Not many people are aware of this, but a trillion dollar proposal is being pushed to approve healthcare. in the bill, are funds for illegal immigrants to be treated with taxpayer money, and taxing the rich and middle class. Your thoughts? is this a good bill?

It is an atrocious bill that will inevitably be passed by the democratic congress.

The effects will be devestating, although it looks like there is some opposition from the republicans. Newt Gingrich said the bill has a good chance to fail.

Haven't illegal immigrants always been threated to healthcare by American tax payer money? How is that different from now?

Im sure some democrats will vote it down because they don't want to lose reelections when its seen that the bill destroyed the american healthcare system.

No. If I was a surgeon in a hospital and someone came in on an ambulance with third degree burns all over their body, I'd ask to see their proof of U.S. citizenship before I proceeded any further.

If someones children needs dental braces or a man needs his diabetes medicine I don't give a **** about his legal status. The unregulated free market sucks.

That's the beauty of it, you can pay for them if you want. Instead, you are forcing the burden of it on me and other normal citizens.

I don't like the idea that someone who isn't supposed to be in the country in the first place would get treatment before my grandmother. Healthcare right now is fine. Maybe if people would stop abusing the welfare system we could get somewhere.

Good luck with that happening. What is going to make someone on welfare want to get a job and take responsibility for their own well being when a fiscally liberal government works to make welfare readily available to them?

Exactly, it just makes America even lazier, relying on rich people who earned their cash.

Maybe if you didn't spend your money willy-nilly on the military then a social healthcare system would work. I really don't understand why Americans don't want a healthcare system like Canada's. Despite popular belief, if you break are in a car accident there is no waiting. However, if you have a boo-boo on your finger from a piece of paper than you can wait. If you spent the money you do on your army and put it towards healthcare instead, I doubt any nation could hope to rival America's healthcare. Perhaps you have grown up in your society to be selfish, I don't want to cause a massive uproar, but saying you don't want your money to be used to save lives, then you are certainly doing a good job at showing how you care only for yourself. Also, regarding immigrants. Put yourself in their shoes. If you were in their position wouldn't you want to go to America to be able to support your family and yourself? You might say no, I would go in legally, but then, you are not putting yourselves in their shoes because most of them can't because they don't have the means to do so. This won't change anything however. And I am certain that many of you are going to complain about what I said or make some reference to the number of posts I have made. But I do not care. I don't want you to respond, just think of what it is like not being able to afford healthcare. Many people can't get healthcare because school is very expensive and often, it is beyond people's budget. Look beyond yourself, and look towards others. After all, don't many of your religions say: Treat others as you would like to be treated. Practice what you preach.

Boo hoo. Life isn't fair, it never will be. America is the land of freedom and opportunity, if you don't take your opportunity, then why do you deserve the same as someone who did?

It is an atrocious bill that will inevitably be passed by the democratic congress.

This, lets hope republicans get back in power and repeal it. Its too expensive and why should taxpayers pay for illegals health care?

Maybe if you didn't spend your money willy-nilly on the military then a social healthcare system would work. I really don't understand why Americans don't want a healthcare system like Canada's. Despite popular belief, if you break are in a car accident there is no waiting. However, if you have a boo-boo on your finger from a piece of paper than you can wait. If you spent the money you do on your army and put it towards healthcare instead, I doubt any nation could hope to rival America's healthcare. Perhaps you have grown up in your society to be selfish, I don't want to cause a massive uproar, but saying you don't want your money to be used to save lives, then you are certainly doing a good job at showing how you care only for yourself. Also, regarding immigrants. Put yourself in their shoes. If you were in their position wouldn't you want to go to America to be able to support your family and yourself? You might say no, I would go in legally, but then, you are not putting yourselves in their shoes because most of them can't because they don't have the means to do so. This won't change anything however. And I am certain that many of you are going to complain about what I said or make some reference to the number of posts I have made. But I do not care. I don't want you to respond, just think of what it is like not being able to afford healthcare. Many people can't get healthcare because school is very expensive and often, it is beyond people's budget. Look beyond yourself, and look towards others. After all, don't many of your religions say: Treat others as you would like to be treated. Practice what you preach.

Boo hoo. Life isn't fair, it never will be. America is the land of freedom and opportunity, if you don't take your opportunity, then why do you deserve the same as someone who did?


Ah, but is there equal opportunity?

Education is free, isn't it?
