Healthcare isn't a business, it's peoples lives

How is each dollar a segment of your life? You can survive just fine without money, people did it for thousands of years.

 

If I make 6 dollars an hour, a dollar represents 10 minutes, as that’s how much time it took me to earn a dollar.

If you take $600 from me, you have in effect taken 100 hours of my time away from me. I could have just done something else with those 100 hours. Something more self fulfilling then working for 6 bucks an hour.

If you make 6 dollars an hour, a socialized healthcare system would extend your life by more than 100 hours compared to a private healthcare system.

 

 

If Americans lived in a world where 6 bucks an hour was something they were forced to make (meaning they could never make more money, like a class system if you will), then I would agree with you.

If I lived in a country where one was limited to how much money they could make, then I would be for forcing the upper class to pay for the lower class. It would be there duty. I live in a country where anyone can become anything, as long as they work hard for it.

With that system, it puts the responsibility on the individual (where it belongs) to make sure they live a long, and happy, life.
 
You want more out of life? Work for it. Don’t make someone else work for it.
