Unfairly taxing a …
Unfairly taxing a minority? You must be kidding. Passive income, dividends, is taxed at a rate of 15%, regular income is commonly at least 30%. Last year the top 1% took in 33% of income. The unfair part is that the top 1/2 of 1% have a lot more to say about our financial, trade, mfg., and political systems. Perhaps you have resigned yourself to being a wage slave in this society. I am not too hot on the idea and neither should you. I have an upper middle class background. So what!

I think there have to be better ways to do it than unfairly taxing a minority. Offering larger tax breaks for more substantial charitable giving is a good way to do it, for example. The problem is in putting a system in place which punishes people who work hard or have ambition and a drive to succeed. I don’t oppose taxing the rich, but taxing them more and punishing them for being successful through their own merit sounds unfair to me and I am lower middle class.

Because doctors and …
Because doctors and lawyers go to school for much longer than anyone else. Why should anyone go to school for eight to twelve years and rack up huge debt in student bills when they don’t get paid more? They earn that money. Nothing except lazyness or lack of ambition is stopping you or anyone else from going to school and becoming a doctor or lawyer.
If you work hard at something you should be rewarded more than the lazy people who didn’t. What is the problem with this paradigm?

The doctors have to …
The doctors have to charge as much as they do because of all the litigation they need to avoid. This idea that doctors are meeting in secret to screw people out of their money is absurd. There needs to be change but the goverment is the problem here, not the doctors. Goverment is the reason things are so broken and we are gonna give them total control now and expect things to be different.
Emotions are toxic to rational thinking. Don’t let all this Good vs Evil propoganda sway your feelings.

Ranet, look deeper into this problem and the biggest culprit is the big pharmas…..and i’ll say it again, we r raised to believe that doctors should be wealthy, lawyers also, why??? because both occupations r necerssary…..there is no reason why anyone should have to lose their house because they needed surgery…..its a big sham!!!!! but your thinking is not on the same page as mine……

How does you …
How does you reasoning put the blame on the Doctors? There is a severe shortage of Doctors – and will be for years to come. Reduce the Drs. pay – they move on to something else (remember – Drs are smart people) then you have no healthcare!

the doctors dont …
the doctors dont want it because they r making money right now!!!! This isnt about the population and whats good for them!!! its about back room meetings of the powerful who have a great game going on and now it will be transformed….

If you let that …
If you let that type of thinking prevail on the part of a minority in this country, you certainly do not deserve a humane society. Let the Globalization sham continue to offshore your jobs. Join the race to the bottom, there’s plenty of company, billions of others. I was once proud of this country but there are now so many lazy, ignorant ’sheeple’ who just let life wash over them. They just live here, this is not ‘their’ country. ‘Taxpayers’, ‘consumers’, that is what they are called now.

Hmmm, about half …
Hmmm, about half the budget is spent on the Pentagon, not much protest over that. There is an occupation in 2 distant lands with U.S. military deaths over 4,000, where’s the protests? Oh, that’s right, they voluteered. So, many people don’t think that the top 2% should’nt have to contribute more, that would be unfair. “Why should I have to pay for someone else?” Why indeed? Why should you think about anyone but yourself and to try and get as much as you can for your self?

We all need to …
We all need to relize that healthcare in america is a privilege not a right. Nomatter how you look at it if you cant afford it you dont get it. What we need to ask ourselfs is should we all be coverd or not? Should we all have the right to go to school or not? Should we all have a law enforcment patrolling our streets or not? There is no right or wrong answer, after all its about what you think not what is moral or just.

I don’t think …
I don’t think socializing healthcare will solve anything. All it will end up doing is killing old people and people the goverment deems not worth the money. Every doctor I talk to has hated the idea. The system needs reform, specifically the disaster that is Medicaid, which drives up the price of everything from what I have read of it. Why would you trust something as evil, greedy, and inefficient as the federal goverment with your life? You think you will fare better with them? Really?
July 28th, 2009 at 9:31 am
That is debatable. …
That is debatable. I feel that no matter how much money we flush into that toilet we call our public school system it won’t get better because the system is broken and run by corrupt officials and the teachers union. I don’t support public healthcare at the cost of private healthcare for that very reason. It will undoubtably be as broken and ty as our public schools are. You are just replacing the greedy insurance company with the greedy federal goverment.

So really, when we …
So really, when we view Insurance within another context, like roads (if they were privatized), or the postal system (which is socialized), or private/public school systems (mixed) we can better understand the debate of health care and remove some of the rheotoric and fear.

It is similiar to …
It is similiar to choosing public or private schools for your kids. Personally, I think by putting kids in private schools, you take money out of the public system which could make better schools for all, including the world in which your own kids will have to play and work in. However, this is America and money talks. At least those who put their kids in private schools still have to pay taxes which go towards schools for all.

This is so funny and so true. They do play it their way and if they don’t like the rules they lobby Congress pay lots of cash and get the rules changed in their favor. We need to take a stand.

I was just run over by the current system. I got caught without a job or insurance when the illness hit. The current system has screwed me good. I need help but I’m just outside the qualifications for istance. I now owe over 20K and have no income.

Heres a rundown of money that the people who are blocking real reform in health care have received from the health care industry:
Specter ($4,02m)
Baucus ($2,8m)
McConnell ($2.7m)
When you take a look at Big Insurance, the non-presidential candidates who got biggest legalized bribes were the 7 senators tasked with the job of killing single-payer:
Nelson ($1.1m)
Baucus ($1.1m)
Lieberman ($1.03m)
Specter ($1.03m)
Schumer ( $0.98m)
McConnell ($0.93m)
Grassley ($0.88m)

I have worked in this industry for many years. I have been to New Orleans. I was part of the Hurricane relief Team in 05 & 06 and you can not tell me this video is 100% true! Look up the AAJ top 10 worst insurance companies. It speaks for its self.

Imgine if a corporation owned all the roads. Imagine if you had to buy your driver’s license. Basically imagine that roads were run the way airports are.
The lines at the DMV may suck but if a corporation ran it then they would charge you whatever you could afford to pay because they know you have to drive. So I can easily imagine it costing $100 a month for a license to drive.
And then there would be tons of restrictions and fees for things like “left turns”.
Think people.

Actually, Obama’s plan gives you a choice. You can choose a public health insurance plan like Medicare, or you can choose a private insurer’s plan. And they ALL have to play by the SAME rulesnot cherrypick who they’ll cover or exclude by pre-existing conditions or changing your coverage out of the blue. If the private insurers truly are competitive & interested in providing health coveragerather than reaping windfall profitsthey shouldn’t have any problem. Right?
