“Once the US accepts socialized healthcare, it is over.”
They’ve accepted it because most of the people I know (I’m surrounded by libs on every level) believe it will be the exact same system, except the government will pay for everything. As one co-worker who has a chronic illness put it: “I had to pay $3,000 for medical expenses last year and that is just unacceptable! The government needs to take care of us. I need that money for other things.”
Tell your lib-friend that is a pittance. If I was even able to carry insurance it would cost me over $10,000 a year due to a chronic pre-existing condition. Fair, unfair, the government should do this, should do that! The reality is I carry catastrophic coverage and it doesn’t cover the pre-existing. I pay cash at the time of visit with my Dr. and he discounts me over 50% since they don’t have to do paperwork or bill me. My actual out of pocket for past several years has been less than $1000 a year.
I remember a couple of young callers to G. Gordon Liddy’s show in the aftermath of Hillarycare. They had been considering med school but there was no way they wanted to end up as forced government employees. Brainiacs are not going to put up with this nonsense.
Life long conservative who is slowly coming out in favor of something besides what we have now.
Everyone that works for fed/state/county/city.com gets great healthcare, many of them retire or start retiring at or double dipping at 45. Healthcare continues for life.
All paid for by hard working people like me.
Then we have entire generations that have been raised with rent, food and healthcare paid for by the same hard working people like me.
The final straw is watching mexicans break our once great Nations laws and illegaly come here by the tens of millions while the fedstatecity.con does nothing.
Then mamacita and the bambinos come too and before you know it the same hard working Americans like me have to pay for their rent and their food and their healthcare.
Did I mention they are destroying healthcare for everyone?
Did I mention the city/state/feds dont care about us hard working Americans who pay for everything.
And last but not least, who can afford to go to the dam doctor after paying for everyone else to get free healthcare.
I have to pay a minimum of $250.00 anytime I get sick enough to see a doc, and I have to get really really sick.
I pray I dont have to take blood pressure or cholesteral drugs because they really have a racket going there to fleece anyone stupid enough to not have insurance or have someone else pay for their healthcare.
