Idiots... Anybody can walk in to ANY regional hospital and they MUST be provided medical care.

But here's a few to get you girls started. Notice that they mention specific things like "FREE MEDICAL CARE FOR LOW INCOME FAMILIES".

Care to try to tell me - again - that medical assistance for low-income Americans does NOT exist?

What world do you people live in?

I was laughing at you telling him to get out of the house and read something not on the Internet, then he posts Link?

no where did I disagree with you.... any hospital in MA that I have been in has a sign right on the counter saying that you will not be denied care if you can't pay and all that MAss health info.

on the other hand if you have health insurance they will hunt you to the end of the earth for your co-payment......

The fact still stands that there is medical assistance available to low-income families across America.

It's not PRIVATE healthcare insurance.

The "40 million Americans without healthcare" line is crap. It's an absolute lie.

That's all good dude.. But why do you get so worked up if somebody wants completely free medical treatment for any body and everybody who needs it?

What's wrong in demanding that your government spend less on weaponry and more on health?

The point is that while you fly into a rage when your hard earned tax dollars are used to treat a person's ailments, i hardly hear any criticism of a 78 billion dollar war. Aren't those your tax dollars being used stupidly?

Ok forget about the Iraq war. How about military spending in general. The US army far outranks any other armed force on the planet in terms of advanced technology. How much more powerful does it need to get?
Often the answer is terrorism. Well i think it's been sufficiently proven that terrorism can not be combatted by a LARGER army. It requires a SMARTER army. That means smarter purchases and smarter usage of existing capabilities. And less burden on you as a tax payer. In my mind that is a more valid place to vent your anger on the government's spending.

In my opinion, universal free healthcare is of higher priority than military spending. So have a go at that why don't you.

Nice off-topic post.

But I digress...


The only people who want FREE universal health-care are the people who do NOT understand that it is NOT FREE.

When I flipped burgers I got $1.00 an hour. That was 1965. Raising the minimum wage does only one thing and that is raise everyone elses also. You gain nothing. Flipping burgers in those jobs was not designed for a living wage for people unless you want to be a manager or supervisor. They are entry jobs for high school kids or retired people to supplement as you go through school. If that is your vocation, then you really don't have much on the ball to begin with and just need the government to raise your wage every so often because you don't have what it takes to advance yourself. That is socialism.

That is a complete LIE! Most people on minimum wage are normal working adults trying to make a living.

Stop this crass republican propanganda and let's make a positive change for people struggling every day.


I would LOVE for the republicans on this site to freeze their bank accounts, have no access to their health insurance and try to survive with at least 1 child living on minimum wage for a couple months.

They would come 180 on the need to raise the minimum wage.

I disagree with you. I say most people on minimum wage are either people in school, retired, or illegal aliens. Do you have any data to disprove my opinion? You better have because you just called me a liar.

That's how I feel. When I was 16, I worked at McDonalds making a little more than the minimum wage just so I can have play money...

Shoot, my oldest son was going to college - and making $10 per hour, plus benefits, throwing boxes for UPS. He was 20 at the time. He was working part time, and had much better health insurance that I have.

Minimum wage, my butt!

You are under the mistaken assumption that companies print their own money to pay their employees. The truth, however, is that a company that is making no money cannot pay ANYthing to ANY employees - regardless of what Federal minimum wage is.
