46 Million Americans without health care, you know any?

Question

Some of the more right wing answer gurus here have posted that the 46 million Americans without health care may be in that situation by choice and are waiting for the government to bail them out. I think that is a self centered insulated point of view.

So have you had an honest American friend or family member who by no "choice" of their own suffer a serious illness or loss due to no healthcare?

Answer 1

what can justify,other than pure greed, the suffering of sick and hopeless people?why can we spend billions in Iraq and around the world to support?and "help" other worthless 2 bit dictators and brainwashed idiots who are too narrow minded to help themselves?when that money[taxes] can be and should be used to make everyday life better and make the quality of life better when we have the technology and availability but not the moral correctness to do what is right? are you listening Presidential candidates?? or is it business as usual?

Answer 2

That's correct. Many of these people are without healthcare insurance by choice. They would rather have expensive cars, cell phones, computers with high speed internet and big screen TV's. And I know some of them. Their priorities are what is self-centered, NOT the fact that a "right winger" has called them on it.

Answer 3

Some of the "more right wing answer gurus" do not have health care, genius.

Mymadsky answered Dude's question perfectly, and Mymadsky is a moderate.

Go back and look. He pays $1800 a month for medical insurance. For his healthy family. Sorry, make that $1918.

Some of us choose to save that $1800 per month. It's called being self-employed. And not depending on the government for a bail-out.

This is a complex issue for Americans. Do not blame it on Republicans.

EDIT: Thanks for the hate mail. I'll share my reply with everyone: I am self-employed, and a single mom. I have a child with epilepsy. And $30k in medical bills. Not wanting a government fix. Thanks.

Answer 5

Look in the Constitution, there is no "right to healthcare"

Are you claiming to know something the Founders didn't?

We've gotten along just fine since 1776 without it, no need to create it now.

I know hundreds of working people, and every single one of them has health insurance.
Many young Yuppies make enough money that they don't care about health insurance.
The others are on welfare and we pay for their health care, anyway.
Communists are using the health care issue as an excuse for socialized medicine, a complete and udder failure.

Answer 8

46 million Americans without healthcare insurance is a national shame.

I know plenty of people without health insurance, and the debts are staggering. At least in Europe, it's something its citizens don't have to worry about.

It's just another day in the richest nation on Earth.

Answer 9

They are without health care because of ambulance chasing trial lawyers like Democratic Presidential candidate John Edwards who has made millions off of suing hosiptals and insurance companies. These costs are then passed on to the consumers and businesses.
So you want socialized medicine? Heard of Walter Reed? Best example of socialized medicine in action!
