The OP is saying what I've said many times- the poor do not understand economics as well as the rich: buying big rims for a car and a large flat screen instead of health insurance is a prime example of the economic stupidity we are dealing with in the USA, and now they want me and my kids to pay for that stupidity. And you agree with those rim buying flat screen short sighted idiots and even go so far as to say you are one of them?  |
You know, you could have actually read what I posted. No one gets anything for free in this system, and not only that, you are already paying for them and their nasty old chrome rims down at the ER. This system provides a method to develop a revenue stream directly from these people, and gets them out of the ER in the process. Believe it or not, most poor people actually do work, and they actually have funds withheld from their paychecks, and thanks to various Earned Income Credits, they also usually get a nice tax return. That's where the money for these accursed welfare queens and boom-box minions is going to come from, right now it is coming out of your pocket! At the county hosipital! Dig it?
I am amazed that obviously intelligent people are falling for the illogical, politically driven crap that is eminating from the right. The facts are stark. We pay 15 to 18% of our GNP, money that could be going to modernize our manufacturing base and improving our competiveness, in healthcare costs, while the rest of the world is paying 8%. Period. Black and white. We pay too much. End of story. The greedy bast*rds making the easy money don't want the gravy train to stop, and they have millions to pour into Tea Baggers and TV, so that it doesn't. Duplication of effort, unnecessary bureacracy, unnecessary repetitive state regulations, treatment of minor health problems and chronic diseases in ER's, etc, and you are all worried and suffering great angst over a set of $3700 rims some moron put on a $700 dollar car. I got news for you, that moron already has you paying big money to fix his last stab wound, down at the ER. The real problem isn't getting money from people who can't or won't pay, that's the problem we already have and are attempting to solve. The real problem is a trillion dollars a year of mis-directed capital going down the toilet, and into the pockets of people who are doing great while the rest of the country is being taken for twice the scratch people in other country are paying, and you think we should do nothing, absolutely nothing to change it, because somebody has convinced you that if it does, some crackhead might rip you off for a bandaid. Amazing.
