Sticker #050: Standardized Healthcare

Comments for Sticker #050: Standardized Healthcare

I have never in my life had health insurance because I was raised by people without conventional jobs and health insurance is just too damn expensive. Thank god my siblings and I are healthy people and were healthy kids because it would have been really expensive if we got sick. It seems to me that you can judge a society by how it really cares for it's people and that this is pretty much the pinnacle. The ultimate goal for any government should be to create a viable situation where nobody is hungry, cold, or sick. A place where we could all be ok. Too bad the government doesn't really care about anybody. AngryHana
It's about time for the higher incomes to start footing the bill! They get enough off in "death taxes" and corporate welfare than it would cost to run a no-cost healthcare. Who needs it? The people who are dying or incur debt they can NEVER repay because of the way this shitty for-profit healthcare system is run. Healthcare should not be an industry, it should be a social service.

I still haven't gotten my medicaid approved, and when I do, I won't qualify for dental, even though my teeth are so jacked up it's too painful to eat sometimes. My friends have their teeth rotting out and can do nothing but wait for the decay to stop when there's nothing left to chew with. I'm on a waiting list just to be seen by a dentist, but when I do, I'm pretty sure I won't get free braces, which is what I need to correct my problems, which get worse by the month. I'd gladly stand in line three days to be seen by a healthcare professional. I'm sick of using tea and tylenol, I want someone to give me a pap smear and tell me how i'm doing in there. Especially since I'm 7 months pregnant. Right now I pay for my checkups at my birthing center in cash, and if I couldn't get that together, I would be shit out of luck, having a home birth in missouri with no midwife, because midwives here are illegal and they're too afraid to come to your birth, as they might well lose their license. haley
Prove it. Canada has socalized medicine ... and 4 out of 5 Canadaians are unhappy with their healthcare system. Yeah, no-cost healthcare for all sounds good, until you're the one waiting for 3 days to get seen in the ER. Besides, socalized healthcare is like a flat tax rate ... those with higher incomes are really the ones footing the bill. PhatDub20v

Guess the letters and numbers (passphrase riddle) -- 'R' +3 letters - 1 chars before small B, (??? - 6) = -4, 3 chars before D ; :8:, → retype that here
Because of ridiculous spambots, you must prove you are a human by retyping this scrambled number/letter scheme. Once proven human, you can post freely for a month.
