Its so ironic you made this thread.

I think healthcare should be universal.

I think they should just take health care out of taxes and everyone should get it like here in the UK.

My mom is currently dealing with health insurance issues with my dad. Like right now as I type.

Reevaluate your idea of irony.

Most of the girls on ATRL are going to have those monthly STD check-ups. Id be worried, if I were them.

America is too damn broke to pay for everyone's Healthcare. Part of being in America is to work and get your own healthcare, Government cant supply everything for you.

If you have a job, you should have a package deal where you get health insurance. I thought I had health insurance once, got checked and it cost me over $200 (maybe $300) just for a check-up.

Never again. I know my job includes Health Insurance so once I'm off my parent's I gotta go to it again, even if it's crappy.

I think healthcare should be provided by the state, but with limits.

For example, why should we pay for people to have weight loss surgery because they won't stop eating?

Healthcare very rarely provides for cosmetic surgery.

My idea is correct because I am flawless. So take your ass and that ugly black and white gif to the back of the line. Thank you.

That's how its done in Canada. It's provided by the provinces, and contray to popular belief health care is not free in Canada.

!!!

And with the amount of illegal immigrants in this country, there's no way we're throwing American taxpayer money out the window like that.

Every civilized nations should have some form of universal healthcare. I mean, in the year 2011 how is it even conceivable that we just allow people to suffer or die because they either don't have a job, or do but not one that offers insurance?

There's so many things wrong about the argument against universal healthcare.

1) While we don't offer it, taxpayers end up paying more $ in the long run because medical conditions that were either preventable or treatable if detected early on, end up costing a fortune when doctors inevitably treat that same condition months/years later that has now been allowed to fluorish

2) And the argument that "In America we work for (insert randomness here)... Umm, do the people attempting to push this argument realize that the government taxes us for a shitload of things, many very important like the funding of roads and our overall infrastructure. There once was a time when this wasn't so, and people actually came together to build their own (******) wooden roads.

I can't comprehend how people can be okay with paying taxes for highways and public parks, but not for basic human healthcare. Welcome to wonderland.
