@Mugchgu yea... and government run health care programs have never denied treatment to any patient... get real! I work in health care as a pharmacist and see it every day. You know who the biggest offenders of coverage denial are?? Medicare denies more patient claims than any insurance company in the country.

Ranked by whom? As you point out, the whole world is socialist. Why do insist on reducing the one country where freedom is a value? People around the world vote with their feet to come to America, not for the European-style entitlements, but for the liberty to market the products of their minds.

This was one of the best explanations on what is a right and good that I have ever heard. Thank you, Judge, for your consistent work for the sake of liberty. You are a true patriot.

@Mugchgu to continue...Thanks for wanting me to have what I want for my family (and Im serious). But that is my responsability and choice to pick the type of health plan with the options myself and family need. I dont mean to pry but do you feel this way because you don't have heath ins yourself?

[zepDzen]

@Mugchgu Where is the double standard on my side? I never said anything about expecting others to take care of me or my family? No one in the US is denied Med attention, one of the reasons priv health Ins is so high, and why an asprin cost 400% more in a hospital. Its simple economics, the ones that pay will always pay more to subsadize those who can't or won't. I think you are taking for grantide that this is a little more sophistocated than "everyone should have it".

[Mugchgu]

@zepDzen Spare me your hypocritical double standards. It may not happen to your loved ones but it will happen to thousands of other people's loved ones every year. Since you oppose universal health care, then you want their loved ones to die slowly. I just want you to have the same thing for you that you want for them.

[zepDzen]

@Mugchgu WoW" Thats beautiful, you wish illness on my children, loved ones and to watch them die a slow death...hmmm...You do care about people!,,,But only if they agree with your rationnal...Karma loves people like you my friend". Don't write me back, your a scary person.

[Mugchgu]

@zepDzen My answer to you is simple. Karma is a bitch. If you don't want universal health care and stand by the Insurance industry snakes who kill 45,000 people per year by denying them health care coverage, then I hope your child or your spouse or someone you love develops a chronic illness that needs sustained medical treatments. Then the industry that you so idiotically defend will drop their coverage and you'll have the pleasure of watching them die slowly. FAIL INDEED!

[zepDzen]

@Mugchgu FAIL! LOL, Yhea" Judge Napolitano is dumb and your wicked smart! Try reading the complete GC papers, not an abstract summary on some blog! Jezzz!!!

[Mugchgu]

One thing this idiot is omitting is that the Geneva Convention, which the U.S. agreed to, states that health care is a right and depriving someone of health care is an act of torture. That's why prisoners get health care while they are incarcerated. They do not pay for it, therefore it is not a good. Besides, even if something is a good, it can still be legislated as a necessity and need not be exploited for profit. Energy Cooperatives do the same thing with electricity and natural gas already.
