Re: why do Americans hate Universal health care?
Why are there so many commies in the US.. Health care is not a right.. Its a choice.. You can have it you can get it or dont get it.. Its not the place of the goverment to force health care on people.. I should not be forced to pay for something I will never use.. It should be MY COICE weather or not I want health care.. If I dont want it cool.. I dont need to get it.. If the poor guy down the street wants it COOL for him.. But a Person that does NOT WANT IT SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO GET IT

I've been watching bureaucrats fuck up this nation for over 40 years.

Now, I should be happy to let them control my medical care too?

This is a good beginning. Maybe owning land too. I'd also require that the candidates appear without party labels, so that only informed voters could vote a party line. The "row" on a voting machine should be randomly assigned to various party candidates so that they don't have any positional advantage.

Re: why do Americans hate Universal health care?
I would favor universal health care. However, Obamacare is universal health insurance. If you can afford the copays, then you can get care. Oh, and you have to buy the insurance as well unless you're very poor.

Pursue Truth.

This hard, tangible thing we call reality: the chair you sit upon, the computer, your beverage, cigarette, the air around you, is composed of 99.99999...% Space. Contrary to popular belief, energy-mass does not define the Space, but rather is defined -by- the Space. The all-permeating Space is a vibrating, infinitely dense medium of geometric discretion; a cube octahedral vector equillibrium. This is the One existence, and the only thing that exists, simultaneously. There is nothing else.

We do not live in a "big bang" universe.
We do not live in a "created" reality.
Our reality is a perpetually -creating- model, and It is aware.
Space is aware.
I AM aware.
"God", some call it.

Re: why do Americans hate Universal health care?
...


You don't udnerstand. I WANT to work hard to pay for my helathcare. I WANT control over who my doctors are , and what kind of coverage I have. I don't want Obama telling me what I can and can't have. I will gladly pay for my own plan to make my own decisions.
 Quoting: Dease


You will be able to stay with the same plan if you wish. The new law doesn't force everyone into the same plan.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17152779


Yes, but you will have to pay a penalty fee. This will be put in place to "encourage" people to switch over. As you know, the Obamacare law incldues the implementation of Verichip. I believe it is the mark of the beast, and will soon be required by law.
 Quoting: Dease


I've been trying to get a clear handle on the "implantable medical device" crap aka verichip. There's no way in hell I'll allow that in my body if I can prevent it, and I'll hack it out if it's forced on me. This is grevious bodily harm, like genital mutilation, and it allows us to be tracked, a violation of the 4th amendment. Does anyone know what the true story is regarding this aspect of obamascare? The bastards keep writing nonsense such as "the secretary shall promulgate such regulations as.....", and that kind of BS is impossible to interpret.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19746413


Thread: Verichip : The Mark of the Beast - Here's my thread that I wrote on this. Watch the video. It will send chills down your spine.

I totally agree. They would have to kill me first. Not only is it unconstitutional and gives them total control over you, but it is the most blasphemous thing you can do. By taking the mark, you are denying Jesus Christ. This is so because it will cause you to be brainwashed to worship the antichrist. As far as the wording, you're right. They try to hide it with fancy mumbo jumbo. But when you research it, the truth is so obvious.

Re: why do Americans hate Universal health care?
I like the idea of universal healthcare but unfortunately its not that simple, its more taxes and someone has to pay for it.
 Quoting: Machine42


Um, so, someone goes to the hospital and has no insurance and doesn't pay that bill. Eventually, that person ends up bankrupt.

No, when they don't pay, who pays for them in the end?

Hmm, if more people can afford a government issued insurance, as opposed to a blue cross etc which charges bloated costs, in the end costs reduce people. Man, the war machine to strike the fear of hell in you that this universal plan is the end of times have to breathe and understand what’s possible.

And yes, I expect bumps, but stop being the new "on-demand" generation and understand this is a 10/20 yr investment project.

It can work, if everyone just tried to make it understood.

Again, either way you view it, we ALL pay for it from bankruptcies or a new universal health care plan.

Or am I so dead wrong here?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1290769


There is no universal healthcare plan in existence right now. Obamacare only forces us to purchase insurance coverage. It does not build one hospital nor hire one doctor but just forces everybody to buy healtcare insurance coverage.
 Quoting: Bluebird


But, people with health care coverage then visit hospitals, they get paid. Increase staff to aid those, and build more hospitals. So not seeing the lose portion yet.

Re: why do Americans hate Universal health care?
Not reading the other posts I just want to add that solidarity does not necessarily lead to a better society, you need the suiting persons to lead such a system to success.

In continental Europe the solidarity in health care for everybody forced by a must have insurance paid by everybody did not improve health in anyway. People are reckless to their bodies because everything is assured and now they want to force laws that help getting access to organs for the recklessest (transplant liver for the alcoholics, lungs for the smokers, hearts for the fat diabetics, aso).

The same with the social benefits: why work if somebody fixes my outcome, may it be food or shelter.

Great new world, fixed by the healthy living and hard working minority in the so called democratic countries, but the system is overturning itself and you will have civil wars in Europe if the productive countries would stop feeding the lazy ones.

Use your brain or take a look at nature: serve the food and the animal forgets to hunt and even to move (there are self-explanatory animal test with Caenorhabditis elegans)

Democratic socialism encourages stupidity, laziness & boldness.

So with Obamacare let´s say: welcome to the club! Additionally change your food stamps into cash and become a second Europe...

Go read some of the horror stories about Britans National Health Care system. People dying from dehyradation because the govt. paid nurses won't give them water because they have to change the bed sheets more often if they do.

People drinking water out of flower vases to stay alive.

Why would you want to turn your life over to some affirmative action government nurse? Who might decide to just not give you water and kill you because you're white?

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1375479


Because America was built on rugged individualism and free markets.

I'd say the majority of Americans that actually want to work don't subscribe to the hive mentality.

I'd rather do for myself and take my chances then allow some government agency make decisions for me.

Bottom line for me anyway is that I really don't give a crap about people I don't know personally. I don't care if someone a thousand miles away doesn't have health care, a roof over their head or food to eat. It's really none of my business. I also don't want, or would accept a hand out from a stranger were I to find myself in that situation.

Re: why do Americans hate Universal health care?
Because it's a bill for Health Insurance and big Pharma.

I'm struggling to find how this bill will help the patient.

Also, decades of bills being written that have done harm to the citizens wallet to justify this bill is obvious. Take a good hard look at how we got here. Illegals going to the ER for a cold, like it or not progtards that had an impact on what we all paid.

Do your hospitals and health centers need marble floors??
Next medical bill you get take a look and the administrative costs then start looking around when your in these facilities.

This bill will only make that fact worse and anyone who is intellectually honest gets that.

My main reason for opposing the bill is the simple fact of not trusting the robber barons with 1/6th of the economy.
