Police serve a common good. Its something citizens cannot reasonably do a good job of themselves. Same with courts. Your healh affects you, not your neighbor.

No one should need a safety net forcefully stolen from your neighbor

This bill maybe bankrupts irresponsible people.

No one is denied lifesaving care in the United States because of lack of insurance. It doesn't happen, period.

COBRA fixed a good bit of this for responsible folks about 25 years ago, too. It's not insurance if you have the problem before you get insured for it - that's something else.

Perhaps not, but it does invalidate it.

Healthcare absolutely often affects more then just the individual person.

The Republican bill to repeal and replace Obamacare does not allocate nearly enough money to protect people with pre-existing health conditions from potentially higher insurance premiums, an analysis finds.


You, the analyst and the author are fricking retarded and believe in unicorns, the tooth fairy and magic money.

It doesn't invalidate anything. This country did just fine before medicaid and medicare.

Uncompensated care only happens because the government mandates everyone be treated if they show up at an emergency room

Lifesaving EMERGENT care. Plenty of people are denied things like chemotherapy due to lack of insurance, or were before the ACA.

That is about as valid as your ACA-bankruptcy correlation.

According to BamaATL there is no uncompensated care because people that can't pay don't get care.

Trump is bringing 20 million jobs back, right after mexico pays for the wall.

The reason that 30% of millenials are living with parents is there really isnt work for them.

H1b visa goes to india with millions of applicants in the lottery for hundred thousand openings. They know java.
