I didn’t say I was for socialized medicine.
All I said was that we are all paying the price for the ENTIRE (EVERYONE) health care system.
OK
But the issue that has brought this topic to the forefront of the citizens of this country is that even middle class folks can’t afford to pay for the insurance policies they would prefer. i.e. unlimited benefits in the cases of extensive cancer treatments, AIDS treatment, etc.
The “It takes a village” idiot FELT that universal health coverage was a necessity for you and me, and somehow got the whole freaking Dem party to see how that could be a perfect opportunity to seize power from the populace. With the aid of the MSM they convince enough people to win some elections based on the promise of what appeared to them to be the health insurance policy they could not previously afford. An old trick, promise something for nothing. This along with teaching the public that virtually unlimited health care is a right. We don’t deserve to suffer and die just because we can’t come up with the millions of dollars it will cost to stay alive and well.
Now this thread. The big slice of reality pie that the promisers had hoped no one would notice: Some people are a higher risk than others, so should we refuse to give them the treatment required to keep them alive and well, or charge them more than others for the free gift we had offered to win their votes.
I can’t find it acceptable to be forced to buy what will probably be a crappier policy so that EVERYONE can have as good (or bad) of a policy as I have.
The truth is: if I can’t afford to have the same treatment a gozillionaire can afford, I’m going to die. We all do eventually. Big deal. Make your peace with everyone you deal with every day, get right with God and stay ‘fessed up.
