Yes, but back then, when there weren't too many of these commie types, their needs were easily taken care of by the producing majority. Now they have grown in numbers, to the point that not only it is very hard to take care of them, but being also a majority, they have stopped asking for help. They just vote for it these days, and send the government man with a gun to take it.

sorry Nogames I just can't see things the way you do when it comes to helping others. I know there are people who take advantage and there always will be, but frankly the rich take far more than the poor ever will and I don't see you guys focusing on them to any real degree. I am done for with this topic, I need to go to sleep with something positive on my mind..

If a person don't like the United States then they should move to somewhere else.

ignorance,blindness are bliss huh

You can't have a one-way street. Those who are wealthy because / and they abuse the system, are doing this through very same mechanism that exists to allow the poor to abuse others. Plus, the ones that are more successful at this, are way smarter and a lot less lazy than poor.

So, what I am saying is that unless you personally are going to control who is getting what, any tiny little hole that you poke in the justice in order to feed some poor, will be used by many others to the point that the results will always outweigh your initial goals.

The way to control it all is a dictature. Is that what you want?

You can be as disappointed with people as you wish, but remember, those abusing the current system have a good justification for their actions. Since there is no justice (it was moved to the rear, to make way for equality), then there is nothing wrong with raping the unjust.

So using your logic, you're suggesting those who dont't like the current US healthcare system should move to Canada or Cuba for "free"... well, socialized care. Good call there Mirror.

I'd like to sue Logan1976 for his "BTW LynnAnn loosen that corset girl its cuttin' off the blood flow to your brain" comment. Injuries to my nasal cavity sustained when water was forcibly ejected through it due to laughter (no warning label provided/present). To quote Larry the Cable Guy "I don't care who ya are, that's funny".

but it's ok for joe biden to plagerize? be seeing you

more hate,lack of empathy,paranoia and intolerance.sad

What you fail to realize is we already pay for the uninsured at a much higher price. All you have to do is look at our ERs. We dont turn people away for not being able to pay. We treat them. These costs are passed on in higher costs and insurance premiums. Do you not see that? Do you not realize why we cant control health care costs. We have become a country of high cost treatments for low cost ailments. Who do you think pays now?

Temp you are correct there.

Don't expect any of the simpletons (you know who you are) posting here to understand the complexity of the problem though.

For them every issue devolves into a black and white knee jerking name calling idiot fest.

Same post...different day.

Well LynnAnn good thing you would never stoop so low and do any "name calling". I hope you were calling me a simpleton. I will take that as a complement. Uneducated as I might be I am an AMERICAN. And I am prepared to defend my country from enemies both foriegn and domestic. And possibly from its own government. God forbid it ever come to that.

BEEMAN. You are a great AMERICAN!

Excuse ME, I fought for this country for 2 years to give folks the right to choose the type of leader they wnat it is OUR country too!!!! Its a new day fellows GET USED TO IT!!!!!

I did not address my post to anyone nor did I personally insult anyone. Something some do here on a regular basis.

However...if you feel the shoe fits...

School yard insults and name calling directed to a specific poster are against the forum rules.

Rules that are not uniformly enforced it seems.

Unlike others on these boards I do not make liberal use of the report button. Being insulted by some on these boards is almost a point of pride for me.

So keep slinging childish insults...I think it's swell.

Boo2u. I was in that boat. I jumped out swam to dry land, busted my tail and made better life for myself. Its called self reliance. Those who do not have health insurance receive health care free of charge here in Texas. National health care will only have a negative effect on the quality of the product. People keep referring to Canadian health care. None of them seem to know how good/bad said health care is. Americans actually have a hihger quality of healthcare. Falling back on the government should be a last resort. A safety net if you will.

LynnAnn I apologize. Clearly I have offended you. That was not my intent. You chose your words carefully. A lawyer perhaps or did you learn from master Clinton. Veiled insults and threats seem to be your forte. Please make use of the "report button" and end my suffering. What are they gonna do take my birthday party away?

Yes, but it should be cured by removing free services, not by piling up a more complicated structure on top of what we already have.

Two wrongs don't make right.

Again
