Do you have health insurance? If so why? Get rid of it and Just use the ERs- put your money where your piehole is. Show us all how easy it is.

No chit Dick Tracy- tell us about preventative and diagnostic care so people can avoid ERs and nip potential serious illness down the road. What about medication? Lifesaving
Healthcare is more than emergency care.

National security. A sickly population puts our national security at risk. Someday you may need that same help.

The U.S is the land of opportunity for everyone. Go get a job and buy real health insurance. People need to stop being scum and looking for government hand outs. I have health insurance because I work my but off from nothing. Hard work. I want the government out of my life. Most of these pigd take advantage, and don't have health insurance because they rather cable TV, and leased range Rover. Get a job snowflakes!!!! Get a job, make it happen.... work 18 hours a day

The ignorance of people defending this boggles the mind.
Pre-ACA. My mother felt bad, but couldnt afford to see a Dr. months later when she passed out she was taken to the ER. the lung cancer had metastasized. If she had gone in earleir, she would have had a chance. My mother died.

My friend had type 1 diabetes, and it got bad enough his liver failed. He choose to stop the dialysis and die after losing his job, and healthcare rather then bankrupt his family. He had REAL insurance and worked hard. we're a right to work state, his employer fired him rather then see their insurance costs go up.

People defending this show a level of callousness, and intentional ignorance that I am disgusted by it.

I had to loan my lazy son 1k last month to get examined when he had acute stomach problems. I thought you made six figures?

I do-now. Wasnt making as much then, AND had 8 kids. My mother wasn't the sort who would tell anyone her problems.

Or are you another one of the pathetic that think its fun to say
"You killed your mom?"

Go take a long walk off a short pier.

It is a shame if people are more embarrassed to ask family for help than to rely on coercing strangers.

I think we should all let impoverished family members know we will help if needed.

Would be a shame if your son had just ignored it because 1K is a lot of money and he died. And then someone on the internet tried to imply it was your fault. Boy the person doing that to you, how would you describe him? Fill in the blank:
