wow stupid post all around, insurance companies help the healthcare industry, they supply money for drugs? LMAO. Do you know the markup on xanax for example it's in the 100,000 percentile, it's robbery, all other businesses have a 90% mark-up cap, but not the pharmaceutical agencies, they can do as they please, profit more then any other business in the world and still offer shit and doctored studies. Healthcare for every citizen makes sense for the collective good, money should never be worth more then lives. You're very idealistic and this bill FORCES this idealism on people who have worked hard for the money they've earned. This bill also highlights a cultural problem in America right now. Nothing is free, folks. There's a very real price to be paid here: its called an increase in health care recipients, but a decrease in the quality of care. Prepare yourself for long waits. Sure it sucks for run of the mill illnesses, but that kid with neuroblastoma with no money can now have a chance at living, insted of dying on the street in the name of profit. Run of the mill businesses? What's a run of the mill business? I might work for one, based on your definition. Doctors should have the patients interest in mind, any doctor in the profession to make money is a bad doctor. Doctors want to have a nice lifestyle, it's what kept many of them going while they were working 36 hour shifts as an intern. Most of them have worked EXTREMELY hard to have that MD after their name, and this bill is going to reduce the incentive to become a doctor. Getting fair pay is fine, and we deserve it but if thats your motive then gtfo. I dont know seeing sick kids with cancer kinda skews my view though, perhaps your right, only those who work hard should get the benefits of proper and urgent healthcare. Oh wait, isnt SES a risk factor for poor health, oh shit it is.
i said illnesses, not businesses, you misread. So people with more then enough cannot afford more taxing? are you suggesting poor people dont work hard. Listen nothing is free and getting ahead is an issue, glass ceilings exist and the gap between the rich and the poor continues to widen. The poor cannot catch up no matter how hard they work, unless they get a scholarship to school you have to pay, hard to do when you have no money, quite easy for the rich kid with mommy and daddy to pay for everything. Listen i am in med school, i pay 20 gs a year myself or will be its on loan right now, i have worked hard for my degrees and i don't see how the ideal that the well off should help the sick and poor is in anyway negative. I will be well off, i do not have a problem aiding those that are disadvantaged, sick and unable to help themselves. What about the kid born into a poor family with lupus, he has to overcome his illness, with poor treatment to excel in life? seems fucking skewed to me. No one gets the same starting point nor is life fair, if you have be given a hand to excel in life, had things given to you, and made great decisions then im all for it. But don't think that others haven't tried just as hard yet circumstances omit them from the royalties you posses.
The system has flaws i admit that, however, it can and should be worked on to find a happy medium. I disagree, doctors work hard to save lives and have a meaningful existence. Are truly compassionate people, want to ease suffering and help others with there natural gifts (intelligence obviously). Money and a comfortable life is expected, and is still attainable, what makes you think it isn't, what do we need 700 000 gs a year to life leisurely? Find a truly passionate doctor, many of the specialists especially those working with kids will tell you that nothing brings them more joy then aiding a sick kid, helping a family in distress. Jesus man that is what it's about, when material shit becomes priority A, then you have lost sight. Again, i want both, i just don't want excess of one with impedence of the other.
