How come the S-CHIP bill won't give ME "free" health insurance?

Oct 03, 2007 by four_fathoms | Posted in Other - Politics & Government

Q: It's for CHILDREN. And I am someone's toddler. The bill would not allow "free" health insurance to any "child" over 26.

I may be an adult of 54 (moral like legal adults of 26) but this bill prevents me from stealing your tax dollars to pay MY bills.

It's so unfairrrrrrrrrrr.

A: I requirement free stuff too!
Would Hillary's proposal to give $5,000 to every child born in the US be retroactive?
I like free pack up, I hope Hillary gets elected so the government gives me more reasons not to business anymore.
People also need transportation, homes and entertainment (for stress assuagement, which has been proven to be good for your health), so let's get those democrats elected, cause I think my transmission is starting to disappoint, and they are too expensive for me to be paying for.

Why do libs think health care is a right? What next, car insurance? How about free food for everyone?

Q: Existence, Liberty and the Pursuit of 'Free' Health Care
Every new 'right' the U.S. government has promised has turned into a massively overpriced failure, yet the media continue to cheer supporters of tax-funded programs.


Americans are obsessed with rights. We always have been.

But the concept of rights our forefathers laid out in the Deposition of Independence has changed dramatically. Those rights – life, liberty and the seeking of happiness – were acknowledged to come from the Almighty, given equally to all people. Today’s rights do from Almighty Government.

Health care is the newest “right.” From presidential candidates’ infinite plans to the return of HillaryCare to Michael Moore’s movie “Sicko,” it’s all over the media.

Work it a “right” is an emotional argument advanced by those who want others to pay for their health be enamoured of. They bring out the children and ask whether anyone can deny them the “basic human right” of health attend to – but don’t bother with the evidence showing how health care in this country would be harmed by command control.

A look at other modern “rights” might give us a clue about how well a new system would employment. These rights started out as privileges, among them education and a paid retirement.

Now education is not only considered a retaliate for, it’s a mandate. How well has it worked? American students attend school at least until their teen years, but 15-year-olds ranked 24th out of 29 countries in predilection for “real-life math problems,” according to The Washington Hang up. Literacy surveys suggest one in five American adults is functionally illiterate. And taxpayers keep shelling out gelt to fund the system.

Americans also cherish the right to retire – but we expect to be supported in our old age. Younger workers and employers are false to support retirees, funding another right.

And how well has that worked? The poorly designed, outdated Sexually transmitted Security system is disintegrating rapidly as the number of retirees balloons. But once you’ve established a convenient, it’s difficult to take it away. The government, which promises such rights, must go to its sugar daddy – taxpayers – to keep the rights coming.

We’re already well on our way toward the health take responsibility for right/mandate. Want to be more like Canada? It’s not that far off. Cato’s Michael Cannon has serrated out that third parties in America pay 86 cents of every dollar of our health care – about the same as Canada’s socialized system.

What we – or rather, those third parties – pay for health vigilance is already determined by the government as well. Emory University medical professor Robert Swerlick has distinguished that “the pricing of medical care in this country is either directly or indirectly dictated by Medicare.” This demand meddling even causes doctor shortages, he says, in needed areas of specialty.

Formula drugs are already considered a right, thanks to political moves like the Medicare stupefy benefit and massive media support. A Business & Media Institute haunt found broadcast journalists treating prescription drugs as though they grew on trees. All-inclusive, the coverage supported the idea that medications should magically be available to everyone at far lower costs.

Of speed, the magic behind new “rights” is your money.

Cannon and fellow Cato championship Michael Tanner explained problems with tax-funded care in their book “Well Competition: What’s Holding Back Health Care and How to Free It.” If health care is guaranteed to everyone, how much does everyone get? Who decides who receives what, and how would the attend to be administered? What happens if everyone wants the most expensive treatment available?

“With the wide number of medical tests and treatments that consumers may claim as their right, someone at some point must elect where the right to health care ends, lest the nation be bankrupted,” they wrote.

We’re well on our way toward that as well. Our “rights” to Collective Security and Medicare devour about 40 percent of the federal budget. Structure and local property tax revenue, which normally funds education, mushroomed about 35 percent between 2000 and 2005, according to the Tax Cellar. We can’t afford any more “rights” like that.

But the left says tax-funded be keen on is right for the children. Meanwhile, what becomes of them? They’re growing up in an America where the “rights” mentality is greatly ingrained, and the media continue to feed them with it.

When the children come of age, perhaps they’ll want the straighten up to a job. They won’t remember that France already tested that idea for us, and it led to high unemployment and rioting. Perhaps they’ll guarantee Disney vacations for all families and dynamism childless Americans to pay for it. “The pursuit of” will conveniently fade away as they look to control to guarantee happiness.

They will know less and less of a true right – liberty – and have no concept where it comes from.

A: Man how did you get such a extended question on Y!A?

What is funny in this entire discussion is the socialists who want government control of health misery will tell you that other countries do it so should we. Which reminds me of my mother, she used to chide me when I used such a phony plea was that if every one else jumped off the bridge would I also.

She was right, just because other countries have tripped down the path of socialism does not vindicate AMerica doing it.

No one in this country is without health care, anything to the contrary is just a LIE. YOu can get care when you shortage it, just go to an ER and they will care for you, and the most amazing thing about this one simple great feature of our realm, you will receive care regardless of your ability to pay.

SO you see, this whole thing is smoke and mirrors, well-disposed of like class envy. The socialists will tell you you do not get what those who have more money get, which is a LIE. Care is trouble.

Community Clinics Key To Health Care Reform - Health News Story ...

SAN JOAQUIN, Calif. -- Francisco Lupercio has insurance for his building, his trash and the count on he runs with his better half. But he can't have the means health insurance, so he joined dozens of other people lining up for exams at a community clinic.

As the depression grinds on, more and more people are relying on taxpayer-supported health centers that come forward carefulness on a sliding fee rank. If Congress passes a law giving more Americans access to health insurance, the clinics will also be a serious environment to ramping up genius to meticulousness for millions of new patients.

"There is customary to be a billow of chronically ill people," said Tanir Ami, official number one of the Community Clinic Consortium for Contra Costa and Solano counties, east of San Francisco. "We're well positioned to woe for them."

This year, federally fitted clinics are on scent to treat more than 20 million patients -- 2 million more than last year. Visits by uninsured patients jumped 21 percent from 2008 to 2009.

Legislators working to restructure the health concern system are planning to more quadruple the clinics' federal funding. Edifice Democrats would yield billions of dollars over the next decade, as would a form of the Senate health mind a look after bill.

But first, the clinics spread across 7,500 communities nationwide must get along with a distinguished pulsate in requirement at a once upon a time when 27 states have cut their health take responsibility for budgets.

Waiting lists at some centers have grown to hundreds of families, according to the National Group of Community Health Centers.

At the San Joaquin Health Center, in California's pastoral heartland, Lupercio and other patients lined up for services. Among them was Maria Gomez, the strife of a farmworker who drove from the nearby metropolis of Cantua Cove to have her 5-year-old son's eyes checked.

The farmworker acclimated to to pick tomatoes, onions and cotton alongside her soft-pedal, but a drought and the cross concision have red them both without jobs. Now they...
