healthcare ting

Re: healthcare ting

yah keyer that's my point! their entire attitude is that only &quot;some&quot; people deserve coverage, I.E. only the ones who can <span style="font-style: italic">pay for it</span> as a 'privilege'. the result of sed attitude is the whole healthcare thing has turned into an issue about economics, not people. it's not suppposed to be &quot;business&quot; - it's supposed to be about <span style="font-style: italic">people's lives.</span> but they have it like just another capitalism venture; just a nex something to buy to mek profit for someone. only <span style="font-style: italic">if</span> you can afford to pay. they really make me effin sick.

it's a matter of civil rights. every person in the country deserves decent medical care. every one. not just the rich ones. just like the govts. do in canada, sweden, trinidad, and many other countries who take deent care ah they people. all have a public care option for basics, AND private care available as well if ppl choose it.... their systems don't operate on some elitist platform that only the wealthy are worthy. nedda <span style="font-style: italic">feh.</span>

the Repubs ain't done a blessed thing to take any action on the problem themselves. they got no ideas of their own, took no action for years, just always negative &amp; tearin down what someone else HAS actually done. pathetic.

[quote]Is health care a right or a privilege? - Health Policy
Physician Executive, Jan-Feb, 2003 by Howard Haft


&quot;THE BIGHT TO BASIC HEALTH CARE IS AFFORDED TO EVERY CITIZEN OF TILE UNITED STATES.&quot;

Amendment (XXVIII) (2003)

Constitution of the United States of America

Of course there is no 28th Amendment to the Constitution. As a matter of fact, health care is not a right afforded to every citizen in our country.

Health care is a privilege attainable by the wealthy, a benefit provided solely at the discretion of an employer, a government subsidized insurance plan for the elderly or a charitable gift provided based on the goodwill of others......

My esteemed professor always insisted that HEALTH CARE IN AMERICA IS <span style="font-weight: bold">not</span> A RIGHT !! As per the Constitution.

Mi deyah a wondah hiff di political pundits will argue this one...wonder if it is in the BILL?</span>

interesting arguments for it being a right here as well....and the beat goes on.

Re: healthcare ting

I'm watching the Today show, and a young Nanny in Kentucky ran into a flaming house to save the little boy. There was an explosion and the house burst into flames. BAREFOOTED, she ran into the flames, sustaining horrible burns to the bottoms of her feet and her right hand, she saved the child.

They did an interview with her, single father (hats off to him), and the burned Nanny. She has NO HEALTH INSURANCE. Right then and there I said despite the mumbo jumbo, when all of this is in place, and people like this one get the help they deserve, who gives a damn about the rest.

It's like European and N. American use of the word 'voodoo' as in 'voodoo economics'. Why don't they say 'buddha economics' or 'hindu economics'?

I so agree! How can you relax when you know your neighbour - friend, mum, etc. - is sick and not getting treatment?!

Thank god we can visit the doctor - GP - any morning from 8 - 9 a.m, and can make an appt. for the lunch-time slot....

at the end of the day, you don't even need to pay, if you don't have it.....
