  • I want there to be no healthcare at all. Why should I pay for your cancer? You don't pay for my problems either.

    • What if your kids gets really sick, and you can't afford it?

      • See that's the argument from emotion that people use to push healthcare. You don't pay for the what ifs that I value so why should I pay for the what ifs that you value?

          • I didn't mean just that.
            I mean, think about your neighbours. Imagine they lost their jobs, and suddenly their kid gets really sick. Wouldn't you be happy to know they are still getting treatment? Maybe it doesn't happen to you, but it will happen to other people.

    • Wait 'till you get cancer. You won't be spreading this kind of crap, will you? Do you know what these people have to deal with?

      Ah, all these spoiled rich kids. Thinking nothing affects them. Well, let me tell you something, (this is coming from someone currently studying for medical school) health and disease affects everyone. Not just obese people or poor people, ok?

      I actually find this quite disturbing to half the population with some form of illness, wether it be physical or mental.

      • Dude you don't know if I've had costly tragedies that I had to pay for myself. To each their own shit to deal with, that's what I'm saying.

          • Still, if you had to pay your illness yourself, good for you. But if somebody can't afford it, you are so mean you want them to die? isn't it easier just to pay taxes, and help these people who cant afford it, and even use it yourself too, if you have a big illness one day?

        • Here's what I don't get. You're fine with paying, say, $200 or more a month for insurance plus all the extras like copays and deductibles. You are giving that money to a corporation that profits from it but you can't bear the thought of a sick person benefiting from your money? They already do because that is how insurance works but why should select people be made millionaires in the process while denying claims and paying out the least possible? Why are average people who maybe make some poor health choices more villified than people who are literally taking your money and trying to keep as much of it as possible while making your own care more expensive and complicated?

        • Three words about you blackcatsareawesome: Republican Trump Supporter

          My grandparents died of cancer. 1 in every 7 people do man. More than radical Islam that's for sure. And I actually am currently studying health and medicine so I better know a thing or two about it just saying.

          PS: Not all problems are paid for. It's sad, but true. Sorry about that.

    • You pay for it anyway if you buy health insurance. If you don't have health insurance, then everybody else pays for you in the end when something inevitably happens to you. If you don't have insurance or can't afford to see a doctor, you're less likely to get seen for something that isn't literally killing you yet, prevention and early detection is cheaper than treating a full-blown illness.

      Why pay hundreds a month and make select people rich instead of paying an acceptable % of your income, not making people rich, and improving the quality of life for your whole country?

      Nobody should be making these insane profits off of a basic human need such as health care.
