They certainly will have to explain why they are willing to deny others health care when they meet their makers.

I don't think it will be pretty when the time comes.

@FedUpAmerican,
The problem with Socialized Medicine is the socialism part, Unionized workers raising the cost of medical care. Social policies only an idiot and it's assitant could think up, making administrative assistants more powerful that the health care worker. It's a nightmare of red tape and incompetance, the unions have taken control of Canadian Hospitals and they are responsible for our third world conditions. Decertify the Unions and get them out of the hospitals and give control back to the health care workers who have the knowledge and experience to run the hospitals. Having a BA isn't exactly a positive when working as a Hospital Administrator.

Aarronssong; my husband works for EHS and frankly it's not the health care workers it's the administrators who should be hung by their fingernails until they agree to quit. Paper pushing socialist bullies. I can't wait for Private Health Care to become available in Canada, I can afford to pay for private care I can't afford to place my life in the hands of socialized care.

Socialized Medicine is doomed to fail, it trips over it'self to aide the patient in areas that the patient should be taking control.

Folks like who? Are you presuming that you know ANYTHING about me???

You claim to be a "professional" in the healthcare industry. In what capacity?

Bedpan cleansing?


Facts:

-Number of uninsured Americans: 41,500,000 (Your fact)
-US Population: 302,878,403 (Census Bureau)

-41,500,000/302878,403 = 0.137 = approx 14% (mathematics fact)

-100% - 14% = 86% (mathematics fact)

So, I guess I was wrong. 86%, not 85% of the population has health care coverage.

-Fact: US law does not permit any hospital to turn away patients based on inability to pay. All must be treated. (Legal fact, posted on the wall of every Emergency Room and Obstetrical department in every hospital in the US.)

-Fact: The Medicare prescription drug benefit offers many different formulae and options from which a beneficiary must select one program. (Medicare website)

-Fact: Many seniors found the Medicare drug benefit "unduly complicated" and confusing. (Senior Journal)

-Fact: Initial cost estimates of the prescription drug plan were $534 billion over 10 years. Latest estimates show that the cost of this program over 10 years will actually be $1.2 trillion, more than twice the initial estimates (Washington Post)

So, as you see, my post was not based on opinion, but rather on well supported facts. Kinda hard to argue mathematics.

I particularly love your last stupidity. You really set yourself up for a fall here. No, my capacity is not in “bedpan cleansing.” (Pretty snotty, elitist attitude you have there, by the way. You have something against those who “lower” themselves to clean others when sick?) No, I am a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. I have a Master’s Degree in Nurse Anesthesia, and I do surgical and obstetric anesthesia for a living.

And you? Host of a “popular radio show?” Got your own ham radio set, huh?

Ah, the other fallback position when your "plan" is demonstrated to be untenable.

"You are godless."

For the record, I am not at all "godless." But, in our nation, it's no business of yours what my "state of godlieness" is. Neither is a state of godlieness relevant in the passage of law or the levying of taxes.

True godlessness comes from those who will not see that their selfish desire for either personal gain at others' expense, or for personal aggrandizment will harm the vast majority of the population. What was that figure again? Oh, yes. 86%

Yeah....and Socialist healthcare providers will have to explain why they botched up nationalized healthcare such that millions died needlessly. Big Brother isn't God. He's just another enfeebled man.

The courts have upheld, time and again, that for this text to have any meaning whatsoever, freedom of religion has no meaning unless there is freedom from religion. As such, no law can be passed that is based solely on the religious beliefs of a person or group of persons. So, if this is the strongest part of your argument, then go sit in the corner and study your civics textbook until you understand.

It's interesting that you would offer the potential of another Russian Revolution of 1917 as an example of where we are going if we don't get our healthcare. Because that revolution led to 75 years of socialism. Interestingly enough, at the end of that period, the whole system collapsed, primarily because the socialist economy could not sustain itself. It overburdened itself trying to provide everything to everyone, and in the end could provide nothing to anyone. The "Workers Paradise" was a misery to it's people, with rates of alcoholism higher than anywhere in the world. Standing in long lines to get chance to buy a roll of toilet paper. And that's what you want here? To quote your own post: "Those who fail the lessons of history, are doomed to repeat it."

It's also interesting that you, a Christian, would quote to me the King James version of the bible. Perhaps before you go any further, you should study on the history of that particular version of the good book. It isn't quite as pure as you might think.

And you still have not answered my question: Do we ever reach the point where we can say "enough taxation to support others?" Can we ever claim the remainder of what we earned as ours to support ourselves? Or must we support one social program after another, as infinitum? Where does this spiral end.
