Healthcare is a service. People don't have a right to services on other people's dime. Originally Posted by cowboy8055Thank you Ayn Rand, who died on social security while medicare paid for her treatment.
Guess Boogey men knocked the twin towers down right....You speak of worlds you do not know and probably have never and will never see.... You take your safety and security blanket provided by the soldiers of this nation for granted. Would you rather our nation be like Israel where you have to worry every day if the bus your family member is getting on or the mall they are visiting is going to be bombed...

Life is a right yes. No one should take it from you at ANY point. Health Care is not because there is no way to guarantee that there will be the people, resources or knowledge to provide it. If we meld the two than we are just picking who gets to live through care and who doesn't.
Two people are gravely injured. It's possible that if there was enough time and resources I could save both buy, I choose to save the one I think has a better chance. Did I violate the others right to life? Originally Posted by Ceremony

I just returned from Europe where I spend a lot of time on business. Socialized medicine (and European socialized government) is something which I am very familiar with. I'll say it plainly - it doesn't work. Trust me, you don't want to live like Europeans especially when it comes to medical care.

Apparently libs think socialized healthcare will work fine here. Or maybe they don't give a shit if it works well or not. It's more about income redistribution. How better to achieve that than to declare everything under the sun to be some kind of fundamental human right.Congratulations, you've discovered the core of the problem. Big pharma and big healthcare in the U.S. alone are 80% the size of the entire worldwide petroleum industry. I'd say that was income in dire need of redistribution.
As far as socialized healthcare in America, that's probably a moot point. That's not likely to happen any time soon. Big Pharma and the insurance companies run healthcare. They have a lot of influence in D.C. They aren't about to give up what they have. Originally Posted by cowboy8055
