Healthcare is too damned high!

[Uben]

I can pay the damned rent, but cut me some slack on healthcare! $20K/yr for premiums is 2 DAMNED HIGH!

Wages are too damned low for healthcare to be so damned high! Why are those who take an oath to treat the sick so willing to strip them of every dollar they have? The "for profit" medical business has gotten way out of hand and our congressmen are responsible for letting it happen. I go to a physicians assistant for healthcare because I cannot look a doctor in the face and have any respect for them. And don't give me any shit about they have to make a profit, too, because I haven't seen a one of them in a financial crisis. They sold their Hippocratic souls to big pharma, and that's as disgusting as tea naggers.

3. Why do so many Americans think everyone else should pay for their bills?

Or give them free services but want pay raises in their own jobs?

4. SOCIALISM OR BARBARISM?

I don't know of anyone who thinks what you stated. Maybe it's in the crowd one hangs out with.

5. Maybe because we signed on to the UN Declaration of Human Rights???

Article 25.

* (1) Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.
* (2) Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection.

7. And because we subsidize Big Pharma three ways to Sunday?

Why do some Americans think we should fund Big Pharma's R&D and get no return on our investment?

8. Americans are already paying more taxes and more for health care

than countries with socialized medicine and we get none.

Why are so many Americans such rubes?
