I won't! If you want to be a responsible citizen you will take care of yourself and your family, no matter what it takes.

Remember, every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.

I do not agree with those who would keep others dependent and enslaved. I feel independence is a wonderful gift that takes a lot of hard work to achieve.

i think of that's their way of growing to be a clean Democrat vote casting base... I even have an commentary. In July, Obama is on checklist of asserting there are 40 seven million uninsured in u . s . a . of america. final evening, there have been basically 30 million uninsured. What got here approximately to the 17 million? i think of they are exaggerating the uninsured numbers.. that's in all possibility nearer to ten-15 million, with 4 million picking to no longer purchase coverage.

Because I'm already paying for my neighbors health care. My health care cost have gone up really, really high.

Most Americans have jobs, work hard, but have NO health care. So, they go to the emergency room, hospital can't turn them away, so the cost keeps getting passed on to those with health care.

Health care cost and service is in the toilet, something has to change and and universal health care would be a start.

All first world countries have it even the ones that Republicans swear they will run away to if Hillary wins the presidential election

I agree with you there.
But when you really think about the problem, it lies with profit and greed and the insurers and pharmas.
I get a huge amount deducted from my paycheck every two weeks for healthcare. They won't pay for certain drugs or procedures, even if they are related to my health and contributing to it deteriorating.
And pharmaceutical companies are still allowed to hold patents for 10 years or more on drugs so no generic can be made. How did this happen?
If these candidates wanted to fix healthcare, they would start with profit and greed, not with making a national healthcare plan that most people won't be able to afford anyway. And it will still be limited.

I agree with Sahara.. I actually went door to door canvassing on universal health care in my state WI. Now the whole goal was to allow every business small or big to join a pool. Only people who weren't already covered by government ran programs ex. Medicare and Badger care could join the pool. It requires all employers and employees to pay their fair share ( paid for like social security except the more people involved the less you pay individually) This would cover anyone working in the state and was the same health care plan our politicians have. It stopped Insurance from making record profits bc they are increasing premiums faster than the average wage increase. It was very enlightening experience because I talked to all different walks of like from: Senior Citizens, Single moms, Working families and even upper class and they all new our current health care system was broken. They also understood that this problem does effect us all. People fail to see that even if we stay with this broken system, taxes will continue to increase bc more and more Americans are becoming uninsured for so many reasons. Every time someone goes to the emergency room and doesn't pay their bills,....do you know who pays for it? Tax payers so I don't see your logic on this topic. Universal health care is the only answer to this problem. We need our politicians to start working for us and not this billion dollar corporations..We put them in office they should work for us!

Do you go door to door asking your neighbors to pay for you education or your childs education?
NO
I didn't think so.

Also I think you have a mis understanding about the healthcare plans currently proposed by the democratic candidates? You really should look more into the individual plans.

Btw, though Hillary's plan does mandate that everyone have some form of Health insurance coverage it in no way states when you can receive care. Actually her plan only calls for an expansion of our current system.

because those things are not mututally exclusive.

believe it or not we could have a democratic president and NOT have government funded universal healthcare.... i'm not sure if you know this... but there HAVE been democrats as president before...and we still don't have universal healthcare.

the democratic candidates i like don't have a plan for government funded universal healthcare.

if you'd read their positions...you'd realize that they want privately funded universal healthcare. if EVERYONE was guarantee to be covered... the costs would go WAY down.. just the same way as Auto Insurance (your required to purchase it...and the more people who have auto insurance the cheaper it is)

So I won't have to go door to door asking my neighbors to help pay for my health care.

why have a government at all if not to protect lives, and health of its citizens. id rather pay for health care for my neighbor, than invade foreign nations.

Would you help your neighbor pay for their health if they could not afford it? I would if I could afford to help them.
