You are ALREADY paying for this shit now. Who do you think covers the 50 million uninsured people in America??? WE ALL FUCKING DO.

It is not like you stupid motherfucking people that don't purchase insurance never get sick or need care. So when you have to run to the emergency room for every little god damn thing or something terrible happens to you we all flip the fucking bill. Thanks a lot you broke, lazy ass motherfucker!! Cancel your fucking internet, cable tv, mobile phone and stop wasting your money on stupid fucking shit if you don't have your shit together and stop your fucking whining.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH.... I feel better now.

at least give me a fucking option, christ. that's all i'm saying. is that it's not right to be stripped of a choice.

i meant more directly than that or in greater amounts.

several facts:

1) automobile insurance is mandatory in this country.
2) i don't have automobile insurance.
3) i drive on a regular basis.
4) i realize that what i am doing is risky.
5) i never try to justify it by saying "I'M NOT GOING TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT. even if i did get in an accident i wouldn't go to a mechanic."

It's funny that Satan says she's not going to get sick but, if I remember correctly, she's constantly on pain killers and the like. INDESTRUCTIBLE HEALTH FOREVER!

about vehicle insurance-- people who have too many accidents are offered policies that are unaffordable. so you can quit driving and take the bus or take cabs or have someone give you a ride-- some break the law and drive without insurance.

you don't have that option with your life. well, you could say "hey, my fucking cancer has raised my premiums to $20K a month, so i think i'll eat a bullet now".

sure a lot of health care is self-inflicted and people could use some incentives to exercise, eat right, lose weight, etc. but a lot of it is random and fucking tragic and this IS a moral issue, not just a business one. you can't throw people to the dogs just because they are not in perfect condition.

about the government not getting more involved, i disagree-- i fear big business more than i fear the government. the government may be flawed, but health insurance companies are fucking vultures with no interest whatsoever in the public good. they just want money, and it's profitable for them to take money and deny you coverage or find some other way to fuck you or your doctor.

this post deserves to be read twice. It says it all. Why does big business get away with murder? because the repubs and dems are in their pockets. The only thing that is going to really fix this country is a third party that is truly independent and not behold to someone for the cash to get elected

i'm quitting my job. i know how i'll be making my money for the rest of my life now. thanks obama. prick.

do we already have a thread about this? fuck it. this is the thread now.

don't be so naive. the rest of the developed, and even many countries of the developing world all contribute this way for healthcare.. it is the most efficient system available.. I mean, come on, the american way has failed millions of people.. I can't get healthcare because I work part-time and under the table, as do MILLIONS of people ages 16-30..
I would love to go the dentist and fix some of my teeth before I have to reluctantly let them all fall out and fuck up. I would love to go take care of some serious health problem I have at the moment, but there is no $$$. and if I wanted to somehow buy a healthcare plan, it would point blank cost me TWICE as much cash money as these govt plans are proposed to cost.

its a fucking shame.

I say, people like you are being the pricks.. what is so wrong with public health care? after all, if the sick people are left to fend for themselves, it brings down our ENTIRE society collectively.. have a heart please :)
