If you can't afford food, what do you do? Go to charity, family, friends.. or starve. Why should health care be different?

...because we can do better.

Have to what, commit a crime to get health care? Why should he have any? He is unemployed.. The guy paid into the system for years...then falls on hard times and it's out the door with him?

Sorry, I think we can do better.

Not sure on Education. I see it both ways. It is required by the govt for everyone, so they can earn from your success (TAXES), so everyone pays into it, to receive it. Socialist!!

...children of the unemployed get to go to school, too, you know.

BUT i also feel public/govt run schools should NOT be up to the level private ones are. Not sure what you are getting at here...public schools should be dumbed down to below the private schools? Huh?

Or private schools should have to meet higher standards? What?

Look at most every country through out history. If you could not work to get food, you either starved, or became a slave. WHY should that no longer be true? Can you name a country where working people eat well and the unemployed were left to starve?

I'm not talking about famine countries or anything...I mean countries with a vibrant economy that let their unemployed starve. If it is "every country in history", this should be easy.

That to me is more of an issue with the fact doctors ARE greedy, instead of serving the people like they used to in the old west days. More than a "awe, poor didums. Lets badger the govt into giving you health care".. So, you think doctors should work for less than what the market will pay, out of sense of service to the greater good of the community?

Liberal!! Socialist!!
