Says who? And don't give me any BS about a "compassionate society." I'm at my compassion limit with all the Welfare and other transfer payments that I support.
Totally correct. Nobody is entitled to health care, no matter what these libs think
The political reality is that you will never get enough public support to allow insurance companies to go back to denying coverage for pre-existing conditions.
We have to live in a world of political realities and not an “ideal plane”. And the political realities are that this is DOA with voting public.
Agreed.
The left always tries to conflate society with the government.
Government is not so society
Someone has to pay

It’s interesting that when we were a “christain” nation, people were not afraid to die. Well, there is that, but also, how expensive IS morphene, anyway?
I’m 63 with no insurance. I trust the Lord to provide until the day I die. He has been an EXCELLENT health provider!
Welfare to the receiver == gimme freeshqt i am entitled to
Welfare to the supplier == forced government confiscation of money you earned/invested
Government takes when you earn, they dont give you any back when you lose. But they still take from you, even then.
Back in a college Philosophy class in the 1960s, one of our classes was an ethical discussion about this. What happens when there are expensive cures for diseases, but not the means to provide them for everyone? If I remember, the conclusion was that for every high-priced medical solution, there had to be a low cost option available.
What I would favor is a policy that covered catastrophic situations and diseases....nothing else. For those who chose that option and nothing else (or not even that), there should be first-aid/self-healing clinics for those who choose that. I don't see how else the problem can be solved.
before gov’t meddling in health care - 5% of gdp and best quality on earth
after 50 years of gov’t meddling - 18% of GDP and worst quality in first world
the solution isn’t more gov’t meddling

My husband had a motorcyle accident before we met.
They told him, if you did not have a job, we could help you but you work.
The bill collectors called while he was still healing(1 year recovery)which hurt too!
But he paid it all, for what insurance did not cover.
Silly us workers.
We’re all martyrs now.
I have ‘insurance’ with which I cannot afford to get sick.
During a Town Hall Meeting, Hillary Clinton told the woman in my same situation, to ‘keep shopping’. Doesn’t work!
The people getting sick now already did pay... their money was stolen from social security and replaced with “government bonds / IOUs”. Who buys those bonds? Foreign countries like China and South American nations who rape us on trade deals in return... also, Insurance companies buy those bonds in exchange for forcing everyone to buy insurance that we can’t use. See how they are all saying, “If we go down, you go down...”?
The game is almost up...they are trying to get rid of cash so they can enforce negative interest rates on a global scale... but that bubble might burst...then what?
WWW III / currency reset / things move quickly then.
