Inhumane? To not be extend the futile failure of government run systems to into health care and thereby imprison ourselves as a nation of individuals indefinitely to the whims of a few elitists who place themselves on untouchable, unquestionable, unattainable pedestals??
I'm gonna get beat by Jacks -assuming she doesn't delete this post... Normally I stay out of her "stuff," but the whole health care scene I've recently discovered I take rather personally. -And personally, I find such fitting since I'm one of those pesky people who will be relegated to seeking health care on a regular basis for the remainder of my life due to a chronic disorder. -I'm not one of those healthy people who can say it doesn't really matter. Heaven forbid I care what system I'll be stuck with in the event a liberalized socialized agenda takes hold of the industry.
Gee, let's think here... taking money from one group of people (you know, those ones who have a job and work enough to have tax deductions) to subsidize another group of people who don't do the former... Is that socialism?? I think, kids, it is indeed. That's what you call redistribution of wealth -taking one person's stuff and giving it to another person, whether the persons involved want to or not.
Let's check the dictionary: what is socialism, American Heritage?
so·cial·ism (ssh-lzm)
NOUN:
(1)Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.
Yep. Sounds pretty socialist to me. So I guess that answers that.
And just on a health CARE level, I do have to admit that I'd prefer to leave my health needs in the hands of the licensed, experienced hands of DOCTORS rather than my government who sees me only as a series of 9 numbers in a long, growing, and unending list of 9 number-digits. I always thought that if a person wanted to be a doctor, they would... be a doctor... Not go into politics. I mean, if the government is a doctor or group thereof, why in the world are they a governing body in the first place?? But that's just me. I must be -what's the word? Oh, yeah- inhumane for thinking so.
