Poor people cost more for significant medical conditions than they produce in economic activity. They do not warrant significant medical intervention. Simple economics.

Did you even read what I just posted? The GOP and the government can't offer you anything that they didn't take or get from someone else, whether in the form of taxes or fines.

Why do you need the government to offer you anything?

Most likely you have.
Aside from my grandparents getting blocks of government cheese back in the day I don't recall ever needing or wanting any form of government assistance program. I'll let you know if I remember anything though.

What is the GOP healthcare plan?
Die young.

When it comes to Medicare, I'd be a fool to reject it after being forced to pay into it for many years. Medicare is just socialized health insurance. You choose your doctors.

That way it will be fair!

Never should have in the employer realm, corporations initially offered to a few employees to lure them in. Then companies in industrial fields started offering healthcare benefits because it increased their production and lowered their turnover. It just grew from there and all because we don't have a system outside of employers. We do need affordable healthcare options outside of employer provided coverage.


Republicans better come up with something or Democrats will pass another healthcare bill that Republicans will not like. And I for one don't care to hear Republicans whining when they themselves continue to ignore the issue. Crap or get off the pot.

Really. It seems we elect congress people who hardly ever get sick, so they don't see the need to worry much about the health care of other people, who can't say the same. Trump checked out in good health, so why should he give a damn about your health, while wanting to abolish ObamaCare? Other people strongly think you should have to pay for all your health care and that is just tough, if you don't have the money. So stay sick.

Any govt health care plan regardless of party will end up as efficient as the DMV and as compassionate as the IRS

Quit being thieving scumbags trying to reach into MY pocket, or the pocket of anyone else as you demand your WANTS be paid for by others. You do NOT NEED health care insurance. You NEED to learn to be responsible and EARN and PAY for your own WANTS.
What to do with old people in nursing homes when their money runs out?
