A minority of the people require the most expensive health care. People who work in health care need incentive to do it. Economics are a big part of the problem. Large HMO's, Pharmacy industries, and Insurance companies are the one's getting rich. The health care providers are not, well a few are, but not most.

So you smoke all your life and suddenly expect my tax dollars to pay for your lung transplant? You weigh 300 pounds and suddenly it is my responsibility to pay for your knee replacement? You drive drunk and are involved in an MVA, spend 3 months in ICU and have a head injury that requires life long nursing care and I should pay for that? You sneak into the US illegally and I should pay for your complicated OB care and the 4 months in ICU for your premature baby? You live on bagles and cream cheese and chips all your life and I should pay for your Fem-pop by-pass? You are a diabetic and don't care for yourself so now I should pay for your dialysis and subsequent kidney transplant. The list goes on... Where does it stop. Well I guess you could say that because of the color of your skin that your ancestors never had a choice to come to this country so it is my fault that you are the way you are and so I should have to pay for your free health care. I don't buy it. Like someone else said, life ain't fair, wear a helmet.
