Why does everything have to be someones fault? No, it is what it is. Having insurance gets you access to preventive care, and in many cases it saves lives.

I didn't say anything about government, I said insurance gets you access to preventive care. In US we rely in the private sector when it comes insurance providers, while in Europe the government provides it. Are you talking about Europe?

No, it certainly isn't.

We are talking about government mandated insurance so your response is very valid.

it looks like someone did not read justice roberts decision.


also, according to the Constitution, protection from force and fraud is what the goverment is suppose to be there for, nothing else.

There is nothing barring anyone from obtaining health care coverage. It is a matter of choice for most people. Some people would rather have cable TV than health insurance.

You go to great lengths with your dissertation to justify selfishness and lack of compassion.

Health Insurance Scams are a booming business!

Quote:
Fake and deceptive health plans are spreading rapidly. They’re operating in most states, and exploiting a perfect storm of vulnerability: Millions of Americans without health insurance...mounting job layoffs...and rising heath premiums.

Victims have faced thousands of dollars in medical bills when their bogus plans refused to pay up.
Phony health coverage

The legislation, once implemented in its entirety, is expected to cover 30 million Americans currently lacking coverage.

The lack of medical insurance has had grave consequences for individuals and the nation. In 2010 alone, 26,100 people died because they had no health insurance — that amounts to 502 preventable deaths a week
Yeah and over hundred thousand died due to the malpractice and over prescribing of drugs....

Looks like the best health care is to eat right, get exercise and stay out of the American Medical system.

Synthetic Opiates now kill more people every year than Automobiles. 60,000 and climbing.

But go right ahead and get those poor bastards without health care signed up for the most deadly service they can get. The American Health Care system.....

WHat a crock.

Just curious. Do you use the healthcare system at all? Do you plan to ever?
