My thoughts on this matter are as open minded as yours.

Ok you said on some level you felt a responsibility to provide healthcare. On what level?Going to the ER and being cared for with or without money, Isn't that providing healthcare on some level?
I don't equate TV, or housing, or healthcare as being guaranteed for being an American citizen. Just the opportunity to succeed is all I want. My question is the same WHERE DOES IT STOP?
To what extent do you disagree that people with more money may be able to buy better healthcare? They buy better cars too. Do you expect them to not spend their own money the way they see fit. Come on, You think thats not fair?
Could we discuss any remedies that don't cost the taxpayers or the govt more money?
I agree we are in trouble but it's because nowdays people expect others to be responsible for their needs.
We have many safety nets in America for people down on their luck. WHERE DOES IT STOP???
My wife recently died of cancer. With tier 4 and 5 drugs that were not covered and a stem cell transplant and all the other things that we not covered by the two policies we had , you don't have to tell me about the costs of healthcare, but I don't expect to see anyone else paying the bills for me. There is no guarantee in life.. Benj
