Concept of universal health care relic from Communism

Abstract:
Universal health care is one of the worst ideas of all time. Universal health care is a system by which tax money is used to give health care for everyone who doesn't have it via a job or some other means. To put it in more realistic terms, it means that hardworking people who pay taxes are required to pay for a huge number of irresponsible people, a huge number of vain or hypochondriac people and a small handful of people who genuinely need help....

I totally agree with your arguments. I live in Canada. Healthcare plan does not cover neither for eye treatment nor dental care or dentistry; crucial needs so to speak. That is incredibly outrageous to take money out of my pocket, to pay a double tax to help those who are weak and poor. This is authoritarianism and it always fails to meet the real need.

Hi, my name is Alexandria German. You can call me Alex if you're too lazy to say my full name. Thank you very much. I am a freshman, and I attend Richwoods High School in Peoria, Illinois. I strongly think that health care should not become universal due to the fact that the uninsured need to get a life. It's their problem if they have no health care. They need to find a way. And putting it in government hands is the worst idea possible. We're already in bad hands with the president, who has payed only for the troops in Iraq, and for nuclear study. Anyways, if you want to talk with me about any questions or comments you have, please e-mail me at alexraie@aol.com, or you can simply add my myspace: www.myspace.com/smily07. Thanks.

hey alex, this is audrey. im a freshman and i go to richwoods also! anyways, i totally disagree with what u just said. we should have universal health care so that dirty sluts like me who get pregnant 24/7 should be able to go to the hospital and deliver the babies. i have basically no money in my family to help pay and my dad has molested me too many times. my mother spanks my ass everyday. im in love with koby, tyler, kyle, lucas, and david already and we have had too many babies. i dont have child care support from any of them or my parents. i dont feel like getting a job because im a fat lazy hoe and people wouldnt hire me for fear that thered be no customers due to the fact how ugly i am. i have freckles and the ugliest red hair ever and i dont even wear a bra. i wear ripped thongs so that its easy to take them off to have sex and fuck the boys i seduce. i dont have money to buys the cigarettes and alchohol i use so i steal them. there are a lot of things i do and cant support myself because of lack of health care so i think that it should be universal!

audrey, we all have the same problems. but they're our own responsibility! to be honest, im a slut. i lost my virginity last year .. in eighth grade. my mother spanks my pussy everyday and my dad fucks my ass. i have had sex with david jordan a million times. im in love with tyler and kyle lott. ive had babies with them already. i buy porn on the internet when my parents arent watching. i steal from stores. i have had a breast enlargement surgery because my boobs were too small. i also had a liposuction and surgery to get rid of all the fat in my stomach and legs. i steal whatever clothes i can from the store because im too poor to go buy stylish clothing. thats why u see me wearing the same shirt every two weeks. im also a lesbian. i buy condoms, ben-wa balls, dildos, and everything else needed. ive gotten my nipples pierced by asking you to do it for me. remember how we had lesbian sex afterward? you even shaved my cunt for me. but yeah, we need to be responsible for our own actions and thats why it shouldnt become a universal health care system.

If someone set their house on fire by careless or neglectful means, should their local fire department not respond? After all, tax dollars pay for emergency services such as fire fighters and other first responders.

One more thing, tax dollars pay for the private sector of health insurance as well, tax-financed government subsidies flow into private for-profit health insurance corporations at an alarming rate.
Ex: All public employee health care benefits are paid for by your tax dollars in the private market.

To claim that health care in the U.S. is currently private is wrong; nearly 60% of our current system is publicly financed, to further assume that health care in other countries is public ignores the prevalence of private practice and private hospitals in those countries.

The false dichotomy you present as an argument against national health care reflects on your own misunderstanding of health care here in the U.S. and abroad.

I realize the majority of your argument is trying feverishly to appeal on a moral level, but this reasoning only serves to comfort your own ideology and is not realistic in the way of public health.

Next time you put all that effort into an article you should do some research first. Here is a good place to start - http://www.pnhp.org/publications/payingnotgetting.pdf

Tell me how men's penis' have nothing to do with abortions? I hope you never need someone's help.
Unemployment, sickness and death do not discriminate.
Not everyone who needs help is irresponsible.

I am totally with you on this one. In fact every other social program we have in this country should be eliminated as well. Why should MY tax dollars that I actually WORKED for go to a failing educational system? It is NOT a right for children to go to school, it's a privilege. If their parents couldn't afford to send them to private school, then they shouldn't have had kids. They'll probably just end up failing classes anyway. Same goes for the fire department... seriously, MY hard earned dollars are going to the retard that left his stove on 30 miles away from me? Last time I checked that was HIS problem and HIS incompetence, not mine.

These arguments are as equally ridiculous as yours. UHC in this country will eventually become a reality when slow witted people like you finally grow up and catch up with the rest of the industrialized world. Or you can continue to stick to McCarthyism, whatever works for your paranoid delusions.

Your view is completely wrong. If you have a health insurance, you also pay money into a big pot which is used to distribute the money among the members who need it. Universal healthcare does nothing else than enlarge this pot so that every citizen participates in this insurance. This distributes the risks and premiums among a much larger number of people. It is a proven fact that a society is more stable and happier if the government can keep inequalities between individual citiziens to a minimum. Universal healthcare achieves this for one very important aspect of life: health.

By the way, universal health care does not have to be provided by the government. If you look at Switzerland, they have a near perfect solution to the problem: Health insurance is mandatory by law, but the insurance companies themselves are private corporations (to avoid the "communism" problem). All the government does is make the rules and subsidize people who can't afford to pay the premiums. So you get a system in which you have competition between insurance companies and everyone is covered for basic health care.
