Thoughts on the passage of the health care bill?

In reading many of these posts I hear a lot of whining about payment, which can only mean many here think the government should give them a free ride. Thats sad. If you have this opinion you are pretty sure you won’t achieve enough to cover yourself. It also means those of us who do have to pay for you. Why do I have to pay for you? [/quote]

Nope, I actually have pretty decent insurance and also make enough to cover whatever my health insurance doesn’t cover. However, I also know that there are millions out there who don’t have health insurance. Out of the many things my taxes are used for (war, banker bonuses, roads to nowhere, stimulus, etc), this is one of the few things that I’m proud to help pay for.

Maybe you didn’t create the illness (maybe you did), but you did make choices that affect how much you make. Health care is not a right. [/quote]

So under your system, if someone is sick near death, doesn’t have insurance and can’t pay, then what? Let that person die on the street?

If you’ve read their posts before, you’d know that they are both on the extreme left (not right). They want a single payer, government run health care system, or nothing.

I’d rather have something rather than nothing.

I am happy for my 5-year old cousin who has been unable to correct a crooked eye because his insurance has decided that it is a pre-existing condition and not cover-able.

I am happy for my brother who is self-employed and is unable to get reasonably priced insurance to repair the hernia that is causing him incredible discomfort.

I am happy for my mom who is too young to get Medicare but too weak from her Still’s disease to get a job that provides health care and medication at a decent price.

I am happy that as a self-employed entrepreneur, I will be able to provide health insurance for my family and afford my wife the luxury of working at a job that she enjoys rather than working at a job that provides us with health insurance.

So, yes, I am happy.
