    I'm sorry if you think its terrible of me to not want to sacrifice my health care.

    You can get a job for 10 bucks an hour with benefits. No college or experience needed. You have to be a teenager or criminal to be unemployable in a full time position.

    And I do not have a problem with an extended system for helping people who have no health care. More sliding scale clinics or whatever. Especcially for kids. But saying our system sucks and in need of a total overhaul really scares me.

    A national healthcare system can have many forms, Casey.

    It may not be as scary as you think. 'Dual' sytems are quite popular in Europe -- allowing those who choose to continue with a system similar to what you're used to. But somehow...those kids of stoners, (or the stoners themselves) should have access to healthcare that doesn't break them financially.

    Perhaps they should have a stable health plan before having kids?


    once we get over this puritan view of birth control we can make the first step federally funded birth control. It is not a coincidence the rich have less babies and have them later in life.

    and it is precisely the uneven distribution of wealth, or rather its widening chasm, that will break the pax romana. we are broken as a nation, what it means to be american is no longer obvious.

    Yeah, because stating that people should have no access to healthcare if they cannot afford it (sink or swim) is definitely morally superior to wishing everyone had equal access to treatment. :rolleyes:

    Listen to yourself. You complain about the morality of calling someone a douche and in the same post willingly condemn "burger-flippers" to sickness and disease.

    You're an ignorant twit. No go cry about how mean and immoral I am for calling you out on it.

    It is disgusting, that in the richest nation that the world has ever seen, that everyone cannot have access to proper health care. Also, if wanting everyone in our country to be able to go to the doctor or get their teeth cleaned is moral supremacy, then yup, I'm guilty.

    Why does everyone who was lucky enough to be born in a nation where they can work hard and make a life for themselves if they choose have a right to getting top class healthcare without paying for it??

    A national healthcare will

    Not affect the Rich. They will just continue to have insurence and go to whatever doc they want.

    Put the middle class hardworking in the same class as the poor who would not have had insurence. I am against it because it would be yet another shaft to the middle class.

    :confused: Not sure why this matters, even if it is true - which i doubt. But um, yeah - point for donkey?

    Irony and lack of reading comprehension. Delicious.

    If you disagree with Casey - feel free to state as much.

    pretty good movie, I kinda half agreed with him on some parts. The part with all the politicians being bought by the Healthcare Industry was pretty sad, typical stuff. I wanted to punch that "mother" guy.
