Fact: 100% of women aren't getting abortions 100% of the time. Infact, I'd be suprised if the amount of currently living women in the United States that went through with an abortion any time in their life was anywhere close to one thousandth of a percent. Thats 0.001% fyi.
Your "MY TAX DOLLARS!" are going to end up paying more for perscriptions of childrens cold medicine more than you are for abortions I'd wager, and really, nobody needs cold medicine unless you've got something else that having a cold could complicate.
Why should I have to pay for the VA or Medicare if something happens to Soldiers or the Elderly? Nothings keeping them from spending their own money. If you don't want socialized medicine, you shouldn't compromise for select groups.
Why stop at healthcare? Social Security is a pretty big tax drain. Nothing more Socialist like taking money from our paychecks to give to those that don't work anymore! And hey, I don't have kids, so why do I have to pay for my neighbors little boys education. Firefighters and Police force? Bootstraps yourself up a hose to dowse that blaze and obviously you shouldn't put yourself in a position to have a crime committed against you, that's just common sense!
btw, I'm responding ironically(and like a libertarian.)
For those against UHC, NHS, Socialized Medicine, or whatever the new buzzword is, I hope you realize you're dragging America down to a level that many Second World nations are above, and driving business and economic opportunities away. A healthy citizen is an efficient citizen. The lack of overall care in our current healthcare system is absolutely ruining this country, and because of baby boomers and hypocritical religious types, it isn't going to get any better. Bureaucracy ran medicine already exists in this nation, it's called Privatized Health Insurance. Only unlike the government that profits more off you being alive, they profit off not paying out. And once you idiots get hit with a denial, you'll snap back to reality. Until then, keep believing you're covered. It's funny to the rest of us. It's high time the United States joins the rest of the modern world.
E: You know what? I think they should just remove Ambulances from the 911 service, after all, if we aren't going to get public funded healthcare, why should people be able to use a public funded service to be transported to a hospital? Time to memorize the numbers of all hospitals you'll be closest to!
I am quite sick and tired of our elected officials taking bribes and shitting out scripted lies to be munched up by this countries ghastly large undereducated population, rather than actually working for the people who gave them their jobs.
I love how people get exactly whats wrong with our country figured out, and call everyone who doesnt agree with them stupid and accuse them of being the problem.
Yeah right, its Health care that destroying this country, lmfao this reminds me of that senator calling our health care "the American holocaust" Sorry, maybe im just sheltered, but i havn't seen anyone dying in the streets because a hospital wouldn't treat them.
Oh and "government profiting off you being alive" lmfao, right thats why in mass, with thier "free" health care doctors are payed to NOT run extra test, (wich is also in the bill btw, theres a tax on docters for every "extra" test they run on you.)
A friend of my moms lived in mass for years and kept getting urinary infections a couple times a year, it wasnt till she moved to North Carolina that a doctor actually ran ALL the test on her that he thought she needed and found out she had gall stones. Government run health care doesn't profit off keeping you alive, it profits off of sending you home with nothing but a prescription and a doctors advice.
the problem is noone even KNOWS whats in these fucking bills. theres like 6 different ones and the democrats can't even keep em straight, they use the fact that theres more then one as an excuse to say ANYTHING about them. (barrack obama said his healthcare bill would NOT include abortions, when asked why the current bill has exactly that in it last month he says "oh, i ment abortions arn't coverd in MY health care bill, the one that has not yet been commited to paper" They are saying all over the news that they're gonnna CUT cost and INCREASE competition, even tho the one just passed outright BANS the sale of private insurance in 2013. but if cornered about it they can say "oh i was talking about the pelosi bill" or "oh i was talking about the Ried bill" see how that works? wow politicians are fucking experts at that "lying without REALLY lying" shit arn't they?
The real problem is we want some sort of health care reform, but we don't trust the lying crooks in Washington one fucking bit. they can't even keep the bills straight, or their lies straight. they shove together a giant piece of shit put together by bureaucrats, and politicians, and then vote on it, with out even reading the fucking bill. they have this mentality that well ANYTHING is better then nothing, just like Bill Clinton said the other day, the WORST thing we can do is nothing. no... i think completely fucking everything up is the worst we could do. and if anyone can do it, its the governemnt.
i think what people want is REAL health care reform, without all the cloudiness, confusion and name calling thats been going on. people don't wanna be accused of being stupid, or "astro-turf" or nazi's. just for questioning what the hell is going on. the democrats are going by the idea that what most important is NOW, NOW, NOW, it doesnt matter what it looks like we just gotta pass this shit, NOW. we can fix it later, just pass it NOW. no thanks, if they think the best way of reforming our healthcare system is to tear it down and rebuild it, maybe we should take our time and do it RIGHT, the FIRST time.
Edit:: oh, and im deff not for banning abortions, but i don't think a woman should be able to just walk into a hospital and get a free abortion lickity split, with no questions asked whenever she "needs" one. if you think this makes me sexist or chauvinistic or w/e, then you can kiss my ass. I'm fucking sick and tired of being looked down upon just because i consider an unborn baby, a life.
