Why should you know anything about anyone?

Maybe you should take that into account before you make 'suggestions' to people you know nothing about.

Why should I hold back my opinions when things are being discussed? When asked I will respond. I have no responibility to hold back my opinion when people enquire. "Where is my helmet?" This is a question.

Whatever you say...moron.

I just felt the need to share my opinion with you.

So why does that make me a moron anymore than you?

It doesn't make you anything. It's just what I think of you.

Well in this case, I'm quite happy to give the floor to him...or even you lj.

Its not the United States government's job to spare no expense to keep everyone alive as long as possible. Sorry.

And if you make doctors government employees then our health care system will end up looking like our education system. Yep, everybody gets an education. The exact same education. Whether you live in Westchester, NY or Selma, Alabama.

You want government-provided health care? Its available. Its called the United States Military. But generals still get better treatment than privates.

Stop wanting stuff for free. Just stop it.

Not necessarily for free Beestie. In the UK we have the NHS and that delivers treatment 'free at the point of need', but we've all paid for it. We've paid for it in taxes and we've paid for it with National Insurance contributions. Even the very poor, make a small contribution (very small) out of their benefit payments. It isn't a perfect system by any means, but it seems much fairer to me. The wealthy usually pay and get themselves private treatment for some stuff, but interestingly, they rarely use private General Practitioners: for routine stuff they usually use the same system everybody else uses, because it's a good service and because they, like everyone else have already paid a small contribution to it.

Getting back to the point.

I like Happy Monkey's analogy better, so...

How is it different? Ton of money for medical, or you die. Ton of money to help you from falling off a cliff, or you die.

And your taxes are out of this world. Your death tax on estates is even worse. VAT is bad enough. We don't want more taxes. I don't want 50% of my pay going to fund health care.
