[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not the opposite of what the OP wants - just sort of proving the point that there are so many government benefits given to the low-income that it would be a good idea for them to contribute a small token payment for medical care, especially in light of the beck-breaking burden placed on the low-middle to provide that very care. Someone else also posted how demanding and entitled the recipients of free care were and that after they were asked to pay a little something they became much more appreciative.

I would love to see an admitting nurse at the ER explain to the "free" patient that the person right before them will have to pay $2000, in addition to higher premiums as a result of giving the "free" patients all the free care they want - and ask if they would be willing to give $10 to offset their bill. Now wouldn't that be interesting?

Why don't you just make poor people wear a tag or hat or something that identifies them as a freeloader, and make them come in through a back door, and not allow them to speak unless spoken to by a real taxpaying citizen? Since the undercurrent of this thread is that poor people should be publicly shamed. [/quote]
No. The thread is that low-income can kick in a modest $10 when the low-middle income is paying $15000 a year for insurance, and then another $5000 before insurance pays. But no.......we have to protect the low income from even a semblance of some sort of personal responsibility - ignoring the fact that it's done on the backs of the low-middle being driven to the poorhouse so the people earning a little less than they get everything paid for.

Nobody ever said they need to wear a tag or come in the back door. That's the ridiculous strawman argument given by liberals who get very annoyed when anyone dare suggest that people getting $30,000 or more of government benefits kick in 10 lousy bucks. NO.....free, free, free!! Add in the air of entitlement some of these people have, and they would be a lot more thankful of what they ARE getting if they had to contribute even a tiny bit.

As someone else posted, "what is obtained to cheaply is esteemed to lightly." The very fact that liberals are so appalled that a low-income person, after getting free insurance, needs contribute nothing more than $10 to see a doctor  shows how very deep the sense of entitlement runs.
