Should non productive american citizens be forced to die so we do not have to take care of them?

Was there a health care insurance system when Jesus healed?

Should profits and shareholder dividends have precident over life?

Did Jesus teach financial profits were more important than healing?

scripture says everyone should care for their own relatives

anyone that refuses to care for their own is worse than an infidel

I think two different types of people keep getting confused for being the same thing:  the disabled (through sickness or whatever) and the lazy.  I'm more inclined to help the former ... but ...

...

a part of me asks if the lazy ones have been properly assessed to determine the issues involved.  Have they tried and tried and others simply have no use for them?  Have they been raised to believe that they don't have to lift a finger (by society or their parents, since the US likes to worship those who sit out on the golf course all day long and act like they're running a company)?  Are they actually having some sort of physical reason that has gone undiagnosed (God forbid we actually seek to find the real problem!)?

Show me where these uninsured are left to die... Where exactly do they go?

 

We do take care of them.  What do you think an $80,000 ankle resetting, or a $500,000 ER bill, or a $1,000 tetanus shot is all about? 

These high bills for those willing to pay are inflated to try and recoup write-offs of bills not paid.  If a broke, uninsured person goes to the ER with a cough (as they are known to do), and if they get the bad news that it's lung cancer, treatment is going to start.  They are not going to be sent home to die.

The insurance companies grudgingly pay these inflated fees and not so grudgingly raise premiums.  So those with insurance are paying for those who do not have insurance. 

google indigent care.  It's everywhere.

 

We therefore have national healthcare.  What you want is national health coverage, which is just you wanting someone else to pay your insurance for you so you can buy a jet ski.  Sorry.

So you a christian believe someone with MS, or downs syndrome or any other form of permanent disabillity, (esp. the one's where they are wheel chair bound their entire lives)....are a burden on those of us who are able to pay.

I take it then these people should just die, they are such a burden on the poor christians. And all those hundreds of thousands of people who are care givers are all the sudden out of a job, well too bad, they are just gonna have to starve and die themselves because most american jobs are going to other countries.

I don't care too much for jet ski's, but it sounds like christians are pissed off because they can't buy one, a small fraction of their finances goes towards giving a quality of life to others.

I wonder if Christians in other parts of the world hate their national health care just as much as american christians do?

I am soooooo glad I'm not a hateful christian anymore.

Up until Obama Care if someone got diagnosed with lung cancer, a lot of times their insurance coverage was pulled.
