![]() "hk" wrote in message m... I think " necessary health care" and "subsidized health care insurance" are two different things. Eisboch No "other words" are needed. I believe health insurance or a national health plan should be mandatory, and if you legitimately cannot afford the insurance, it should be subsidized for you and your family to the degree necessary. The hang-up I still have is the difference between a mandatory health insurance program and the right to free or subsidized (tax supported) health care for life threatening or disabling conditions. Mandatory health insurance puts another massive layer of bureaucracy, private or government, into the mix. When it comes to getting care, that has never been a good thing. A mandatory health insurance law is in effect here in MA. For those who can't afford the subsidized insurance (state programs) it is cheaper to pay the fine (assuming the state even enforces the collection of them, which I doubt.) Tough call. I guess my attitude is that those of us that are fortunate enough to be able to afford decent health insurance also have a moral obligation to assist those who need medical care (though a tax or increased insurance premium) for those who cannot afford insurance. But to subsidize health *insurance* programs is another matter. Eisboch |

Eisboch I agree that you should kick those parasitic health insurance companies to the curb and have a government supplied universal health care system. The question is...what's the fairest & most efficient way to pay for it... a national sales tax..... an increase in income tax.... or premiums colected from anyone who reports an income? |

I stated previously I see no purpose served by health insurance companies, but we're stuck with them for a while longer. -- Conservatives - just pretend Obama's health care legislation is another unnecessary war and you'll feel better about it. |

This company protected the people they service by preventing fraud. Get over it. Or you pay for it and don't be a liberal loser looking for other peoples money. Didn't see liberals out there providing the money for the expensive operation. Yep, liberals just envy and greed for other peoples money. Typical. The blame for this is 100% on the parents. End of story. They do need government to manage their lives but don't pass the costs and crap to honest people. Make these people live right, and make them slaves if they can't manage their lives better. -- -------------- Politicians don't provide anything, the tax payers do. |
