I don't have a problem at all with you paying for health care. But it isn't a "right." You must provide for yourself.

You provide for your food, clothing and shelter, don't you?

If you can't afford it, the government provides it. Health care is no different.

The liberals have destroyed the best health care system in the world. Wait till they need something that the "board" decides is too expensive and won't pay for it. Wait till they are told their doctor has "opted out" and will no longer accept Obamacare patients. Wait till they have to wait many weeks for some needed, perhaps life saving, surgery. Oh, what a great system Obamacare promises to be!

What a great system it is when life-saving procedures are dictated by your financial background.

What a great system it is when most bankruptcies are caused by medical bills. Too bad citizens in the rest of the developed world don't have medical bankruptcies.. I'm sure they are all so jealous.

No, I don't "care" to, thank you very much. I get tired of putting up with stupidity. Trying to educate liberals is a waste of time. Working to defeat them at the ballot box is far more worthwhile and productive.

Yeah, so we have a lot of people today who won't provide for themselves and are perfectly happy to have the the rest of the country provide all their needs.

We also have a lot of people today who look at lower income people as inferior or subhuman, because they require assistance in the form of tax dollars.

If we actually addressed the causes of poverty, we wouldn't need to redistribute so many dollars. Instead, we are too focused on further enriching the top half of the country.
