Comments on: Card: Health Care Is A ‘Want,’ Not A ‘Need’ — ‘Don’t Have The Government Fund It’

Card should wrap his head around the fact that health care is not a privilege; it’s a right.

But that’s too much to expect from this guy, part of a crew that had a hard on for violating people’s right.

I wonder what Card would say if he had no health care?

This from a F^c&in@ @sshat who said you don’t roll out new products in August, re; the iraq war pitch?

Who gives a flopping, flying F^c$ what this crapshoot Card says?

Hey Card, go get me some cheeseburgers! That’s about all you’re good for.

WOW you really are stupid.

It is CORRECT that healthcare is NOT a right.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

That isnt up to him or YOU to decide. We will decide that democratically and since more than two thirds of Americans WASNT universal healthcare I think you will lose that argument eventually.

I read no where in the Constitution of the United States that healthcare is a right.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Did you read about highways or Police in the Constitution? Does that mean we shouldnt have them? Dont you see how stupid that argument is? What about the promote the General wellfare in the preamble? That certainly could be interpreted as providing healthcare.

The Constitution is NOT subject to interpretation, no matter what all your slimy lawyer friends tell you.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

This may be the single stupidest thing ever written in the English language. OF COURSE it is intepretive. That is why it was written in broad language instead of specifics so it would be a flexible document that gave broad principles that could evolve as society evolved. You really have no idea what you are talking about do you? Why do you think the Supreme Court was written as a brach of government when its main DUTY is to interpret the constitution? Why have they made decisions that were later overturned like Brown vs Board of Education? Do you just regurgitate the idiocy you were programmed to believe like this without spending one second thinking about it? This last statement is so outrageously wrong no one with two functioning braincells to rub together could possibly take it seriously

Orange is incredibly stupid, no reading. Too ignorant. You really are the stupidest piece of garbage I have ever run across. The depth of your stupidity is astonishing. Do you take stupid pills? Do you have any self respect at all? Are you proud of being so stupid? Have the decency to be embarassed by your ignorance.

If the Republicans in Congress really believe that Americans are not entitled to health insurance, then let’s remove the health care benefits of ALL the Republicans in Congress. After all, if health care is not a need, then the Republican Congress doesn’t need health care.

It totally boggles my mind. Why do they ask these Bush people anything?? They have NO CREDENTIALS!!!! They are responsible for the mess we’re in right now! Would you ask the captain of the Titanic for tips on boating safety? Perhaps if you wanted to know how NOT to do something.

Watching the fools who were part and parcel to the worst, most corrupt, and inept administration in recent history take it upon themselves to try to tell others what to do, say, and how to act, is ridiculous. This ass clown should find a job that keeps him out of public sight. He is as big a disgrace as his boss W was. These sentiments go to all the rest of the crime family. They should STFU and sit down and allow the grown ups to TRY to clean up the mess they left.

One of the things Card did during the Bush administration was help corporations get rid of their ergonomic programs. He’s a premier scumbag. I don’t believe a word he says about anything. He’s a pawn in the corporate gutter like all the rest.

Unfortunately one of the biggest problems with nationalized health care in the US is that we have way too many people with personality disorders, who would overuse/abuse the system. I’m talking about the people who didn’t get their emotional/nurturing needs met when being raised, and consequently use the healthcare system to get those emotional/nurturing attention needs met. The people who are constantly going to the Dr. or ER, constantly seeking medical attention, constantly coming up with somatic complaints, and needing some sort of surgery every couple of years. You know who they are. I think the US has more mentally ill people per capita than any other developed nation. We are sick.

If Obama’s “healthcare reform” means HMO mandates and NOT a single payer national health plan, then Card is correct, we don’t NEED it.
Unfortunately Obama caved in to the insurance lobby this past Thursday and officially has rejected ANY national single payer plan outright. More HMOs folks. Hold onto to you ankles ‘cuz you’ll be FORCED to buy their policies.

Healthcare, anywhere in the world, should be driven by altruism, not capitalism. If you became a doctor just to make a lot of money for yourself, then I don’t care how good you are or how sick I am, I do not want you near me.

Healthcare should not be a for-profit industry, subject to the whims and desires of the elite few who makes millions of dollars off the sick and dying.

It is CORRECT that healthcare is NOT a right.

I read no where in the Constitution of the United States that healthcare is a right. The Constitution is NOT subject to interpretation, no matter what all your slimy lawyer friends tell you.

Obama’s plan will never pass. Too expensive. The solution is to user the private sector to build coverage groups. I am not willing to pay for your healthcare. I already do, in increased costs because uncovered ppl use the emergency room for every sneeze and sniffle. If you are educated, instead of wasting time saving the world, go get a job with a company that provides coverage and benefits. Simple.

Bilbo Hussein Baggins Says:

I guess I just “want” to live, I don’t necessarily “need” to live. Because lack of health care is a life or death situation for many in this country.

TP, I highly recommend this as the ‘featured comment.’ What a simple, succinct summary of what’s so wrong with die-hard conservatives.

Nicely done, Bilbo!

The GOP regards all of life’s basic necessities as “privileges” that only people of status deserve. If they had their way, the poor and disenfranchised would be denied food and oxygen as well.
