I'm 50 years old, have no bills, no debts. I have a good nest egg where I can quit work today and live off the interest. I work today because I need the health care.
But if Hillary gives us free health care, I would no longer have to work and pay taxes. I could live at home, and have you pay my health care. This would remove the shackles of work for me, and I would life off of your generosity.
Not having to work would also give me more time to go to the doctor to get those little things taken care of, that are too expensive for me now.
The more I think about it, the more I like other people paying for my health care.
Am I wrong, or do you plan to quit work when you get guaranteed free health care?

For those who think I will have to pay, or my taxes would go up, I will no longer have an income nor will I be eligible to collect social security. I would be in every category, a poor person.
Not only would I pay nothing in taxes, I would expect Hillary to pay for my health care insurance. The poor shouldn't have to make a choice between food and health.
And to those who think I'm joking, I'm not. I would much rather sit at home than work if others think it's honorable to pay for my life.

It is not free, taxes will have to go up to pay for it and your nest egg fixed income will not be excused, it will be taxed as well so you will get less.

Something given has no value. You seem to be responsible you have no debt, you saved some money for retirement etc. The problem is many people who Hillary care would cover have zero value to society. Under her plan we have to help out drug users who are always in the emergency room for their stupidity, we have to give irresponsible teen moms even more money because they were stupid. Bacially the only reason why Hillary care is even proposed is because the majority of the people who would benifit from it, are the same people who right now do not have enough maturity to pay for their own medical bills which forces the rest of us to foot our own and their bill. Basically Hillary care rewards those who do not want to take responsibility.

Under her plan you would have to buy your own private health care coverage, It would be cheaper than now because when everyone is covered the premiums would not penalized those with coverage because of those without.
PS. You are clearly a slanderer and a distorter because no where in her plan does the government give you anything.

If the government gives you something, the rest of us pay for it.
There is no such thing as "free" anything - everything you can get, you have to pay for - - - the question is only whether you have any choice in the matter.

I am assuming you are being sarcastic. God help us if Hillary gets into the presidency. She hates the military and we will be doomed to another attack. She will just be inviting the attack. Back to your question. Democrats are pesky and underhanded. They will get you hooked on "free" health care and then - BOOM - you are a slave to them. You have no incentive to pay for your own and you feel "entitled" to "free" health care.
