[quote=Anonymous][quote]Anonymous wrote: How do you feel about public schools, OP? I’m guessing you are also like: Why should I pay to educate someone else’s child? Why should I pay for roads I don’t drive on? Why should I pay for fire stations that will likely never benefit me? Stop enslaving me to pay for schools, roads, and emergency services I don’t use, waah waah waah I’m guessing if a poor person breaks their arm, you want them to die of sepsis? Too bad for them, huh. No, I accept that the democratic process and policies of our lawmakers have led to public schools. I would vote for public schools any day and support paying for them. I understand that roads are fundamental to the economy and support them. Fire stations - the same. I would even support a bond measure to raise money (weirdly some municipalities rely on volunteers to put out fires, yet provide free housing to illegal immigrants).[b] I am not opposed to some level of healthcare, but what is provided on medicaid is far above what I would support. Neighborhood clinics for preventive health and life, limb, and eyesight emergent care seems appropriate - and some program for children who need care and treatment for illnesses. Definitely not some insurance scheme that enriches for-profit health systems.[/quote][/b] Okay. So the title of your thread is misleading. You obviously believe in some healthcare as a right. So what level of care do you consider "above what you would support"? Do you believe that Medicare is an "insurance scheme"? Please cite the for-profit health systems that are being enriched by Medicare and how that enrichment is taking place. Sounds like you may be worried about fraud (which definitely needs to be prosecuted). [/quote]
