It's neither a right, nor a privilege.

It's a service provided by individuals who are trained and experienced in their trade. No different than than the HVAC guy that works on your heat pump. They provide a service for a fee.

Interesting point, but matters of life and death are a little more serious then heating and cooling, in my opinion. But very good point indeed.

Should we abolish social security and medicare? I guarantee some of your loved ones are dependent upon those social services.

Do you think people should have equal access to healthcare regardless of their ability to pay for it or do you believe people should only have access to healthcare if they can pay for it?

This is as Politically Correct as a person can get. Always wanting something for nothing merely because you exist. You ever earn anything Paddy ?

Sounds good on paper right? But without those social services, that millions depend upon, people will riot and cause chaos, resulting in a depreciation in the quality of their lives, and your life as well. Look at the bigger picture my friend,

Another point that I would like to make is that social services keep people from ransacking your house. I know, I know, you have a gun to protect you. But that gun will be rendered useless as they come in droves. No offense to you, I just have a hard time understanding why people don't see the bigger picture.

I would take Obama over Bush any day. You do know, that Bush, expanded medicare, do you? What say you on that?

Expanding medicare is one fault, robbing hard earned money from it to give to the illegals and undocumented equally as the poor or hardship cases,...well.....aint much better from a Peace Prize recipient. At least Bush sent me a 700 dollar check one year. Obama bailed out GMC with it instead, without asking I might add.

Obama has good intentions, better than most Presidents, but lacks the foresight and skill needed to lead the many. He`d be a great Mayor......

It should be a right. medical needs are necessary to stay alive. staying alive should not be determined by my financial status.

Medical bills shouldn't be allowed to fuck up your credit either with how rediculously expensive it is.

theoretically having a fucking heart attack with no insurance could easily run tens of thousands. on top of that, I should be fucked out of ever getting any kind of loans cuz of the massive debt on the credit report.

And having to have good credit to open a god damn bank account is bull shit too, just saying.

Everything is geared to keep the poor in their place. thats what America is all about. fuck you, as long as I can get to the top.

They really need completly free national healthcare, even if taxes went up some to cover it. it couldnt be much worse than the $400 I pay a month now just to have insurance not counting the $3000 deductable.

oh, and all businesses should cover the cost of insurance, they can afford it since they have kept wages the same for the last 30 years while technology increases their productivity tenfold. good thing we got rid of the unions ;)

So yea, insurance should be a right
