Huh. I make a massive salary. But I am not a jerk. I don't like people living in abject poverty or without healthcare in my country. I call myself PATRIOT.
Is that what it's called...demanding that the government harm others for things you think are good ideas? Patriotism?
If you want to give your money to those in abject poverty or without healthcare access, by all means, be that noble. It isn't patriotic to demand that I do so as well, however, it's just evil.
You should start referring to yourself as an ENABLER, 'cause that is what you are. iT MAY make you feel good inside, it may help you wipe away some self-guilt, but all it really does is perpetuate the problem. Forcing them so stand on their own two feet, and NOT on the backs of others, is key.
Glad you think that way. Now tell it to the corporate welfare recipients.
Why stop at healthcare, everyone should take care of their own.
Build your own roads
Fortify your own military
Refine your own gasoline
Pay a little extra and have United Airlines land a plane at your front door.
Build your own school, and have your wife stay home to educate your kids between milking the cows and harvesting the grain.
Make your own penecillin
Wait one minute. How dare you.
Would love to see all these independent conservatives building roads and pipelines to their houses that they built with their own 2 hands.

I wonder if you have ever SEEN the problem first hand. I have. I disagree. Your selfish philosophy has over ridden your judgement.

It takes LOT more than that to be a patriot.
I will agree with you on one thing. Legal residents that can't afford healthcare should have access to it. It's the ones like the OP that have no direction in life that just expect the government to care for them from the cradle to the grave that are are a burden on our society.
It would be very difficult, if not impossible, for most people to pay for ALL their own healthcare without insurance, unless they are extraordinarily healthy or wealthy and have had a tremendous amount of luck throughout their entire lives.
However, if you had phrased the question that would include some kind of healthcare insurance and co-pays, I would have voted the same way as the great majority of people (about 84% so far) have voted so far, saying that everyone should pay for their own expenses.
What difference does it make what we should do when we have a Senate that simply refuses to pass legislation?
Poll: why do people post polls with answers so limited that one cannot answer? Do you agree or disagree with this tactic?
