$56k a year as a single individual ain't poor.
people are not being robbed form, they get health insurance in return. even if they don't want health insurance, they will inevitably need health care.
were you aware that the PPACA mandates how much insurers have to spend on things that actually help patients rather than administrative costs? it doesn't appear you understand this little detail either.
What is it when money is forcefully taken from you? its being robbed.
and what do you get in return? health care!
It also appears that you don't understand that this is all a fantastic ideological dream world you are living in were rainbow sprinkles fall from they sky and everyone does what their supposed to, we all share money and dance w/ glee and everyone is treated fairly right? This piece of paper will make our wildest dreams come true thanks to big pharama and special interest who love us so much, I especially love the part where Nebraska randomly gets a couple million dollars because of some backroom deal. Gimme a break, Ill put ObamaCare on the shelf right next to my Tony Robbins DVD's in the section under B for Bullshit
Forcefully taking money from someone is robbing them, no matter if you give them something or not, its robbing them, quit avoiding that fact. Its funny how you wrote healtcare...we have healthcare with or without being robbed and with or without insurance. Health Care IS NOT health insurance, it doesn't surprise me that you fail to recognize that fact.
Change the word Insures to "Cares for" and the answer would be any country that "pays less than we do per capita AND has no individual mandate" (and has the resources - hospitals, doctors, medicine, etc..)
Oh, I get it. Like when Guido and Knuckles come into my business and ask me to pay them to protect my business from......... them?
It works that way because the government that is supposed to protect it's citizens, sold their collective souls to the insurance companies. I know you know that at one time, people would pay for the routine medical costs, out of pocket. When people have to pay for things, they shop around and they make sure of what they are buying, competition keeps costs affordable. High deductibles and only covering catastrophic illness/injury keeps the insurance affordable, too. But noooooo, we need the government protect us.
I think he is banging the wife. Give him 3-5 minutes.
which brings me to my issue!
Do what the USA does, take out more and more loans, when you have to start paying the bill on one, get another much bigger loan to cover all the smaller ones plus money to spend on consumption. Deficits don't matter, ask Dick Cheney. Don't worry, you can pay it all off when you get that really good job.
Indeed, she controls her body. She also controls what her body does. But of course, when she's pregnant, she's in control of 2 bodies. If one body is endangering the other, well, then hard decisions must be made. But that isn't typical so I don't see why anyone should have the ability to terminate another persons life if they feel it will make their own situation more convenient.
The government owns your money too. See: Forced taxation.
