The premise of the thread is all wrong, Satan. You assume that workers are not used to paying for health care (many of us have for decades). You also assume that workers don't want to pay for health care (sort of like not wanting to pay for rent or food, but what can you do?). Wrong on both counts, I assure you.

On the other hand, if you're truly against paying for mandatory health care, you're probably doing the right thing for yourself by not working (legit). Your choice.

we already use tax money to pay for our roads, our safety, our schools education, etc. these things are all LESS important than basic human health, yet rich powerful fucks brainwash the masses into thinking it is all some commie conspiracy. fuck, people are so STUPID.

they repukecunts and the fucking conservative yellow dog democrats are ok with mandatory insurance cuz you have "freedom" to choose from a private provider, but if it's all from the government (what rob wants and i want) it's "nazi" and "socialism" and what the fuck.

yeah, that's their fucking level of brainwash and propaganda, and even you are repeating the fucking words they put out there to block any kind of change.

Best post of the thread!

Satan obviously has anger issues. Something she could afford to deal with if she had adequate health care.

Ha ha! Hey, Walmart's a great place to save for the holidays! Get out there and shop Walmart so this place can continue to pay its dirt-poor overworked employees.

2nd best post. It's the usual smattering of wise-ass remarks from kids off their meds.

My medical insurance as a $1500 deductible (family). Many insurance plans have deductibles that are much higher and most families can't afford it (but they have it). My place of employment provides us with a nurse practitioner at no cost. My family is so fortunate to have this blessing.

NOTHING good will come from the government running health care. What needs to be done is to allow insurance companies to fight against each other by allowing them to offer plans outside their current states of operation. If this can be done, I'm sure some will start offering "no pre-existing conditions" and affordable rates. The biggest problem will be your doctor / local doctors taking part in a plan from another state. It's apples & oranges, but it's not much different that Southwestern Bell / AT&T from back in the day.

These things should be tried first before the government screws everything up.

So true.

As either a military, state, or fed employee for most of my life, I've been fortunate to have some of the best insurance available. And still, going to the doctor is expensive. You still have to pay co-payments on everything from a simple office visit to an extended hospital stay, prescriptions, etc.

Only when I was in the Air Force was everything free, for both me and my family. Ideally that's the way it should be.

Any way, it's Veterans Day. Soldiers died for our way of life. To me that includes the ideal of access to decent health care.
