here is the argument for nationalized universal healthcare in a nutshell. the childish innocence and greed of the cult of entitlement.

no one ever turned down a free lunch. it sure would be nice if society paid to feed and clothe my children, if someone else would take care of all my needs from the cradle to the grave.

Just like you guys can't understand why we pay all the tax for this service, and let the government run it....
i suppose that your government is free from the corruption and inefficiencies that plague the rest of the world. i suppose that you don't have to concern yourself with the loss of freedoms that allowing government into every facet of your life leads to. it must be wonderful to be able to trust your government so completely that you needn't worry about what direction they will take your life.

I don't understand why you don't see the shit in having to pay for medical treatment for say, an accident. Say you're injured in a car wreck..you go to the hospital and get fixed, but you come out with a bill. That right there is complete bullshit....
having to pay for a service is bullshit? i guessed i missed that part of the lesson on what growing up is all about. children may consider life a wonderful free for all, but any reasonable adult knows that there is a price to pay for everything.

Your declaration of independence gives you the "right" to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
yes, the right to life. no one ever guaranteed a long life or a happy life or a life free from the sorrows that are a part of all human existence.

...small stuff...for free. I don't have to worry about paying, so what is the harm in getting care if I can.
again, your glee at getting something for nothing is apparent. the fact that you are not entitled to the fruits of someone else's labor seems to have totally escaped your attention.

In the states its crazy that you have to pay....
having to pay for the better things in life is all a part of taking responsibility for yourself. with no personal responsibility comes no freedom to control your own destiny.

Call us compassionate, I guess
here is the big lie. somehow it is considered compassionate to be forced to care for others. compassion implies a charitable nature and charity by legislation is theft, not compassion.

Question about Nationalized Universal Healthcare There was recently a very lively debate about the different healthcare plans of the two candidates in the Obama and McCain "change" poll threads. And after thinking so much about healthcare policy, I had a question I would like to pose to the canncom community: Why aren't corporate interests the ones pushing hardest for nationalized healthcare? In the US, about 60% of Americans get healthcare insurance through their employers, with the company picking up a large part of the cost. A Rating: 5
