Question by happygirl49221: How can anyone deny someone health insurance and feel good about it?
The whole idea that Obama is trying to get healthcare for all is wonderful and he will not give up. I am so proud. How does anyone else feel about it? If someone believes different I would like to know why..I feel its a moral obligation to take care of our own. As people are dying everyday because they have no health insurance.I have been answering all these questions and decided to ask my own.I truely would like to hear a good reason why someone couldnt care less about another person.

Answer by Mr Pink
Why should I have to pay for someone else? Health care is a privilege not a right. We should take all the weak non working losers who can’t pay for themselves out on an island somewhere and leave them there. Born blind? Too bad. Born to a crack addicted hooker? Too bad. Couldn’t afford an education? Too bad. Mentally disabled? Too bad. Life isn’t some joy ride where everything is peachy. It’s tough, and people need to either pull themselves up by the bootstraps or just lay down. Let those of us who have it good keep having it good in peace.
Good day.
I hope you caught the irony.

On a more serious note:
The tax system in our country is in shambles, and our priorities are backwards. Corporations run amok. One need only look at the systematic denial of insurance claims in the name of profits. How much is enough? What I don’t understand is how people, individuals, can sit back and justify it. Why doesn’t every individual see that corporations have too much power? I don’t know if you read the stories coming out of Florida about homeowners who bought houses built with toxic drywall from China being denied insurance claims and then dropped after making them, but it’s disgusting. Why should the homeowner be punished for a technicality in the contract? In a rational America, the Insurance company would be obligated to repair the damage (the point of having insurance) and then the appropriate person would be billed afterward.
It is no strange thing that the insurance companies are fighting this legislation, they don’t want to be in a spot where they have to cut profits, even if its the right thing to do. Let’s hope that the right thing is finally done and corporations are put in their place.

Question by TheTruth09: How do you Americans feel about your health care system?
I’m from Canada so I’m used to the long lines, mediocre treatment, etc. How would you describe the health care you guys receive? Is it costly? Do you get high quality treatment? And, in general, how do you feel about the idea of having to pay for health care?

I work, but I work part time, I have alot going on right now in my life so I don’t have time for a full time job. I may be pragrant but I’m not 100% sure yet.

Oh and I live in Baltimore, Maryland, if that helps.

You cant’t get insured if your pregnant (considered pre existing) however there are plans through your state that may be able to help you. If you go to a local pregnancy / womens clinic they should lead you in the right direction.

Question by pdooma: What do you want fixed about health care in order to improve quality of care?
Tangible stuff, kids. List the fixes you want to see. And please say your political affiliation. I’d love to see where everyone overlaps.

It’s not about health INSURANCE. It’s health CARE. There’s a difference. It’s not just “You pay for it” or “Government pays for it”, since those discuss insurance, not the quality of care.

Question by Charles Veidt: What do you think about health care from a morality perspective?
I’m not referring to any individual health care bill or idea for reform. I’m talking only about the concept of health care itself.

Do you believe a society that considers itself advanced has any moral obligations to care for the sick?

Do you believe everyone should fend for themselves? If so, are you comfortable with the fact that while that means some abusers of the system (whatever that may be) will die, so too will some who are innocent?
