There is so much misinformation out there that i am scared to see what will come out of this new move towards giving most of of the population in the country the option to see a dr and not worry about how much it will cost and if they are going to go broke.
Dont forget that a person who visits a dr and is checked regularly, versus only going to the emergency room in extreme situations ends up costing everyone less money.

I don't have any problems with people getting their own health care plan, I just don't want to pay for it, because they should. Why should our tax dollars go to cover morons who can't seem to stop producing children they can't afford? Why should our tax dollars go towards covering people who eat fast food all the time, smoke, do drugs, etc? I don't think we should, it's up to them to get covered.
If you have a bottom rung job with no benefits, perhaps it's time to think and say "geeez, I have no health care coverage and not a lot of extra money laying around, maybe I shouldn't have kids right now". But no, people think they are entitled to do that, and that is fine with me. But don't start crying about how someone needs to help you out when you made all these choices on your own, unless of course all these kids born into poverty were conceived at gunpoint (quick hint - they weren't). I am so tired of seeing other people being FORCED to take care of the sick, weak and lazy. It should be up to them to cover their own rear ends. If people, like yourself presumably, feel so passionatly about making sure everyone is taken care of, then by all means, feel free to give as much of your money away as you want. Me? I prefer to keep as much as I can for MY FAMILY and then if I feel the desire to help someone else out, I can do so.
