I can tell you now that if you worked in a job where there was a high risk of bodily harm to yourself (I'm assuming that at 100k you don't), you wouldn't be so keen to shuffle the poor out of hospitals. Poor does not necessarily equal lazy.
I worked many dangerous jobs as I made my way through university, paying my own tuition.
I worked with many of the lazy types, I know them well. They are freeloaders, and they don't deserve my hard earned money, sorry.
The great thing about America, like EVE, is that you can be whatever you want, without the government telling you otherwise (unless you have a criminal record of course)
The last thing this country needs is giving our already intrusive government more ways to dictate how we live. That's what Democrats want, to tell us how to live, and not let us figure it out ourselves. Healthcare, retirement, you name it. They want to dictate that to us. NO!
Yes the system needs to revamped, but it can be done in a non-socialist way, an American way and be more successful than any other system out there. But I fear, too many stupid Americans are falling for the Democratic scare tactics, and will vote in someone like Hillary that will only make things worse for ppl like short term, and for everyone long term...
Dark Matter. All your arguments seem to be based on the fact that everyone can work hard and pay insurance like you, and if not they are just lazy hippies like you met when in collage.
I am from the UK and my wife is from the USA. Her family live in a relatively prosperous, hard working, middle class and very friendly community in a smallish town in the mid-west. I didn't even know about the other side of the town for the first few visits, until one friend of the family who lives near the 'boarder' was moaning about the gun shots nearly every night.
People would take me all over the area showing me the sights, but no one would show me the other side of town. When pushed one family member took me a few streets in one afternoon, but then did a U-turn saying that was far enough as we had my son with us.
Coming from the multi-cultural Eurpoean 'nanny state' city of London, I found this level of segregation stunning to be honest, and I doubt the hardest working and most able youngsters from the other side of town had much chance of making it to your collage. After being born into a community living in a situatiion like this how many would be likely to want to anyway? With this
levels of social segregation in the USA it is easy to have an 'out of sight out of mind' opinion and group 'them' all together as wasters.

In the UK we may have waiting lists for serious illnesses, but I know that I won't ever have to make some kind of incredibly grotesque choice such as which finger do you want to keep?
We don't have to make those kind of choices either, not sure where you get your information from, Oh that's right, from idiots like Moore...

sure you have the right to opinions, but when they are as pathetic and purile as yours, please try to keep them to yourself to save the rest of us your disease.
As soon as all the ***** liberals around here stop voicing their opinions, I'll do the same...
Just think, there are more people that think like I do on this topic in the US than you have living in your coountry... So come over and tell us all how wrong we are..
People are easily led when fed a diet of jingoism and fear, 1930s Germany being an example.
