They can have accessible health care. When prescription drugs cost $800 million to bring to market, medical schooling costs $50k per year, and malpractice lawsuits hit for $1 million, what they cannot have, however, is free health care.

I have plenty of it, yeah. But both of you failed to answer my question:

Who’s going to pay your $5k (and rising) per person per family?

Your property taxes pay for schools and the teachers union. It doesn’t cover healthcare.

Even if we accept that, $10k covers only 2 people though…I take it you don’t have any kids?

These are the 22% of the “base” that are outnumbered by 3:1 who intend to cull the world of the other 78%. It is impossible for them to even bleed since they are heartless!

It is very sad some put their monetary goods before human life.

Where’s the humanity????

So you think like me he has stock in the health insurance companies and probably works for one in the disinformation department next to collections.

Funny my property taxes are over $10K and for that we get even less. This I’m sure has something to do with the Brown Shirts like m12

What corporate plutocracy? The corporate plutocracy that built the atomic bomb, freed Europe from tyranny, obliterated Japan, rebuilt Japan, and overcame the Soviet Union? The corporate plutocracy that has resulted in a lifestyle of comfort, where even the poorest enjoy much larger homes, faster cars, and entertaining lifestyle compared to the socialists in Europe?

Or the corporate plutocracy that has made America the world’s greatest economy; one where millions strive to enter?

Canada spent $142 billion on healthcare for 30 million people in 2005, about $4700 per person. So I’ll kindly cut the $10k medicare figure in half.

Tell me, are you going to pay $5k per person in your family in taxes for your share of the health program?

Hi,
Listen why bother with this m12 brown shirted character? Once he mentioned that his heroes were Nixon, Regan and Bush that should be enough. He is deliberately offensive and openly supports the corporate plutocracy. Over the summer the true majority (that wants Bush impeached) will rise up and realize that as it is 88% of us want these blood suckers out of our buildings. I doubt that m12 and his people will survive mob rules let alone be the voice of the nation. His only bright spot is that the Dictator has not been kicked to the curb yet.

I don’t need to judge them. By accepting huge transfer payments through Medicaid, they are judging themselves.

Those people who don’t want to be a burden on Medicare are going to be just that exactly on a ‘universal’ system. Who’s going to pay for their healthcare when they can’t even afford it themselves?

Never mind your foolish assertion that ‘free’ ‘universal’ healthcare would drop the number of high cost users! Everyone is already dumping loads of their earnings into Medicare so a lucky few can leech off it; there’s nobody else for the rest of us to leech off. Who’s going to pay into it? The poor who don’t pay taxes?

$300 billion and Medicare supposedly provides ‘bad’ coverage for seniors. What a ripoff!

with single payer or medicare, money is paid into the system. If this went universal, more would pay into and the average or % of the high monetary health care users would drop significantly.

And to label, as you did, the 18,000 a year who die because of lack of health care are probably the medicaid types is outrageous. Who are you to judge what type a person is? This judging you people do is so classic to the bigoted ways found in narrow minded folks like your self.

Those who are dying, many are the displaced tax payers most likely in their 50’s, can not get health insurance because of a pre existing illness and as a result they have an early death. Because of their illness, maybe they can go on SS to receive medicare – but they opt out as they do not want to be a burden.

I have always believed that journeys are experienced to enhance the soul – expect some life lessons.

Well brown shirt nickel per post FUD spreader m12 I’m going to another topic since cross posting with you is unrewarding! Remember to thank Hitler and Gobbles in the next life.

He had to. Your hero Lyndon Johnson did the same with silver, right after he decided to sent our soldiers to Vietnam, then dump the war onto his successor.

Nixon had to finance it.

Our debt/GDP is far smaller than France, Japan, or many other of the socialist healthcare nations that you guys love, and its smaller than during Clinton’s first term.

Funny, lefties don’t care about any of that.
