Whatever a doctor gets as pay, it has cost me $6,000/yr, every years, for all of my life. Over $200,000 so far and none of that money remains for my use. My money is gone and spent. For me to be compensated, I have to do to another person for my benefit. I have to rob children of their future to make up for what was taken from me.
If they refuse to pay up, I get to persecute and prosecute and kill them for my benefit.
This is the morality of liberalism. The liberal only cares about himself and to hell with everybody else. If somebody ends on the street, to pay for the healthcare of the liberal, the liberal doesn’t care. The only thing the liberal cares about is himself.
I don’t care what a doctor gets paid. I only care about what it has cost me for a healthcare system I do not benefit from. It has cost me over $200,000 directly and it has cost me $700,000 indirectly, through lost investments, and it has cost me about $30,000/yr in foregone income to pay for something I do not benefit from.
You are an example as to why liberalism is an immoral philosphy. YOu only care about yourself and do not care about the costs to other people. You have sold your children into poverty for you present benefit, but I suspect that you don’t care because you get healthcare for yourself.
“It has cost me over $200,000 directly and it has cost me $700,000 indirectly, through lost investments, and it has cost me about $30,000/yr in foregone income to pay for something I do not benefit from.”
Pretty much the same can be said for millions of people, both north and south of the 49th.
I understand the shafting. I only escaped because I was healthy (and remain so) and because I’m low income.
I unfortunately will probably die of cancer, and probably not cheaply. And unfortunately, I can no longer assume I’ll be healthy, as I could in past years.
