Please name one person who doesn't want a better health care system. You can't.
Some of us don't want to be forced at gunpoint into a pseudo-better health care system.
Many of you want to force other people at gunpoint to pay for your health care! How is that in any way acceptable?
Just look through any of these healthcare threads. You'll find plenty of people who will tell you that they want the pre-Obamacare system back.
Obamacare has a lot of positives, but also some negatives.
The current system is bad because the healthy middle class end up paying more for a service they don't use. It's getting to the point that they can no longer afford it. My friend only goes to the doctor once a year and pays cash. It's cheaper for him to pay the tax penalty than pay $300/mo for insurance he won't use.
The best option really is a single payer system. Increase the federal income tax and rework the budget, but this eliminates the need to pay $800+ per month for a family health insurance plan. It's insane that my rent payment is cheaper than some people pay for health insurance. This is how you know the system has failed.
Hold the phone. Didn't someone upthread just insist that charitable contributions are nothing but a tax dodge? Or is that only when the charities come from lefties? I'm sure that's it. Explains everything.
"Through the foundation, Bill, Melinda and Microsoft maintain pharmaceutical patent investments, tobacco investments, investments in alcoholic beverages, petroleum investments, investments in experimental and controversial crops, and even investments in news/media. Gates need not even pay tax, though he keeps control of the assets and uses that control to influence private and public policy."

You can have any system you want as long as people aren't forced into it at gunpoint or via coercion.
I am not sure why liberals love to use violence and guns so much.
I had to laugh when I saw a sign at a tea party rally that read: "Keep government out of my Medicare!"
No problem... just pre-charge everyone premiums for 40 years or so, and then after that 40 years of premium pre-payments they can have government health insurance. That's how Medicare works.
This really baffles me. We have loads and loads of rich liberals including Warren Buffett, Tim Cook, Bill Gates, Emma Stone, Patricia Arquette, Meryl Streep etc. etc. etc.
Why don't they just pool their money together and create a fund to pay for all their liberal ideas such as health care, refugees, illegal immigrants, equal pay etc. etc. etc.?
Wouldn't that solve more problems than all the bickering?
Same reason Cons don't pool their money together to build a stupid wall.
