To Europeans, U.S. Universal Health Care Is Long Overdue

[Rey C.]

You know why I hate universal health care - because I have to pay for it. No, not for me, but for somebody else. My taxes are going up so that somebody else can get their fucking health care. I don't give a shit about anybody else. If you can't afford your own fucking medical care, then you don't deserve to be treated. It's not my fucking job to provide for some gutter trash and her six children. I take care of myself and so should everybody else.

I think I remember reading that you're a teacher? Hopefully you teach in a private school, because otherwise, you're living in the void of your own argument. I've been in real estate for a number of years. And over the course of that time, I've paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in property taxes in various localities around the U.S. Depending on the area, the better part of that money has gone for public education... including teacher salaries.

I don't have children. I don't plan on having children. But if I did, odds are I would send them to private school. When I was engaged, it was to a girl getting her Masters in Education - so she was going to home school any kids we had, if we didn't opt for a private school. But in any case, using your logic, why should people like me have to pay for public school teacher salaries, when we don't have children, or if we'd send our kids to private school?

If I had all the money in my account that has gone to education (through property taxes) over the years, I'd surely have enough to buy a Bentley GT... with enough still left over to send any kid I might have to Harvard. So why should I have to pay taxes to pay for people who can't afford private school, or who don't have the skill set to properly home school their own kids??? And even worse, why am I paying for pensions and helath care for public school teachers?!

I got mine. Let them get theirs. Right?

Europeans can shut their pie holes. :tongue:

Next time someone invades your country don't look for America to send in the troops. Dig your own graves.

England and France will be Islamic countries soon enough. :hatsoff:

NO! You're missing the point. I already pay for health insurance. I have a medical plan through my job. I don't need this shit. But my taxes will pay for other people to have it. That's the point. See my last post for my thoughts on helping them.

Yeah! You tell them!

It's the leeches of society that this helps not the hard working middle class.

It will hurt them the most.

I don't see this being over for awhile. The Democrats who voted for this garbage are getting death threats and will be gone in November.

Hopefully this will be repealed. Not that I have any hope in politicians.

The fact is most people and businesses can't afford this and many will not pay for this. I know I'm not going to be forced to buy health care.

My God, for the first time ever, you are right. It is about our choice. It is about our freedom. It is about the fundamental principle of the CITIZEN deciding what happens in this country through the voices of elected officials, NOT the other way. You're damn right if I want to end up in a gutter, it is my CHOICE to do so. You're damn right that if I CHOOSE to protect myself with health care, I will do so. This whole debate is not about health care....it is about the freedoms we are losing to a faceless and power hungry government no longer by and for the people.

You asked your wife's uncle, one guy, and don't even understand that while you tried to spin what he said to "prove" your point, you and he showed exactly why this is considered a travesty over here.

Yes, it is our choice, not the politicians who are not listing to us and last time this happened a war broke out.

So, this better be repealed, because it is unconstitutional. :ak47:

Once again, you have no fucking clue what you are talking about. You don't fucking live here. Enjoy your socialistic lifestyle....many here are hard at work figuring out how to fight this monstrosity, but I don't expect you to know/understand that because, again, you don't fucking live here.

Europeans don't know what they are talking about.

That's why Islam is taking over their countries.

Sharia law is next. :tongue:

If the politicians don't get it they do now.

Bricks through their windows, phone calls, death threats, and so on.
They need to wake up and listen to, We the people.
