No, your lack of understanding is what is showing. You indicated that

you could get great medical care, but it was expensive, same is true in

most countries - the quality medical care is expensive and out of the

reach of people that are "Poor". And that is just like America.

What's really sad is how right wingers think only the rich should

receive top notch medical care. Everybody else, you say screw them.

The FACT is people can be poor for a variety of reasons, some beyond

their control. What's you solution, put them on the curb and hope some

truck picks them up and carts them off so we as a society don't have

to deal with it?

Can you do simple math? There are roughly 300,000,000 people in the

United States. Assuming you don't think children should work, A rough

estimate would be there are about 150,000,000 adults. Not all families

need or want to have both the wife and husband both work, but lets

keep the math simple. If the national unemployment rate is under 5%

that's about 7,000,000 adults unemployed. How do your account for the

40,000,000 that don't have health insurance?

 

Sure, there are always going to be people that play the system and

would rather buy a six pack a night instead of putting that money

aside towards medical insurance or blow it on something else silly.

Still there are tens of millions of hard working people that simply

can't afford medical insurance. They make a choice, hmm what should I

do, feed my children, be sure they have a roof over their heads, be

sure they're not running around naked or oh I know... I'll buy health

insurance. You right wingers are blithering idiots! You simply don't

think things through. People buy insurance IF they can afford it. If

they can't afford it then things like food, shelter, clothing comes

first. Understand yet?

Now you make an ever stupider argument. You think people want to be

poor? News Flash... MOST people want to better themselves. You're not

the only one that clawed his way up the ladder, that's the American

dream, hundreds of millions have done it, not just you. The point that

zooms over your head is there will always be poor people that often

for reasons out of their control need help. If 40,000,000 people don't

have health insurance any reasonable person understands if they happen

to be in a serious accident or develop a major illness that it is

likely is going to wipe them out financially. Heck, that can happen

even if you have health insurance. It isn't that people don't want

health insurance, many simply can't afford it. When will people like

you wake up and understand that?

Well buster you government so far has stole close to a trillion

dollars of American's tax dollars fighting an unnecessary war in Iraq

with no end in sight. How do you feel about that? YOU'RE paying for

it! Was it got us? So far over 3,000 American dead, the United States

hated, way over a 100,000 innocent civilian in Iraq butchered. What a

waste!

 

You're living in a fantasy world. For every one of your "bums" that

don't try, there are a 1,000 that do try and simply can't afford

health insurance. It's a national disgrace. Did you know the United

States is the ONLY Western country that doesn't provide basic health

care for it's citizens? You have any idea how many senior citizens and

children die prematurely because they don't get good medical care?

The fact that you can't separate those that are poor because of items

beyond their control, and those that are poor by their lack of

drive/motivation shows that you're not really interested in helping the

poor. For the people that are not capable of helping themselves, as I've

already said, I believe in helping them, for those that are poor because

of bad decisions, bad planning, bad morals, bad ethics, bad

desire/motivation, because they expect to be taken care of, I have no

compassion for them.

 

Why do you want to help people that don't want to help themselves that

are fully capable of helping themselves - that would make up the vast

majority of the Poor.

If they want benefits then they better BOTH be working or at least one

of them should be working two or more jobs, anything less is just

wanting someone else to take care of them.

And you've already been told that your number is Hype - all 40,000,000

have access to health care and most of them take advantage of it.

Yep, you want to steal money from people that work hard to GIVE it to

people that are not willing to work hard so that they can stay at the

level they currently are at.

There you go again, making excuses for why people that don't want to

work harder need to steal money from those that do and are working, so

that they don't have to work harder. At no point have I said we should

not support people that "can't" support themselves, but you keep harping

on that point.

Actually, it's the people with Health Insurce that get wiped out by a

serious condition - the POOR are written off and hospitals never collect

from them. It's the Middle Class that get attacked because they are

working, can pay, and have a home - the poor don't have a loss because

the insurance/hospitals know they can't collect from them - so it goes,

the people that work get screwed again.

Explain to me why the Poor, masses, are poor - and don't include the

people that CAN'T get out, which would be less than 1% of the poor.

So, explain to me why the masses of Poor are poor, and I'm not talking

about the Disabled and children under the age of 18?

 

Now, explain to me how poor can be helped to become not poor?

 

If you really believe what you are saying then it should be very easy to

clearly define why the capable poor are poor still and what it would

take to elevate them out of being poor.

And, if I recall, discrimination of those types is illegal in the US.

 

As it is where someone else in this thread said they went to a hospital to

have a baby delivered, but had no insurance so they were turned down. This

is completely illegal in the US. A hospital can not refuse medical services

because you have no insurance. (I'm not saying it doesn't happen, just that

it is illegal to do so.)

You got to be kidding. EVERY society has a multi-tier social structure

where a certain percentage does the work that's viewed as beneath

others. It has always been so in America. Read a history book before

you aimlessly flap your gums. The Irish, Germans, Italians, Polish,

others from Europe and more recently large numbers of Latinos,

Orientals as well as blacks have filled jobs others didn't want and

won't do.

 

To you, these people are lazy, they don't want to get ahead, they

don't work hard enough or maybe they need a second or third job, your

words, they want to remain poor. Gee man, how ignorant are you anyway?

 

As tragic as that is the rest of the story is Joe six pack makes up a

large portion of the 40 million plus that can't afford health care

insurance. What right wing fat cats don't see and obviously don't give

a damn about is up and down main street in every American town people

struggle to make ends meet. They barely get by. Maybe if they're lucky

they have a few thousand in savings and if something bad happens like

a serious car accident or cancer they can get wiped out financially.

You don't care. Obviously, you've made that clear.

 

America's health care system is corrupt top to bottom, based on greed,

run by a handful of evil and I do mean evil corporations including the

insurance and drug companies and obviously all the health care

providers who can override your doctor's option. They bribe Congress

and pay lobbyists to write laws to keep the gravy train running and

you sit there and clap your hands while people die. Pathetic!

 

How insane is a medical system when a doctor that has invested at

least a dozen years in higher education and years more hands on

training as a resident and then more years in practice has to get

permission to do a procedure from some nitwit sitting is some cubicle

a thousand miles away who's salary is based in part in how effective

he is in denying benefits?

 

As baby boomers enter their 60's the crisis will rapidly grow. What's

your solution? You want grandma and grandpa to work until they drop

Why avoid the question?

 

Why are poor people poor?

 

What does it take for a "Poor" person to become non-Poor?

Amazing how many weak minded little twits need to edit what the other

That's like asking why are black people black. You question is totally

illogical.

For filthy rich fat cat right wing SOB's like Dickey boy Cheney to pay

their fair share of taxes and not get windfall tax breaks. Then maybe

more "poor" workers could afford to buy health insurance.

 

Let me know when you get tired of me beating you up verbally. -)

It's not illogical and it's got an answer and it's not like your

diversionary argument for not answering it. Try again, this time remove

your hate and prejudice and think about what keeps people poor.

You are not beating anything, except yourself. It's very telling as to

your true desire when you can't answer a question that will prove you

wrong.

I don't address stupid questions, I rather point out the stupidity in

the logic of the person asking them.

 

Your whole speal is poor people are poor because they like to be and

are too lazy to try to better themselves. That sir is nothing but a

big load of what comes out of a bull's rear end.

 

Trying to say people want to remain poor is like saying people prefer

to be sick and don't really want to get well. That's looney. Nobody

wants to be poor and just scrap by, however being poor is a fact of

life for many and for reasons beyond their control in many situations.

Simplistic answers you tried to push like get a second job, try

harder, is again just more of what comes out that bull's rear end.

 

Tell you what, I have a uncle in California that runs a produce farm.

While most of the workers are Mexican, I'm sure they would welcome you

with open arms especially after you tell them they don't work hard and

they're lazy and rather dumb.

 

I can give my uncle a call and I'm sure he'll be happy to give you a

job working out in the fields in 120 degree heat harvesting lettuce or

maybe you rather pick cabbage. Job doesn't pay much, but if you want

to scrap enough together to pay your health insurance premium I'm sure

my uncle will let you work a second shift and maybe he'll even give

you a little more if you work on Sundays too. We got a deal?

You need to cut Adam HopaLong loose. He just runs around looking to duel, as

he rides in on his little broom he calls Silver with his size two shoes

hopelessly trying to kick some behind. That's what the boy lives for. :)

Hey, we're talking about health care here, not welfare. An employer

would have to cover an employee. An independent contractor would have to

cover himself or herself. Someone who is poor and can't afford health

care would pay what they could or nothing. That's fair no matter how you

want to brag about yourself or claim, erroneously, that the poor choose

to be poor.

And the left has a LOCK on knowing the truth? lol The extremes on both

sides have made any agreement on common ground that might be beneficial

to the masses a pipe dream.
