Does anyone question the financial implications of national health care? Our country is currently over $10 trillion dollars in debt, and it looks like we’ll be at a MINIMUM doubling that over the next 10 years. Unfortunately they don’t require basic financial courses in school anymore, but here’s a thought: debt must be paid back.

National health care will just be another nail in the coffin for the inevitable bankruptcy of our nation. It pisses me off that every month I pay for social security and Medicare and will get NONE of it once I reach an age that it should be paid back. The last thing I want is a government providing the health services I need or want – they have no clue how to do anything properly.

And for those who use public schools, roads, etc. as an argument FOR health care, my question to them – are you kidding me? That’s the exact reason we have state and local governments. They are MUCH better at determining the aggregate needs of their societies than the federal government.

As others have stated, should food and shelter be provided by the government as well as a “right”? If not, why not? No one has answered this question, and both are more important to health than health care.

I was raised in a single parent household and that single parent just happened to be my mother. She was on her own when i was only six months old and yet i got everything i needed, including health care. If you think suggesting women aren’t capable of taking care of themselves will win support for Obama’s government takeover of healthcare, you’re probably in for a rude awakening.

Ain’t nobody here but us libertarians.

The Conservative gazed upon the poor woman and replied “No. Woman. All human beings have a right to life. Go and have your baby and forget about an abortion”

So the woman had her baby.
The baby was born gravely sick.
It needed a doctor and expensive medical care.
So the woman returned to the Conservative Republican
“Oh wise one. My baby is sick. My child needs expensive medical care. Can you help me.”
The Conservative lectured the woman sternly:
“Heath care is not a right. It is no ones fault but your own if you can’t afford the pay”

The newborn child died after much suffering

’cause yer tea cup chihuahuas are manly critters?

Or heaven forbid that som private competition might be introduced into the system, and then the political game becomes one of I’ll-bite-my-nose-to-spite-my-face-ism rather than liberalism, and descends into a pretty open game of class warfare. No user fees or private competition can be allowed, because there will be two systems, one for the rich, and one for the poor.

When I quit drinking this logic became especially frustrating, as I realized that despite my modest means, my disposable income could (in theory, if I was allowed to use it in such a manner) enable me to jump a queue and enjoy the private option, if such an option were on the table.

Standard poodles pull perfectly masculine sentry duty, could rip the flesh off you nothing doing and are the smartest domestic breed, but they’re pretty damned funny-looking; hence the blouse.
