Examples......
You can certainly find similar sentiments in just about any healthcare thread. So my question is this, if 47 million Americans are to be considered to be uninsured (and I won't bother going into the breakdown of that, we'll just assume they are all citizens and tax payers or dependents of tax payers), then that means there is about 283 million Americans and/or dependents that are covered under some form of either private or government sponsored healthcare.
Are 85% of Americans "rich"?
How is it my wife and I are lower middle class with 2 kids, and we afford a healthcare plan while contributing to an HSA as well?
This was the response....Let's have an exchange of populaces - our "nationalize health care" folks can go over there and enjoy the many benefits of the NHS, and their free-market folks can come over here and suffer the higher cancer survival rates, shorter waiting periods, and other indemnities of a healthcare market which we then actually allow to function as a market.
And another...Yeah, assuming they're lucky, or otherwise rich.
Well if they're rich enough they can get all that. If they're poor, they just die.
