Um, I bought insurance like smart people do so that while it burns, I can hang out with you, drinking beer and roasting marshmallows.

Public safety (firefighters/police) is not the same as healthcare (insurance).

Healthcare is expensive. Health insurance is less expensive. Not having health insurance is a gamble people take. If Failvis loses $1000 gambling at Turning Stone, should I have to pay for it? No, but the liberal Shift tards will throw him a fundraiser, which he’ll use to then rip off Pants Party.

Bottom line is there are means out there to minimize the damage life can cause but people CHOOSE not to heed warnings, get injured in this case, and then cry for help when they cant afford it.

\*\*\* I’m talking about the middle class views on this forum, dont feel let getting into a Medicaid/Medicare debate.
