And in this silly universe you live in we do not have ration health care in the US now?

The last time I enter a hospital the first thing they wished to see was my insurance card and it is checked by both my doctors and the hospitals before I got any care.

Now that sound like rationing to me.

Second my doctor wished me to had a costly drug and it took 6 months of fighting with my health plan to get it and now my doctor told me that we need to do everything by the book as my account is red flag as a result.

Sure the hell sound like rationing to me.



Higher taxes and costs for everyone, the rationing of health care and a decrease in the
quality of health care in the US will come about if and when Obamacare is adopted.

Lets see, if the parents WONT, I would tell the child that I was removing them from the home and placing them with a family that would take care of them.
Why should a child suffer because the parents WONT do something?

I'm almost with you there - except mysterman - how would the government be expect to fund the ENTIRE cost of caring for a child when it can't or won't even cover the cost of his/her medical care?

Quote:
If the parents CANT, I would educate the parents about all of the programs that exist to help them, I would help them sign up for whatever they are eligible for, and then give the parents a chance to show that they can and will care for their child.
If the parents refuse, see my first answer.

I'm still looking for that article.

guess if ya don't pay in, ya can't collect. similar to unemployment or ssi, i guess.


You dont have to pay into SSI to collect.
Minor children can collect if their parent has died, even if the minor child never paid in.

Someone that is mentally handicapped can collect, even if they never paid in.

You need to check with the SS admin to find out.

As for unemployment, an employee does NOT pay into unemployment.
Your employer pays into it.
So, you CAN collect unemployment even if you never paid in to it, because as an employee you do not pay into it.

So your analogy is seriously flawed.

And if their parent can't - or even just won't? What would you tell that child?

Because then you didn't say that you'd say or do anything else. Saying that to a kid who has diabetes who couldn't get treated because their parents couldn't afford insuline or test strips or blood sugar monitoring systems - and not doing anything else about it - is like sentencing that child to death.

All children are sentenced to death the day they are born.

That sound like a cheaper solution then to follow the rest of the world and have universal health care and more kinder to the children also as only the rich should be allow to have children and for the labor we need to be done we will shipped in Mexicans with no rights and when they can no longer work we either allow them to die on the streets or ship then back to Mexico.

You know if you sick and uncaring people ever get back into power the rest of us should begin downloading plans for building guillotines.

Not from lack of insuline - at least not children in England.
Did you know that if you are diabetic in England - everything you need to manage your disease - insuline, monitoring system, everything - is free of charge through the NHS?
And did you know that if you manage and control the fluctuations of blood sugar caused by diabetes - especially type l or juvenile diabetes from an early age - the health system is much less burdened by the serious chronic and acute life threatening effects diabetics suffer in later life?

So it is to a health system's advantage to provide early managed care to diabetics.
It is counter productive and vastly more expensive not to.

If England has figured that out and can do that for its citizens, you tell me - why can't the US?

What makes you think they would choose to get car insurance?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am assuming that you mean health insurance not car insurance and there should not be a choice in the matter the cost should come out of the wealth of the whole society as is now done almost everywhere else but in the third world.
