You'd think so, wouldn't you?

at least give me a fucking option, christ. that's all i'm saying. is that it's not right to be stripped of a choice.

Yeah sure, I don't really see why they don't make it an option. However, IT'S NOT A DONE DEAL. Why the fuck don't you call your senator and tell him that you want it to be an option? That's what he/she is there for. Don't just bitch on an internet forum, do something.

think about how much of our tax money already goes to bullshite. i'd prefer they take a little extra to actually help myself and others in my community out...you know, rather than support more genocides.

Its funny how people can get so worked up about one but not the other.

My road tax comes from someone else's salary. I have an agreement with the local council whereby I hover about an inch above the pavement whenever I leave the house until I arrive at my destination, unless it's a council building. Meanwhile, my taxes go to fluffy bunnies and kittens.

This is the best thing you've ever posted.

anyway, you guys can have at it, i just wanted to start some shit. i have my own situation under control far away from the filthy greedy fingers of obama and co.

Yeah, how greeeeeeeedy of them to attempt to give healthcare to people other than the privileged classes. You anti-Obama people sure have a funny definition of greedy.

i sledom get sick. when i do i drink orange juice + chicken broth and try to sleep as much as i can. i havent been to a doctor in well over 8 years (unless ya count getting check ups at the health department....ive done that twice in the last 8 years....you know, wanna make sure im clean)

This is more beneficial for stuff like heart disease and cancer, obviously. And since you haven't been going to the doctor for anything other than STD tests, how would you know if you need either. In any case, why is it only about you? I never get sick either. In fact, I only stayed home from sick one time in High School. But I'm not the only person in the country and I believe that health care is a right that everyone should have. It's the OPPOSITE of greedy.

of course i know i CAN get hit my a truck and need medical attention. but i also know the hospital has to accept me no matter what. of course this could mean outrageous medical bills....but i also know tons of hospitals will just accept whatever you can afford to give them...and having worked as a leasing agent in a relatively prestigious apartment building, i KNOW medical (as well as school) debt is often looked passed when trying to get a new apartment. im sure it works the same way when trying to get a car. so many people are in medical debt they just sorta have to look past it.

Sorry, that's stupid. And again, they don't do that shit when you have cancer or heart disease because you've avoided adequately taking care of your health your entire life. And the end of this quote is so mind-boggling... I really have nothing to say about it.

in ref to what sway said earlier - of course you can enter a hospital and be treated. but is it really fair that you'll have to spend the time 30 years paying that bill off? it just contributes to a cycle of poverty...

Quit being logical. FUCK THE SICK. It's their fault they got sick anyway because they were weak.

And just in general: people who don't tip are assholes.
