I don’t mind paying. I’ll hang with piano wire anyone who expects me to pay more than my share. It’s not “entitlement” to say EVERYBODY pays their fair share.

What is "your fair share"? And when do you plan to start this murderous campaign?

Consequently, "fair share" is relative depending on who you talk to. The Rich should pay more than they ever would need because it's "fair", regardless of how much medical care they need. The poor shouldn't have to pay anything because that's "fair", they can't afford it. The Conservative says everyone should pay the same, regardless of your wealth, or you don't get care.

Finally, "entitlement" is the taking side of the equation. When the expectation is that I should get it for free because 1) It's a right, 2) I paid my fair share or 3) Because it's owed to me, then it becomes an entitlement. We know that nothing is free. It had to be paid for by some means. Fair Share would be relative to who paid for it and who benefits from the funding.

In short, when you think about it, your 3-sentence statement is gibberish. ;o) But I understand and share your sentiment and frustration.
