For those who say "why the hell should I fork out my cash etc etc etc" what would happen if you lost your job and could no longer afford the insurance... and a family member of yours becomes ill... I bet you'd be bloody grateful for a state health system then hmm?

I'm sorry, but to me personally the view of "Its my money! miiinee! I don't want to ever help anyone else with a health system" is a very selfish approach to things. Christ the US is one of the wealthiest nations in the world... the least you can do is HELP people instead of counting your pennies and reveling in your wealth at the expense of others who may be desperate for help. Not everyone who might need a state health service will be a junkie or some alchy begging off the street. From what I've read online and on these very forums there are a lot of honest good people in some serious **** because they lost their jobs and can't afford the mortgage on their homes.

The US makes itself out to be a beacon of wealth and living the good life.... maybe it would be even better if you guys decided to go put yourself out JUST A LITTLE BIT to help those maybe not quite so fortunate as yourself!
