Ask Sarah Palin about the destruction of the rainforests, the wide-scale extinction of species, acid rain, soil erosion, the depletion of the ozone layer, pollution, toxic waste, atomic waste, the energy crisis, the North-South crisis, the economic crisis, the food crisis, the water crisis, and the housing crisis and you will get a bunny looking at headlights.

@Ashiwel27 What you don't know could fill a book. It is government and the fact they know better that makes premiums rise (not to mention the fact they only pay $.65 on the dollar). Average return on investment for an insurance carrier is approximately 3% to 6%. Piss off already ignoramus. I know of nobody that has been denied health care. Health INSURANCE is another subject altogether. People die everyday, I suppose you'll argue that to live is an entitlement as well.... Good luck.

@luke55664 Maybe my friend deserved to die. Great comment there. I really feel sorry for people like you. You cannot be helped. All I have said is that people shouldn't be denied health care because of games insurance companies play. Youtube brings out all sorts and I won't bother with you again. We'll enjoy our austerity, safe in the knowledge that even though we have queues, no one is left behind. God bless you.

@Ashiwel27 How long are your lines? What quality of care do you have? And why are your mates being replaced with 3rd world workers? England sux balls you bloody serf! Actually you being a horrible person was your language. Let's just say I am not one that is content to believe that the human race is an endangered species. Now piss off you bloody wankin' serf!

[luke55664]

@Ashiwel27 Don't know the bloody pratt. Maybe he did. So you must think that food is an entitlement. Wait, why stop there, Food clothing shelter and health care. Oh, what about energy? Yeah, that should be an entitlement too. Considering money buys all the above, why not just make money an entitlement? I am not surprised you live in the UK. Good luck with that austerity headed your way.

[Ashiwel27]

@luke55664 I live in the UK for now and they've got national health care that we all pay into and get treated free of charge for any condition, pre-existing or not. Insurance companies also provide cover here, it's fairer because people have an alternative. If only my friend worked in the UK, he would be alive today. Don't you find that disgusting? I may be ignorant and a horrible person as you claim but I value human life. Clearly you and your friend in the insurance industry do not

[Ashiwel27]

@luke55664 So what's all the fuss? Afterall everyone who gets sick gets treated free of charge. Everyone is entitled to health care but at what cost? It's not free is it? A lot of people get sick and unfortunately can't afford the costs associated with their illnesses. They also aren't able to afford insurance to pay for their medical costs. My best friend died because he was refused coverage on a pre-existing condition he had. I guess he deserved to die.

[luke55664]

@Ashiwel27 Entitled? "Health Care" or "Health Insurance"? I know of no hospital that would refuse a sick patient. You're an ignorant person regardless your zeal for the health and life of mankind. And that, as you so eloquently stated, makes you a horrible person.

[Ashiwel27]

@luke55664 Indeed. I value human life and feel that everyone should be entitled to health care. I'm a horrible person. Thanks for your comment

[luke55664]

@Ashiwel27 You should worry more about what you don't get. The list is long.

[Ashiwel27]

@luke55664 The insurance companies already decide who they will cover or not cover, that's a death panel, isn't it? If you have pre-existing conditions, you don't get insurance and are allowed to die.

For God sake, don't you people get it? Insurance companies should not run a healthcare system because they are set up not to pay out. It's amazing a lot of Conservatives call themselves Christians but their actions speak otherwise.
