You socialist cocksmoker! I'm not going to pay extra taxes so some no-tax paying, drug addicted, homeless, immigrant prostitute can get a free shot of Novocaine and stitches, to patch her up after her latest "John" Donkey-Punched her and then gave her a Cleveland-Steamer while she was out cold! <--- Conservative answer
Originally posted by Quiero MotaHe put the spotlight on it but I've been interested in this since I got sick back in 2005. The fact of the matter is that if my father's job didn't provide Healthcare insurance I would probably be dead now. Why? Only those who can afford it are allowed to live?
Did you by chance get the idea for this thread by seeing Sicko? I hate Michael Moore, but I thought it was really good. France has free healthcare and college...a la velga guey! The US should adopt that, it would save me from giving 11,000 a semester to WUSL for my son's college.
Recently my friend came down with a bad case of strep throat. He didn't have insurance so they gave him one bolus on IV anti-biotics and sent him on his way, even though his throat was still bad enough that he couldn't even talk. They gave him prescriptions for anti-biotics and painkillers. They painkillers were $12 while the anti-biotics were $93! He couldn't afford it and had to spend 2 more days waiting for his grandmother to come and pay for him. He was two shades away from death and yet he couldn't do anything. Why? Because the Pharmaceutical companies have our countries balls in a vice grip.
This explains it the best.
Everything you have always wanted to know about social security.

So you guys subscribe to the idea that poor people CAN help their situation if they wanted to? (This is not a trap...this is a legitimate question for you two...I just want to know you honest thoughts about it.)

I'm sure some might be able to help their situation; though, that is a separate issue.
'Free healthcare' is an ideal towards which all countries should aspire.
"Free" refers only to what you would have to pay at the time of your doctor's visit, surgery, or when getting prescriptions filled out.

Idiot.
But regardless, healthcare is so expensive that even middle class families can afford it. My family sure as hell isn't rich but we're not poor and yet if I wasn't covered under my father's healthcare plan there would have been no way for us to afford the three surgeries and all the medications I had to take over the past 10 months.

As for your comment. Healthcare would only cover things needed for medical purposes. A drunken homeless man off the street with liver disease won't get a transplant because he fits the profile of one who would only destroy his new liver.
You don't need to be homeless to be considered a "bum"...
