They also get it from the many months I'm paying into it and NOT using it.

You've never actually figured this out have you?

Another mindless drone.

How much, on average, do you estimate you spend on health care, co-pays, prescriptions, premiums, etc? You don't have to answer publicly, but make a note for yourself.

Now, estimate how much actual healthcare you are getting for that money.

If you are paying more than you are receiving, you are paying for other people's healthcare. I assume this offends you, and you should cancel your insurance immediately.

If you are receiving more than you are paying, then other people are paying for your healthcare. I assume this also offends you, and you should cancel your insurance immediately, you slimy leech.

If you are allowing people who don't have the same misfortune of birth to pay for your health care you already are a lowlife? Right?

Again, you're going to have to do the math. Can you do math? If you pay less than what you receive then you are holding your hand out. Are you holding your hand out?

If you're not holding your hand out, are you as against those who hold their hands out for your insurance money as you are for children whose parents are, for whatever reason, not paying for them?

You hurl an insult at Republicans then .. Your hurling your tasteless insult at me .. my friend!

There isn't anything general about it!

You started it .. I finished it .. (with a lesson mind you).

My insurance has every right to increase their rates as they see fit as they are a business. I GET what the insurance thing is. I GET that you take one person who pays into it, but doesn't use it.. and that pays for the costs of someone else who DOES use it often.

The difference between this and the freeloading parents in this situation?

We have choices if we want to opt in for insurance. We all understand how it works. If MY money in my insurance goes to helping someone else's medical expenses, I'm FINE with that because they are paying into it -- they are being responsible for themselves.

I just don't care about other people's kids, sorry. I don't want them so I shouldn't have to pay for the,. Sorry if that's not a pleasant "liberal" saying. I am an advocate of taking care of ourselves and our responsibilities. Children are their parent's responsibilities, not society's

In this particular case, the taxpayers are paying for kids who don't even "need" the free lunch. It's silly and it's wasteful.

Anyone being responsible for themselves doesn't need insurance. Right?

The same is undoubtedly true of your insurance.

[for this segment of individuals I will happily pay my share in taxes to feed their children]
This whole thing is about the Local Government taking control of The Children .. again!

It's supposedly about not wanting to embarrass the Children!

Let me tell you Why this is all BS!

Every Child gets a personal number at the beginning of the school year.
As they go through the food line, they give the number to the cashier.
At the end of the month (sometimes, end of year) a bill is sent to the child's parent(s).

The poorer you are .. the less you pay and in Many instances, you pay nothing!

So NOW .. No One Pays!!

See where all the BS .. "For The Children" falls apart?

No one is embarrassed over not being able to pay!

So Now .. No One Pays!

AH-h-h ..Socialism at its finest .. and Everyone falls for it .. again!
