Why shouldn' a person be required to pay for his ins...Some one has to pay

[surfermaw]

We need health care, we pay more for healt care than any industralized nation, Everyone should pay his part instead of spending on every thing they want and leaving other people to take care of HIS oblifgation, if someone can't afford insurance find a way to have the government help with part of it..Just because a person would rather wear the most expensive MJ sneakers or jeans instead of paying for his ins. Should the whole nation suffer?

1. I think the plans of Obama and Clinton have to be studied further... however....

I do know this much: that in the U.S. no viable candidates are thinking that single-payer is do-able overnite.

2. Today, workers with low income and no health insurance are required to pay taxes to insure those who

for whatever reason do not have a job.

That is an egregious abuse of government and should be the #1 priority to correct before anything else is done about Universal Health Care. :grr:

3. So all those uninsured people are uninsured because they spend too much on clothing?

Let me guess, you read the Cliff's Notes for "Atlas Shrugged" when you were 15 and the scales fell from your eyes? :eyes:

6. Not all but some

4. HR 676. Medicare for all

it simply expands the current Medicare system to provide coverage for everybody, at a cost that is less than what they currently pay for insurance. No opting in, because everybody is already a member.

5. Just because you can afford ( I`m assuming ,just like you did)

MJ sneakers or jeans. DO NOT assume everyone is just out there trying to figure out how to stick the rest of america for thier health care. WTF???

7. Nobody argues for this

HIS obligation indicates to me you can afford your own insurance and don't want to pay any taxes to help those who can't.

You feel sure no one you know and love will ever have this problem, and so don't care what happens to those strangers that have failed to be "successful" enough.
