Do none of you see the benefits of a healthy society especially when it comes to communicable diseases?
Healthy people are able to work and generate tax revenues. Healthy people don't transfer illnesses to others. What happens right now to people who can't afford health insurance and cant afford to see a doctor get a minor infection? They wait it out hoping it will get better, but for some it doesn't and they have to go to the ER (or die). Of course they can't pay for that either and so the hospital just raises all of its rates to cover the loss on those treatments. In return the insurance companies raise their rates.
Why is it that these European nations with socialized health care live longer and have better health coverage than us? I have conservative friends (A pastor and his wife) who are from Germany and France, both of them say how much better health care is in Germany and France than here.
Now for those of you who don't want to pay for these dead beats, why don't we close down all the prisons that we have to pay for? I mean I'm not using those prisons, why should I have to pay for them?
