“The government doesn’t subsidize anything. We, the taxpayers, do. Once again, I would be required to not only pay for my own health care but a bunch of other peoples. I’m tired of paying for other peoples free stuff.”
I don’t know the answer to this. I didn’t like the system before obamacare and I like it less with obamacare.
However we were covering the poor the young and the elderly before obamacare. That’s probably half of our population. I think the system did need reform... Just not the way it was done. As far a covering illegals is concerned, that’s a separate problem. They shouldn’t be here anyway, and their native country should be billed for their coverage and any handouts they get from the taxpayer.
You might say that they wouldn’t pay, but if they trade with us or get foreign aid, we can make them pay... Just deduct it from what we pay them.
I have been on a government health plan since I turned 65 (medicare plus VA), and although I have retirement insurance through the company I worked for all my life, the company insurance is as intrusive as medicare.
The bottom line is that we are not going to let people who are in this country die because of no insurance and I don’t think we should. That’s just a reality. We are, regardless of what obama thinks, a Christian nation.
I am tired of paying for other peoples stuff. Their health care, their food, their housing, their education and everything else they want for nothing. If we are a christian nation, let the churches and various other charities pay for it. I’m done.
