Healthcare debate

[BnLM5]

In the UK, we pay a set amount out of our wages each week/month.

On wages of £300 ($500 a week), i usually pay $45 or so in National Insurance.

This gives me free healthcare at all time, and hugely discounted dental

This all sounds wonderful but you pay weekly and religiously for this health care yet you wait, how long for dental care when you are in pain?

It would be great if every American had free health care. By doing this but then the next thing you know they have you in jail because you can't afford health care, Just like car insurance. The cost are unGodly amounts.

Nonetheless right now at this time there are Sooooooo many American people who are unemployed the numbers are in the millions. (Employment Situation Summary) What about health care for them or their children?

This is way too much thought for me right now..... Gawd I hate politics!

To be fair, national health care CAN work in smaller countries, and it does. It just won't work here.

I am now a leftist. how funny. I didn't even vote.
But I trust the ones we did vote for to make the decisions.
I didn't vote because I live in a County of 75% Republicans and in a state of 75% Democrats. The last time I voted was as an independent.

I choose to except life as it comes and not make waves.
I am the perfect American. Yes sir. I will send my children to fight in our wars. I will not protest. This new world was meant to be, we have been indoctrinated for decades to be except this.

We will have chips in our arms and you can't stop it.

I have a brother preparing for his second tour. I respect him and all the people in the military. But I still don't support this war.

I agree with no voting though. I refuse to vote in anything but local elections as long as the outdated electoral college is in place.

Your main problem is that you trust the men in office to make the right decisions. It's your duty as an American to NOT give them free reign with their power and to speak up when they do something objectionable.

This new world is meant to be? What does that even mean? By who? God? Ronald McDonald? Michael Vick? The most American thing an American can do is question their government.

"We the people of the United States of America in order to form a more perfect union....." I tend to agree it is our duty as Americans to pay attention and be aware of what is going on within our government. If this were not so it would be entirely corrupt by the simple ways of nature. Obviously some people are more passionate for one thing in life and others are more focused on something entirely different and always at the same time. We all have our own set of priorities in life every single day and they are always different list. Because "you are you and I am me". We are all at different places in life. People have different values, morals, ideas, and opinions and that is okay. Just because we disagree on this or that does not mean you are wrong or that I am wrong it just means that we disagree. Just because one person does things differently and depends on faith and trust in a given situation does not make him a leftist nor does the fact that the other may go on intuition/gut feeling and desire to be a part of keeping things orderly and in check mean that person is too active in politics. I believe that change can be a good thing in some situations and a not so good thing in another. But the fact remains that we will face change always nothing stays the same not even the weather. If we all were pure at heart, and we are not, it would be a perfect world but it is not. And I am sure the worst of this is yet to come.

I don't remember where I read this but I love it so I will share as I believe it is a good time...

Look at snowflakes each one uniquely shaped and beautiful, very light and would melt away easily as it lands alone.... But look what snowflakes can do when they stick together.... They can move the earth and crush anything that gets in its way.

Well thank you for reading my long philosophical post! I can't believe you only had three words to nay say. lol If you are talking about an abyss of a burning hell I will agree with you. But you can't tell me that a very large snow ball, or an avalanche of snow will not put out a measly fire pit! My Nay Sayer Friend!
