House GOP on health care: For repeal, not replace

[Rolyo85]

Actually, all Americans want cheaper and better healthcare. At least all Americans who have had to deal with it.

And yeah, the whole first world is crumbling, except for the US, because you spend so much money on inefficient healthcare. Thank god for private insurance companies!

Polls show that most Americans are satisfied with their healthcare:

Only the freeloaders and other welfare recipients want it to be otherwise.

Again - Healthcare should be a right, not a privilege. Otherwise you might as well be third world where only the crime lords have access to good care.

Wrong. In this country we are guaranteed equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome. You get what you pay for (unless, of course, you're on the dole, which is how democrats buy votes).

 

[Rolyo85]

No, not wrong. This is NOT a benefit, not an outcome or something you should have to earn. You earn your money, your social status and everything else, but HEALTH IS NOT A PRIVILEGE and not something you should have to EARN. Any country that decides it should be so, is barbaric.

Reardon, I don't think you understand that many people CANNOT pay for it. It's atrocious. Please study the healthcare systems of Scandinavia. When you're done with those, move to Western Europe. The Scandinavians are the happiest people on the whole damn planet. They pay upwards of 50% taxes on income and they're STILL the happiest. They have the best healthcare plans, pensions, school options and they are appreciative of the services they pay for. The Western Europeans are the second tier and they're still VERY satisfied.

Again, it's not a benefit. It's a service. You may make your fortune, but everyone should have access to affordable, effective and quality healthcare.
