Sicko--

[Fosgate]

Not a Michael Moore fan but I downloaded his latest "Sicko" and watched it for something to do. It talks about the nations healthcare system and how it's such a dismal failure. (After all we're what #37 in the world (Just above Cuba) and 2nd to last for clinic waiting times) And then you see that Hilary tried to go for it during her husbands first year in office and she's been bought off since and has joined in the club that's fleecing this country. Then I go online and look at Obama, Hilary and McCains Healthcare plans and none of them are really pushing towards a social reform structure of medical assistance but I think I'm totally turned off by the Democrats plan. I swear, if something doesn't change soon I might look at moving to another country who doesn't fleece it's own citizens. Don't get me wrong, I love this country but It just seems that no one from county legislature on up just doesn't give a crap what they do with our money anymore and the general population does not want to rock the boat. Soemthing needs to change.

You Know I don't have a problem with my taxes going to help someone that puts in a days hard work and still ends up on the short end of the stick, but I have a huge problem with the people that sit all day on the couch pumping kids out to stay on top of the max benefits that complain they can hardly pay for smokes let alone the oxygen tank refills and have a reason for every question why they can't work. Things need to change at the hand-out level before I would support government assistance in medical. Before you say that its only a few bad apples, I live in a medium sized "rural" town and personally know at least 5 families that fit this description. Not being a statistics expert I can only speculate that it translates into a pretty significant number of people currently bucking the welfare system.

The problem is that you're already paying their way. When they don't pay their bills who picks up the tab now......The rest of us, whether through social programs or increased costs when we go to the doctor. I agree though, it's a good flick, everyone should watch it.

Before you get what you ask for you need only to look at how our public employess wage/benefit programs,public schools, social security and the Vets Hospitals are run and then ask yourself, Do I really want these clowns in charge of my healthcare also?

let me see if I understand this correctly, you don't like your health care system because it costs so much for the user, so you want to move to another country (probably Canada) so you can mooch off the efforts of hard working Canadians?

FYI, Governments don't have magic wands to pay for health care. If you come here and use our system, my taxes go up. Thanks for thinking of us but I would rather you moved to Mexico if you are doing it just to get free health care.
