Health care - let's talk.
We were chatting it up over in the comments and it's something I haven't seen on this board in a long time. I tied the comments together the way they were meant, hope you dont mind.
TBO: 'I see TommyO...hope you never get sick without insurance. I already went bankrupt once...'
Tommyo: 'I actually don't have health care right now TBO. But that's MY responsibility, not the countries.' 'By the way. If you can't afford health care now. Just wait until the government is giving it away for 'free.''
TBO: 'You're the one who can't afford it, not me these days. Hope you don't need an operation like I did though.' Then all your manly "It's my problem" talk will just be pretty weak.'
Tommyo 'You're absolutely right. But that's on me. I'm actually getting health coverage in the next month. But the point being we shouldn't even let government get involved in health care. They aren't very adept at handling $$.'
Capsize: 'just wait until you get admitted to the emergency room and I pay for your care through my premiums if they admit you.' You ain't invincible so will need some care at some point or are you hoping for a lover nurse?'
My point is this: How are our schools doing? How is our Social Security doing? How's the FED right now? I just can't even fathom how people think the government should provide 'free' health care which would undoubtedly be a bigger operation than all of these government run fuckups. Are they magically going to be fiscally responsible? Once we start 'free' healthcare is there EVER a way out of it, or are we then going to make the people even more tied to a run away spending machine called the US Government?
I want less government. Less involvement. Imagine the economy if the government wasn't taking 30% of what you make. If you had back even 10% of what you're giving them right now, would you be able to afford your own health care insurance with ease?
Let's talk.
- An extra 10% at the lower income levels wouldn't make a difference.Mimio
