    I just watched this again for the first time since it came out, because I thought it was pretty relevant.

    America, why are half of you such complete faggots?

    Is there any way to you can justify private health care, especially taking into consideration the context this movie puts it in, that the companies don't actually give a shit about you at all, and will do everything possible to deny your coverage?

    Yes, this is the 892389058 thread about this. It always seem to conclude with calling obama a nigger.

    thats really oversimplifying the problem. Here's why I disagree with you:

    You're lazy so you should be poor. Fine, now what about your kids? What if they are hard working, now they have very limited options to work their way out of it.

    In reality, the next generation, and every subsequent generation has to pay for the mistakes of the last one.

    Eg. The environments fucked because your grandparents thought burning coal was the bee's knees, and cars that had anything less than a V8 were for pussies. Who cares if it got less than 10 miles to the gallon, you could fill your tank for 2 bucks and gas was seemingly in infinite supply. How do YOU feel about having to recycle and pay carbon tax, and 4 dollars a gallon for gas, because the previous generations thought everything was just fucking awesome with no consequences and were gluttons about it.

    Now apply the same thing to your little social economic model.

    See?

    Yes, I do. Although I have been in a car accident before and let me assure you it does not cost THAT much if you are paying up front. Doctors and hospitals give you a HUGE discount if you don't have insurance pay up front, because then they don't have to worry about you skipping out on the bill or the copay and/or insurance denying the claim later.

    That's just absolute bullshit. It's not like anyone ever says "Even though you have the money for this house, I'm not going to sell it to you, because I looked into your family history and there were poor people in it."

    The reason poor people make more poor people is because they only teach their kids how to be poor.

    So then you are agreeing with me, that its a cyclical system? Because that's my point.

    The environment is fucked because the last generations were irresponsible gluttons. Now our generation is responsible for fixing it. How is that fair?

    Your parents were poor because "they were lazy". If that was true, then the next generation wants to work hard, but nothing will come of it, because they can't afford education, etc. Is that fair?

    If this was the first generation ever that had poverty, I would be willing to buy your argument that personal responsibility is the direct cause, however this is the 1000th generation with poverty, so I think personal responsibility is a little overgeneralized as a cause.
    I don't really get what point you are trying to make with your house analogy.

    One of the funniest things in the whole fucking world are americunts who actually openly support their health care system, or a lack of one. They have been fed the same line of bull for like what, 50 years? How health care leads to communism and how the only way you'll truly be free people is to pay tens of thousands of dollars for medical needs.

    The only attempt to make an argument so far has been, when you have a private health care system, you don't pay for other people. LOL that's some shit right there. Except you have a few zeroes too much on those bills to say that.

    Now, as if this pure mugging isn't enough for the insurance companies, the whole NWO went as far as to make up hundreds of mental illnesses so they would actually sell expensive drugs, for nonexistent conditions, to anyone, because everyone has those symptoms.

    The USA is something akin to a colosseum. It provides great entertainment. But nobody outside of it with half a brain wants to get in. I think that the majority are unaware how health care actually works, and how they paid, again, tens of thousands of dollars for something that's supposed to be free.

    again, you are oversimplifying things.

    A basic education doesn't qualify you to do anything, and yes you need an education to work.

    Your argument lacks some serious socioeconomic factoring.

    If everyone had a basic education or no education, what kind of jobs do you think they would be able to aquire?

    Menial labor jobs? So great, hows that going to work in the long run? You realize this country's economy is based on consumer consumption right?

    The only way your theory would work is if everyone getting paid to do menial unskilled labor was being paid like 80 grand a year to do it.

    However, people don't get paid that much. They get paid barely anything, and on top of it they don't get health insurance.

    I don't understand what point you are making. Working really hard isn't enough to get you out of poverty in pretty much 99 percent of all cases.

    Oh, right. So the whole point of non free health care was to avoid socialism. Why? Because them socialists have no freedom, their life is plain work.

    But in order to afford staying healthy, assuming you're not too privileged, you have to first work enough to pay yourself for higher education, then continue working so you can continue that education, and after that, of course, you continue working. Of course, you're already around 30 years old by that time, and your life has been pretty much work, but hey, now you can finally afford some mo'fuggin healthcare!

    You don't have to go to a doctor every few days to stay healthy. And again if you pay up front going to a doctor is not expensive at all.
    The only thing that is going to cost a lot is having kids, which you SHOULD be waiting until you've gotten an education and good job before doing.

    You can't predict illness, and if all of a sudden you get into an accident or get ill, why should you have to bear the financial burden?

    That's just retarded. 100,000 to go to college is an investment in your future.

    If people have a preexisting condition and can't get healthcare, they are less likely to have kids and pass on that preexisting condition.

    Make your parents or whoever's fault it is you have that condition pay for it, not me.

    Besides, insurance can't deny a preexisting condition if you are switching from another insurance, and before you get a job you're probably on your parents' plan anyway, unless you sat around doing nothing for a long time after turning 18 or finishing school.

    Because right now the national debt is $11,842,007,145,002.26 and climbing, only a complete moron (read democrat) would think this is the right time for the government to now foot the bill for over 300 million people, (many of them being obese fucks like Michael Moore and no doubt OP).

    It won't be "free healthcare" when the only way to pay for it is to tax the fuck out of everyone.

    You're not rich, so I don't know what you are bitching about.

    Oh wait, you're middle class, so you pick up the slack for all the taxes the poor don't pay, and the rich don't pay.

    Gotcha.

    I hope you know that if you've ever paid taxes in your life, more of it has gone to corporate welfare, then social welfare.

    Some rich guy got a government grant for starting a business, and taxpayers paid for it. This happens all the time. But all the taxpayers are told to bitch at the poor people because they are the ones getting all the welfare.

    Health Insurance works just fine as it is, get a good job, contribute and we'll do what we can when you get sick.

    You assume everyone is in the same situation as you. If you got sick (very sick) halfway through your heroic saga of rags to riches, what would you do? If you got a girl pregnant, what would you do? If your parents died and you had to look after your family, what would you do? You can't always ELBOW GREASE your way into success, sometimes life bends you over a gives you a good old reaming. The whole point of society is to iron out those inequities (I'm sure you don't mind that a fit 20-something is "fighting for your freedom" instead of leaving your grandmother to fend for herself). Think about it this way: which would be a greater tragedy - for someone with the same aspirations and work ethic as you to get their ass knocked down, or to have to pay a millionth of a cent extra tax to support Shaneqa the Welfare Queen?

    Point of the matter is, if you really believed in ELBOW GREASE BOOT STRAPS, you would support socialised healthcare. Slackers aren't going to suddenly find themselves able to slack harder with free healthcare. But BOOT STRAPPERS are exactly the people that will benefit most from socialised healthcare - the security net will be all the nudge a lot of them need (as opposed to being dragged back down into the ghetto by an unfortunate act of life).

    I'd try to get help any way possible. Go to charities, ask doctors if they are willing to help me, see if any family members are able to help out. One thing that I would NOT expect is to forcibly use other peoples money to make me better. That's fucking selfish to force other people to do that.

    I went to the emergency room last night at 10:00 PM because a senior relative had been given a low blood pressure reading. She was fine, and was sure that the reading was wrong, but the assholes at the hospital insisted on taking it about a billion fucking times over the course of half a day. After about 4 hours (2:00 AM), we're down to maybe 5 other people in the e-room where there once was 30. We finally saw a fucking doctor at 6:00 AM. They just continue monitoring her blood pressure for the next 2 hours (STILL NO CHANGE? WELL SHIT REALLY?!?) before I can finally go home, because they want to keep her there. Jesus fucking christ.

    A truer truth has never been spoken.

    America racially profiles muslims and taps phone lines illegally, but most citizens don't care because it's not their problem.
    America exploits the immigrant worker, doesn't offer legitimacy as citizens, and then condemns them for not being legal, but most citizens don't care because it's not their problem.
    America has a weak justice system that still finds it acceptable to execute people, but most citizens don't care because it's not their problem.
    America has a failing health care system that demands the most money for the least service, and lets the have-nots fall through the cracks, but most citizens don't care because it's not their problem.

    Complacency breeds apathy, but when everything goes to shit, the government won't be able to take the people seriously anymore.

    Is this really different from public roads, public defence force, public education, public mail or public anything else? Everyone doesn't use every road - some people use the road very rarely, some people use the road every day. Some people don't have kids, some people have dozens. Some people don't send mail, some people send shitloads of mail. How is this different?

    >then we go into a foster home and continue our lives from there
    Are you confident you could take this setback in your stride? Remember, you only have a limited window for success - there are certain points in your life where if you haven't accomplished something by then, you never will. If you don't own your own house by ~35 and are stuck in the rent loop, you'll probably never own your own step.

    >Shaneqa wouldn't think twice about squeezing out another kid for a larger welfare cheque
    And you know for certain Shaneqa's new kid is going to be a parasitic leech like her, and not a BOOTSTRAPPER like you? Didn't you say you came from a poorfag family? And you're right, I don't have figures on how many Shaneqas there are. But I don't care, because I wouldn't deny even one genuinely needy person if it meant giving to a hundred Shaneqas. Perhaps that is a fundamental difference between us?

    Yes, because the criminal justice system never makes any mistakes. Ever.

    I'm not saying I refute that the current prison system is unable to reform some of the people in the system. But capital punishment? Really? Are we barbarians?
    Also, the determination of life w/o parole vs. death penalty is far too ambiguous. That's what bothers me most, I think. Deciding who is put to death may depend on how the judge is feeling that day, or in what state of the union the person committed the crime. The system is not explicit enough to leave people's lives on the line.
