Those who do not have it A) cannot afford the very expensive price of getting healthcare not through an employer and B) work at jobs that put them just above the levels of getting the current government paid options, yet the job itself doesn't offer healthcare. Those are the specific, hardworking people that we should help. You guys make it sound like parents are choosing luxury cars over healthcare. lol. Every nation in the world that isn't deathly poor, has social programs to help out those in need regardless of their government style. It is simply immoral to not try to help those you can and based on they amount of money this nation creates, we can. |
People who can not afford healthcare for their children qualify for SCHIP.
These parents are in fact not choosing healthcare for their children because they believe that money is better spent elsewhere.
Private insurance for children is actually pretty cheap by the way.
Also... with this being what this healthcare is based on... not too optimistic.
A scapel is needed to fix healthcare. Not a hammer that will break and lead to fully accepted discrimination like europe.
