i agree

health insurance is a luxury not a right

if you can afford it.....you dont have it

just like a car or a house

i don't know. there are plenty of cases where people don't have the means to pay, and not because they are lazy.

those are the same people that rent an apt instead of owning a house

if you cant afford it.....you dont get it

thats the way it works

Millions are off their asses working and still cant afford it, its outrageous. I know. How about we take the billions we spend in Iraq each month and put it towards something positive. So you want to pay for killing ppl but not helping them?

There are 27,000 people who die each year, because they are not insured or cant pay and all of which are preventable. Do a little research before you make a comment like that.

Renting an apt is different from dying from something that can be prevented easily.

Just because that is the way it is right now, doesnt mean its right.

yes

because if you dont kill these terrorist bastards they will kill more americans

even if you have health insurance the odds of you surviving a terrorist bombing arent good

so as an american i see it as necessary to protecting our homeland

do you think that everybody should be given a house too instead of having some people rent an apt?

same thing

driving a luxury suv b/c you can, and walking everywhere b/c you can't afford a car. that's one thign.

but not going to the doctor because you cannot afford it is another.

my mom is a widow and has been a single mom for ten plus years. she has a thyroid condition, and used to get care for it. she still has that, and a bunch of other things ailing her, but she had to drop her insurance and now she can't afford to go get the care she needs.

but i guess she doesn't deserve it huh?

i will guarantee you that if i call 911 right now sayin i am haveing a heart attack that an ambulance will be at my doorstep promptly and i will be at the hospital in a short amount of time and be taken care of. They do NOT ask well sir do you have health insurance. and if you dont then they say sorry and hang up and forget about you

[BlueWahooChambordDevil]

its not a question of deserving it or not

its an issue of being able to afford it or not

if you cant afford it you dont get it

plain and simple
