you are correct, however we have to pay the inflated fees that are a result of the criminal system that is in place
and if you call up a doctor and tell them you have issues and want to see them, they will deny you unless you can pay them up front with cash or have health insurance, many doctors wont even see you if you just have a credit card
This thread IS NOT about "children". It is, if you read the first post, about "Young Adults" - 19 to 29
Okay, fair enough. But my basic argument remains the same. No matter who is uninsured, they should not place the burden on the American taxpayer to provide them with their insurance.
AGAIN, short-term insurance is necessary in some cases. Some people find themselves temporarily without medical insurance due to circumstances beyond their control. I think it's very important to have a safety net for these people (similar to the safety net of unemployment insurance). But I believe a person's health care is basically his or her responsibility, just like feeding ourselves, clothing ourselves, and providing our own housing. A temporary "leg up" is one thing, but a lifetime dependency is quite another altogether.
NO ONE is denied healthcare in this country. NO ONE
Greatday, get serious. It's not being denied, it's NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD IT!!!!! Do you understand that? Do you? Do you get it that there are people out there whose employer does not offer healthcare, do you get it? Do you understand that if your employer does NOT offer healthcare, you have to provide it yourself? Do you KNOW how much it is a month to pay for insurance on your own? Does this sink in at all for you???? Do you just not even give a s*it that there are people who desperately need healthcare but CANNOT AFFORD IT????? WTF is your problem?

Well, I, for one, DO know how much health care costs. I have had to provide my own before. And you know what? I managed. How? I made sacrifices.
Health care is a basic human necessity....like food, housing, and clothing. Too many people walk around with cell phones, and have lavish cable TV subscriptions, not to mention a refrigerator full of beer, and yet whine on about not being able to afford health insurance.

If you read, clearly, most of these threads on Healthcare - posters will say that "people are being denied healthcare" - an untrue statement -please, read clearly. I am pointing out that NO ONE is being denied healthcare as some would have you believe. That is my "problem" - people lying to you.
And, in another post - I pointed out where, the subject of this thread - 19 to 29 year olds, can get a quality health insurance policy for under $60 a month (in my area). Yet, while many CAN AFFORD that $60 a month, choose not to acquire health insurance voluntarily.
why dont you read down and see some of those links
If I had kids I would have qualified under one of the family plans, or if I was a women saying I was planning on having a kid I could have qualified
And, if you are single with income below the guidelines, you would have qualifed.
