So You Do Not Want To Subsidized Those Without Insurance?

So why not just regulate the health insurance companies the way they have other industries. Why get the government involved as a provider of insurance....and possibly make even MORE problems such as we have with the current government programs Medicare/Medicaid?

Have you ever considered being a screenwriter....you write very VIVID responses...had me biting my nails. Seriously, not yet...but coming soon!

If you look at the numbers most of the uninsured either have the money to purchase it and choose not to. There is another large group that qualifies for government programs that provide health insurance and choose not to sign up for the programs. Even under the House Health Care Bill and we will have 25 to 35 millions not covered.

Missybal...lol...I am on your side. I do not advocate the current reform of healthcare. I was asking the OP what he would do if he was a healthcare provider and was faced with someone who had no insurance.

I will respond about the education question since I am here responding again. No matter how difficult times get here in America, I would hate to think that we'd turn into hermits who cared only for ourselves and quit caring for our neighbors. One of the reasons I love my country is because it is populated with kind and giving, and compassionate people. I homeschooled my children, yet I did not mind paying property taxes to fund public education for those who wanted to send their children to public schools. I felt as a citizen it was a benefit to ME and MINE to see all receive an education. Same with paying for medicare and medicaid...even though I have issues with the Dept. of Education, the Dept. of Health and Human Services handling of their programs and mandates...I realize that they do some good and are better than NOTHING.

I apologize by not answering your question in a timely manner, but I had an issue to take care of after I wrote my piece. I did noticed that your child question was changed to and adult, so I will address the adult and not the child. If you wish for me to opine about your child question I can too. Let me address your question this way. If a starving man walked into a restaurant and told the owner/manager, or who ever that he had not eaten for how ever long you want, and informed them that he did not have the money to pay but wanted food any how. The person of the restaurant could handle the starving man any way they wanted to. The people of the restaurant could give the starving man food for one day, hundred days, or no food at all. The only motive that the people of the restaurant is to make money, it is not to provide food. Every hospital that receives one dime in Medicare must treat everyone regardless of insurance status. Insurance is not health care, it is just one tool to pay for that health care service. One can pay for their own medical services out of their own pocket. This way might be expensive, but hospitals do allow payment plans, you just have to explain your situation to them.

Who's your doctor! I pay $75. New patients pay $150. Wow, wish it was that inexpensive here.

A ponzi scheme is a system in which the original investor are paid by new investor money. Under a ponzi scheme investor number 1, 2, 3, and 4 are paid my money from investor 5 through 12. To pay 5 through 12, 13 through 28 are recruited to invest which their investments are given to investor 5 through 12. This scheme goes on until no new investor are recruited and the whole house of cards come crashing down.

Social Security is just a Ponzi scheme. What the government is doing with it is no different than what Madoff did to his victims.

I've wanted to ask...at the risk of seeming stupid...just what IS a ponzi scheme?

When did the Federal government start caring about the Constitution.

When it started getting in the way of what they wanted to do to We The People...

afterall...it's just a d*mn piece of paper!
