[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It just seems wrong that we live in a society where people think twice about taking their child to the doctor or emergency room because they are worried about copays and prescription costs, and meanwhile my hypochondriac older relatives seem to have made 'going to the doctor' into a lifestyle.  I pay a lot of taxes and yet there's not maternity leave, no childcare.  That's apparently a "you problem" whereas senseless wars and viagra for old men are an 'us problem'.  Makes no sense.[/quote]
Many people would support universal healthcare, but Rs don't want that.  If you want to bring down healthcare costs you will have to get government to regulate the cost.  That is the only way to bring it down.

Seems like what you are saying is that old people who have worked all their lives shouldn't be taken care of by the taxes that they paid.  What should old people do?  You do know that these old people also didn't have mandatory maternity leave, right?  Their form of "childcare" was latchkey kids, of which, I was one of.

you seem to be under the impression that old people had it easier when they were your age. They didn't.  Older women didn't have the protections that you enjoy today in the workplace. Workplace discrimination was much more accepted 30 years ago compared to today. As was a lot of other types of discrimination, and not just in the workplace.
