Do You Think Obama is a Socialist... Do You Care?

Superchunk, we already have nationalized health care for kids, the elderly and the poor.  Why do we need a far larger, more bloated, more expensive doomed to fail system to coincide with it?

We have? So the millions of kids without health care I see and read about are myth? Also, what time machine do you have that lets you know the finalized version will fail?

Other nations have far larger systems that seem to function just as well as our current one, except everyone is covered.

Again, its easier to be selfish and just say fuck them, I don't want to potentially pay anything more. Let them die.

Kids without Healthcare are only those whose parents who refuse to buy them healthcare.

It's why Obama's original healthcare plan... the one he campaigned on was... "I'm going to pass a law that forces parents to buy their children healthcare."

Any child who wouldn't have access to it would be eligiable for Medicaid or CHIP.

It's not really a myth so much as a discussion as to rather parents should be forced to make descisons regarding their children.

Should they be forced to buy insurance or should they play on the odds their children won't be sick so they'll have more money for their children later in life.
