Government's role in your healthcare

It will get heated. Can't take it, don't open the forum.

Freedom means people have choices. Choices are not without problems.

If someone chooses to not work and not have insurance, and thus cannot afford care, is that really an issue society needs to tackle?
yeah, people should have choice. people have the choice to not hire someone on to work. does that mean that someone is choosing not to work?
Yes. I have never heard of a single situation where an unemployed person was doing whatever it takes to find work.

Don't get me wrong, I hear plenty of half-assed tales where someone is "doing their best", which is obviously not enough.

Three types of people:

1. Those who try
2. Those who do their best
3. Those who do whatever it takes
fair enough. those people are making the choice to starve and die. that's a choice that someone would make for themselves.
Amazing how easily people will let go when there is a safety net under them and how hard they hold on when there isn't.
has society become like the ledge of a building, then? i hope there's no tweety bird. :P

Society has become a cesspool of people lounging in the safety net and riding around walmart in scooters.

I firmly believe Foo is going to roundhouse kick some poor old fuck off his scooter while shopping at Wal Mart some day. It's on his mind in some capacity. :lol:

More likely the young fuck who should be walking. The last thing most of those people need is exercise avoidance.

I feel like my version of SJW might be interesting. Confronting people who park in the fire lane of markets, people who do not return the cart to the corral, people who stand their wide body next to their shopping cart and then act all surprised when your loud ass cart needs to get by them, etc.

Also, if you get healthcare, maybe you could try maternity leave. One day it might be as good to be a mother in the US as it currently is in Swaziland.
I can work or not work any day I like. I don't need the government to give me permission. I am not begging the government to save me.

Are we men who control our destiny or are we sheep awaiting the slaughter? Your version of civilization is being a sheep in a bigger cage, but it is still a cage to those used to freedom. If you are used to being reliant upon society to pay for you, society paying for more is pretty appealing. Like the sheep getting an extra scoop of food from the farmer.
what freedoms do you have, that seb does not have?
I don't have to ask the government for healthcare. If I need a surgery or medicine, the government does not decide if I get it.
Sounds like me too so far.
