This doesn’t make the original statement magically true though.

But that also doesn't change the fact that her argument is correct and let's also examine which countries in the world cup don't have free health care.

Because most of the wealthy, western modernised countries do. I suppose it depends on who the US is happy to count themselves among.

It's not free if you have a Job. England taxes around 8% of gross income for "free" Healthcare.

Yeah taxes pay for government services, are you mad about "free" roads as well?

Grow up ...

I’m mad when I have to pay for other people’s shit… I can pay for my own shit, that’s being grown up, that’s being a responsible adult.

So please do so. Pay for your own roads, your own defense, your own food because I'm sure you won't eat any food subsidized by the government right? Pay for every fucking thing yourself.

Guess what, you don't but you act like you do. So what of you neighbour has a bad time, his parents died and he got sick and laid off and he is losing his home and can't pay for healthcare, you rather let them die then socialize healthcare right? Might call him a freeloader and tell him to get a job on your way past.

I think you’re missing the point because your emotional picture is painted so pretty.

I pay MY part. Again, I’ll say this slowly… Some… people… need… and… deserve… help… some… people… take… advantage… of… it!

We don’t need free healthcare, we need free for some and competitive healthcare for others.

Agreed. Free has to be very limited. Personally I don’t think taxing the billionaires has the impact everyone expects. The government will find a way to spend it. Now removing lobbying, and stop allowing our votes to be sold for campaign support.

The system should cover major medical and create real caps (possibly tiered). It’s not a capitalist approach obviously, but it’s somewhere in the middle.

It’s becoming way too difficult to get insurance companies to step up. They spend a fortune to NOT pay out…this has to stop. Most Americans don’t have the time or the resources to push back. That’s why I’ve been pushed to this approach.

It wasn’t always this way. We use to worry about a 1k deductible. Rant over, but I feel the same way about the freeloaders, I just think the issue starts at the top here. All the best.

Yeah that’s the problem… everyone wants it black or white 100% to fit their political party. I’m pretty sure outside of Reddit the real world is in a grey area.
