    Not if you don't use tax money to pay for the freeloaders that demand someone else fund their healthcare. That's an easy problem to solve.

    Why would someone like you that thinks the government needs more money ever take a deduction? That's right, you think the government needs someone else's money not yours.

    Admit it
    Yet she doesn't mind taking deductions that lessens the amount of money she claims the government needs. Why are those like Althea that claim the government needs more money constantly looking for ways for less of theirs to go to the government?

    And you hate it, but you use it to fund your healthcare. At least I realize that SOCiety is a complex issue.

    Since you deny the contents of the Constitution, you obviously have not read it, nor are familiar with any part of its history.

    I am making no analysis. I am quoting the Constitution.

    You don't understand the Constitution is the point.

    You have not a clue. You can quote all you want, but since you are not a legal authority, I will tell you that no one cares.

    Because those are political decisions we have made. We do not have to do it because it is anybody's "human right."

    CFM, you're correct. The words healthcare, airforce, electricity, submarine, do not appear in the original Constitution. But all of those words and healthcare do appear somewhere among the federal statutes and regulations that were later passed and enacted or in other manners complied with the U.S. Constitution.

    Ignorant rightys. Universal healthcare will SAVE you money. You will get care and the cost will go DOWN. If we wrap the VA, Medicare and Medicaid into universal care, it gets even cheaper. Other industrial nations have universal care and do it for half the cost., Universal care will take the cost out of businesses and allow them to compete better across the globe. They eliminate the insurance cost and the cost of administering it.
    You guys cannot think through anything, can you?

    Well...the term 'human right' is a lot like 'Democratic Socialism'. It just doesn't sound right.

    However, healthcare should NOT be based on profits, which is what it is in this country. The only place in the world where profit is the number one consideration for insurance companies.

    We can discuss the problems with the 'free' healthcare systems in the world, but somewhere in the middle is where the answer lies.

    What has that to do with it? Maybe hole in one insurance will drop. Maybe life insurance will too.

    What has that to do with it? What costs more when you purchase auto insurance...collision, or liability?

    I live in Michigan. we were promised a couple of decades ago that voting in no-fault would slash our insurance rates. We pay the highest prices in the nation. I cannot see auto insurance dropping.
