2012 ELECTION

[Cracker]

If you didn't buy yourself some health insurance, spent that money on booze and broads, and you end up in a coma, TOUGH SHIT! Bad decision.

If you are old as shit and let your son take out a mortgage on your house to buy a new car and he doesn't pay the mortgage, TOUGH SHIT! Bad decision.

WTF, people? Take care of your own damn self. Why should I pay insurance and you don't? WTF?

Middle-aged guy, lost his job (and home) in the recession (paid in to the "system" for years prior to that), hasn't been able to find employment, couldn't pay the insurance premiums, diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. What then?

A child who is sick and his/her parents haven't had health insurance for years. What then?

And who decides who is "worthy" of health care?

Everybody has a hard luck story, user. I find it hard to believe decent people cannot find ANY employment for years and years. They may have to take a job they don't want or don't like, but I have had to do that very same thing.

If you are a parent, you should have healthcare. Poor people can buy PeachCare in GA for pennies on the dollar of what I have to pay each month. When I didn't have insurance, I paid cash.

You are telling the wrong person. I have been broke and a single parent and have had hard times. I never ONCE used aid, I worked shitty jobs I didn't like instead. It sucked. I sucked it up and did it anyway.

Hospitals and charities and funds are set up for people who are really in need. Doctors and dentists reduce the amount you have to pay if you are paying out of pocket.

Why should I have to pay when I have my own family? Because I work? That is fucking bullshit.

I had to add this: I have paid for several (four I can think of off the top of my head) doctor visits/meds and dental procedures for my extended family members in the last six months. Why can't other people take care of their families and help each other out? That is how it is supposed to be, not people expecting me to pay for mine AND every other fool's that doesn't take care of their adult responsibilities. Fuck entitlement. If you make yourself a charity case, get money from charity. I am not a charity. If I were, I wouldn't be paying all these fucking taxes.
