There has been a lot of shit going on regarding the health care debate and how the dems are sticking to one side and the gop to another.
I think we do need some kind of universal health care but they also need to have regulations for insurance companies.. I mean how can a company make 2 billion in profit but complain that they need to raise premiums because healthy people are dropping insurance because of the recession.
How do you feel?

I think all insurance companies should give back what money the individual doesn't spend after so many years. Say I have insurance for 5 years and never spend a penny of it, they should give me something back. I think insurance companies are all scams. I mean, it is good to have insurance in some situations, but how many people have insurance and never use it? I can't remember the last time I went to the hospital, and I have never been in a car accident. All that money I have spent on insurance got pocketed by someone though. Shit isn't right in my book.

Universal health care isn't all it's cracked up to be. At least you guys have a choice. Up here, the government just ass rapes your pay check to support people who abuse the system. I've been to the hospital/doctor once in the past 8 years, and even then I didn't make it past the triage nurse.
I'd rather have the $15,000 the bitches took in taxes last year...

I agree with Bama in that if you don;t use your premiums, you should get it back and I beleive with Reaper on how it ass rapes you. For me who works in health care or used to work after i got laid off, I see how the rich use health care as well as the poor. I believe that as Americans health care should be a priority in where we are all entiteld to free health care. BUT, the whole system needs to be overhauled and it will cost money, because the system we currently have is BROKEN and there is rampant abuse with it. I think if we can spend 170 billion in defense, 70 billion a month in Iraq, then we can afford to focus on our country first and fix all fuckery that is going on. As for the person who smokes, abuses drugs, doesn't take care of their body should they be entiteld??? Not really, but they should still have that entitlement as the next person but with caution. As for the immigrants, that is a another story. Immigration built this country, take care of our lawns, children, serve and process our food all for pennies onthe dollar. They should get something in return??? Yes, but I don't have the answer to that.

Here's something to stew over. We've been paying our veteran's health insurance since WW1. So either people are saying that we are giving second rate health care to our vet's, or they're pulling the wool over my eyes about universal health care!

There is definitely some fuckery going on. It's all about the lobbyist and shit. It could be the best plan in the world and if the insurance co. thinks they will lose just a bit of money they will bribe all these other fucks to shoot it down.. talk about the most corrupt. I was thinking this morning how our states went to war to rid ourselves of the europeans but at the same time if you try that now your a terrorist.

Its all about the money, insurance companies are making steady profits, while people who do have insurance and pay for it are getting denied life saving operations. So if these companies are making a killing off our backs, why do you think they will do anything in their power to keep the policies the way they are. This is the richest country in the world, but if you do not have the money you cannot even see a Dr., how does that work?

Damm, it's all for-profit companies.. they just want to make as much money as they can for their shareholders. Thats the way america is now. Instead of doing the right think for the people you serve, it's instead how can i make the most money for me.
