... Joe busted his toe open stubbing it on that damned brick sticking up on his walkway. DENIED care because he knew about that brick for a couple weeks now. He could have worn his steel toed shoes yet choose not to thus "brought it upon himself".

You may think my examples are spurious however they demonstrate that slippery slope you advocate.

How about the local homosexual who contracted aids? How about ANYONE who contracted a STD?

Who is the line draw'er Adrian? You? Me?
