It sucks. We have too many freeloaders in this country. That is why we need a single payer system with an option to buy private. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what i meant If you are having a heart attack they will treat you before checking if you have insurance or not because they don't want to risk being sued Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they tell you what their ailments are. I guess they can be. Not sure never knew anyone that had to go to an ER for a headache or a toothache. Wouldnt you go to a dentist?

I dont think itll work with 330 million and than the tourists that come here and get sick and end up in the hospitals as well. Problems all over the place when it comes to health.

TheBlockIsHot Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 @HSFBfan question for you. Would you rather your taxes go to free healthcare for all like Canada and the UK? Or, would you rather NEVER be able to afford insurance, so that your political party cronies and get rich, and you eventually die early. Maybe you like your taxes going to programs for illegals and poor people instead of health insurance for you? Let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a healthcare tax on everything that everyone pays into. So either way your paying. Id rather see the taxes i pay go directly back to me but I guess that will never happen. let me ask you a question. Are you afraid of dying early? serious question.

Or would you rather not have it and have outrageous prices, so your political party can continue to get rich? And no, I am not afraid of dying early. But you cannot control mother nature or predict the future. All you can do is protect yourself as much as possible.

Canada makes everyone and i mean everyone citizens tourists etc to pay into their healthcare by a healthcare tax on food clothes and other items. So it is not free. Also Canada has a smaller population than the state of CA. so why doesnt CA try it first and lets see if it works for you guys.
