How about you pay for your own health care? ~ Eleanor, Sun Nov 26 6:50pm

And I will pay for mine and if you let me decide what is “needed” for me, I will let you decide what is “needed” for you. It is time for a flat tax in which everyone pays the same percentage and then ... more
- Yes, yes, yes! Let health insurance companies compete ~ Curmudgeon , Mon Nov 27 6:19pm
- How about if I drop dead. ~ DFM, Sun Nov 26 9:10pm
  
  Suppose that I cannot afford it due to special circumstances. Am I supposed to simply drop dead? DFM
- - Right now, under OCare, if you cannot AFFORD insurance... ~ TEXRA, Mon Nov 27 5:32am
    
    ...YOU GET FINED! Trump is doing away with that part of OCare.
  - - Not true. (nm) ~ clint (I), Mon Nov 27 12:27pm
    - The so-called free market is not a cure! (nm) ~ PH💉💊EY, Mon Nov 27 7:41am
  - Do you want me to pay for your funeral? ~ Eleanor, Sun Nov 26 9:13pm
    
    How about I pay for mine and you pay for yours? That seems fair. Just my opinion, of course.
  - - LOL,Ya can't take it with you. (nm) ~ clint(I), Mon Nov 27 12:29pm
    - "Every man for himself" isn't how our species evolved. ~ Poppet, Mon Nov 27 10:09am
      
      We're a cooperative species...
    - - At the pack/tribe level I agree... ~ Sprout, Tue Nov 28 7:35am
        
        I hunt to feed the tribe and others can see that. Others gather to feed the tribe and I can SEE that. Others watch my children while I hunt and my wife gathers an I can see that. Others weave the... more
      - Voluntary cooperation is fantastic. ~ Eleanor, Mon Nov 27 8:43pm
        
        We didn’t evolve by coercing you to pay my bills by force if necessary. You have the right to spend your earnings the way you see fit without interference from others. Just my opinion, of course.
      - But without at least some degree of societal pressure... ~ Poppet, Mon Nov 27 10:20pm
        
        ...there will always be those that simply refuse to cooperate (while at the same time invariably availing themselves of the benefits of cooperative society). Those types run the gamut from welfare... more
        Yes. They are known as "liberals" or "progressives". (nm) ~ Curmudgeon , Tue Nov 28 8:44am
        
        Societal pressure should not include suppressing rights. ~ Eleanor, Mon Nov 27 11:39pm
        
        The benefit of cooperative society should be limited to protecting our inalienable rights. Just my opinion, of course.
        We definitely disagree in this area. ~ Poppet, Tue Nov 28 9:45am
        
        I understand the ethical philosophy behind enshrining the primacy of the individual. I simply don't agree with it. Nor, I would assert, does our evolution... A functional society must balance the... more
        Poppet has expressed my position EXACTLY! Thanks. (nm) ~ DFM, Tue Nov 28 11:21am
      - Some of us are cooperative. ~ PH👏🏾👏🏾EY, Mon Nov 27 12:22pm
        
        Others think they are "self-made."
    - What is fair ~ PH👹👹EY, Sun Nov 26 11:57pm
      
      Is that we all come down with TB and plague and leprosy because a huge portion of the population are unable to see a doctor due to no job, no welfare, no medicine because the rich continue to suck... more
