In a perfect world there would be no costs involved in health care. But everybody gotta get paid. From the guy sweeping the floor to the brain specialist.

Is the guy sweeping the floor earning enough to drive a Jag? Own a second or third home?

Depends on how he's managed his money...Or if he's union. Used Jags aren't that expensive.

But they do. Nobody cares about you - just your money.

I must disapprove of this avatar as well. It lack substance, is not the least bit funny, and indicates that you did not spend enough time seeking a new one.

No, who they are going to deny are these people: the little girl with the broken arm whose parents are too poor to pay, the father of three who had a heart attack but doesn't make enough money to pay, the single mom with Strep throat who doesn't have enough money to pay.

Anymore questions?

And so by definition, health care isn't really care, it should be called profit care.

Now you've got it. If you cause the insurance companies to lose money by your utter insistance on getting sick or injured, you don't deserve to be treated. That shit insurance policy you got from Shoneys is the minimum the company is required to offer you by law. Try actually using it when you get sick. Some pimple-faced insurance fuck will have to approve it (which he won't), you'll have to get three separate medical opinions to determine that your leg is indeed detached from your body, and, you will have to be treated at a hospital 160 miles away where your insurance company has a contract.
