Hey Democrats, ever thought of this?

Question

That maybe the Republicans support a war but not children's health insurance as a way of helping to control (human) over-population?

On a previous question I stated that my child had government sponsored health care (CHIPS) before. This is true but I had to do plenty of paperwork and still had to renew my son's account, even though absolutely nothing had changed-especially my DISABILITY income-that's pretty much the same, year after year. Still, when my child had to go to the hospital with pneumonia, they wouldn't cover him b/c there was a week left until the new month started! Luckily, I qualified for emergency medicaid (which was only for a month-1! so CHIPS threw out my policy b/c I had other insurance! The policy that refused to cover him for the hospital stay!

Michael S: People like you give cnservatives a bad rep. The govt has paid some form of medical coverage for years, so they've obligated themselves. The hospital bill for a 4 day stay was in the 20,000's+. As a disabled citizen who will be going to college to make sure she can still get a job, how on earth do you think I could pay for that? When I was working, I heard your type all the time whining that x amt is taken out of their paycheck so junkie's could get welfare for having more babies. I see now that it's for illegal immigrants children. If you're so naive as to think there's only one side to an argument, you deserve whatever torment you put yourself through.

Answer 1

Hehe that's an interesting theory, except that I rarely hear Republicans discussing overpopulation as a problem. It's usually environmentalists, who are almost entirely liberals.

Republicans also support the death penalty, so that's another for your theory.

But they hate abortions, so that's a big one against your theory.

I think the problem is that Republicans are just heartless. They'd rather spend money on a war that results in the deaths of American troops than tax smokers to pay for children's health care. 'Compassionate conservative' appears to be an oxymoron.

Answer 2

It is not the government's responsibility to provide health insurance in any way shape or form. The role of the FEDERAL government is defined by the Constitution, and the people are protected by the Bill of Rights. Of our Core Democratic Values I don't believe Health Care, or even health for that matters is one of them.

It's time for people to stop heavy reliance on the Federal Government to take care of themselves or their families. The role of the FEDERAL government should be in no way shape or form to provide health insurance for its citizens. I can just see commercials for the new federal government sponsored Health System: "From the company who brought you USPS (a company being run into the ground by private shipping companies), our failing public schools, FEMA, and Segregation Laws comes the new National Heatlh Care System."

Answer 3

Republicans are against welfare, which has spawned millions of births!

Have you ever thought that maybe war is NECESSARY to prevent MORE deaths in the future. What are Liberals going to do when there is actually a full fledged war and 5,000 or more people die in a single DAY instead of in 5 years??!! Maybe we should ban cars, I think they have killed way more than 5,000 people in five years.

I wish Liberals would get their heads out of their a**es and live in REALITY!

All I can say is THANK GOD this mentality wasn't present during WWII, we'd all be speaking Japanese or German.

Answer 4

maybe some people think that people who make up to 83,000$ can buy their own children insurance and at 25 years old you are no longer a child. sounds like they are just pushing socialized medicine, and who really wants to pay for illegal aliens children to have insurance.

Answer 5

No, Republicans do not like socialism. They are smart enough to realize that if it got Europe in a bind, it will get the USA in the same bind. Just listen to the French President Sarkozy, he is trying to undo some of the damage that socialism has created for that country. I would say that abortion is a better method of population control.

Answer 6

if that was the case, wouldn't we have invaded China instead? They're overpopulated, even with a one-child policy.

I do agree though, that families who make $80,000 a year are not poor and can afford their own health insurance.

Answer 7

The president vetoed the health bill because it extends coverage to families who earn $80,000+ a year. They are not the ones in need of government assistance.

Answer 8

Well that could be true, yet I like to think that democrats and republicans aren't that cold.

I am the most naive thing.

Answer 9

Nope. It wouldn't explain why they oppose abortion and birth control. If they really wanted to control human overpopulation, they'd favor incentives for people not to breed. But they don't.

Nice try, though.

Answer 10

No, I had not thought of that. Unfortunately, Democrats are capable of having the same idea as that.
