It wont be free. Taxes will be raised in order to support a “free” health care system. Wouldnt it be more of a universal health care system?

It’s free healthcare to the bums who don’t have/want a job. Coverage will probably suck ass and it will cost taxpayers a shit load.

It would be better than what Ive got now. I cant afford the $80 a week a health care plan thru my work costs so I dont have a plan.  
I havent even been to a doctor in about 10 years.

And not to be an ass but its about prioritizing. Health should come above all else when it comes to fringe spending.

Let me guess: (Not saying this is your case, just the norm)

You have cable: $100/month  
You have a cell phone: $100/month

Those two things alone are $200/month, not including other things you purchase on a daily basis, that you don’t NEED, start to add up.

Pretty soon your close to your $80/week for health care. IMO, people can’t complain about paying $300/month for health care when they are willing to pay $300/month for cable, cell phone and the monthly payment on the 52" big screen…

I understand what your getting at…but everything costs money these days, your basically saying instead of having a life you should have health insurance and not care how much it costs, but to cut back on everything else…this arguement can go both ways.

Luckily Im never sick and would only go to a doctor as a last resort. I dont even take medication for headaches, pain, allergies, etc.

I can’t believe you just said that. Over anything, your health is the most important thing to you and making sure you have health insurance shouldn’t be an option but a priority.

But you can afford having a hot wheels collection, a hobby car, and a monthly truck payment. Your priorities are definitely in check.
