You guys know that you can still have private healthcare if you want right? I mean I'm not even living in your country and I know that. This simply allows uninsured people to get care and not receive a $50,000 bill for it.

Wow. America is an incredible place. Not only do you let corporations fuck you in the arse, you like it so much that you defend them. When your government finally steps in to help you, you turn on them! A whole goddamn country with stockholm syndrome.

THE REST OF THE CIVILISED WORLD HAS PUBLIC HEALTHCARE. Why the hell don't you? Do you want to keep dying of toothache because you can't afford the doctor? Do you hate your poor so much?

I think you guys should go read the actually stats. If you look at US history and want to see when the most Americans had the best access to the highest quality of healthcare, at the time. You only need to go back to right before Medicare and Medicaid was mandated. Cost were much lower and charity higher. Government changed all that. Look at stats such a Lasik eye surgery something handled by the free market. Then look at the healthcare in countries with huge government.

Nope, that's exactly what civilized government is: armed enforcement of laws to uphold the common good, via a monopoly of violence.

If you don't like it, go live in somalia, or any other country with no central system of government.

You can "still have"? No. You had better get or else! Threats of violence against peaceful people to force them to buy anything is either immoral or all of us would be allowed to do it. If taxation is not theft then we would all be able to tax each other. If someone can force you to buy a service then you should be able to force people to use any service you decide to provide.

[Andy Wright]

Civilized people do not threaten peaceful people with violence to force them to pay for services they never consented to. Civilized people do not put peaceful people in cages for refusing to cooperate with a monopoly of violence such as the state. Civilized people are not willing to kill people for noncompliance. The civilized choose to voluntarily cooperate in resolving complicated social issues and peaceful resolutions. Only the UNCIVILIZED demand obedience, cash and violent resolutions.

You're attacking the very economic system that has brought mankind out of the caves and onto youtube.

[mecher3k]

And?

What is your point? I don't worship them like you do.

[TimeWarp66]

A corporation made the computer you're typing on, and the chair your fatass is sitting in. Now get out of here you big dummy.

[mecher3k]

Lol dumb ass drone of the corporations.

[Joe White]

I agree! Everyone should have health care, or more so, access to it. I have private health care for myself and family, we do everything to stay healthy. As a responsible adult, I ensure that we do everything we can to remain healthy and out of the doctors office. I have the option for a great company health care plan, but found a truly better fit on the open market.

[Joe White]

I think you missed the point of the video. We (wife, self, and child) were on the very generous State Of Illinois health care plan and found it more economical and better coverage to go to a private plan.
