If the government can be involved in creating false flags/wars on nations which cost the tax payers money, why cannot they care for once about it's citizens and stop spending the tax money on genocide and grand theft and spend it on education and medical care for everyone??? Let's face it, this government really does not care about it's citizens and it does not care that it is killing the citizens of the nations it is robbing. Money talks and crime walks.

The main problem here is that she is afraid of paying for the irresponsible person's medical bills.

THe problem is the cost of the mentality of the system, mainly the healthy person who gets categorized as irresponsible and does not get treatment. I would rather pay a little too much to help those who might deserve it less(although if you read my first comment I personally do not have such categories) in order to be sure that those who deserve it get their treatment.

As it is now, as the health care system is dictated by profit oriented enterprises, the less people we treat, the better.

"do we want to pay for the head surgery of the guy who did not want to wear a helmet"

1st - Would you be the responsible one to tell that person's family that we were going to let him/her die?
2cnd - What kind of hospital would survey their patients to know the cause of their injuries before operating them. Nice contribution Diane.

That system would be easy to design. Forget about corporate and government input and only think about what sick people need. Decisions based on economics mainly take economics in consideration.

I still can't believe in a so called civilized world we have anyone making ANY PROFIT WHATSOEVER on the illness of other human beings. Pathetic!!
