I heard his speech on this...

His point is valid..

A Right is something not granted by any gov't and cannot be taken away by any man.Therefore Healthcare is not a right.
His use of the "slavery" term could've been better said...

Most Libs and other ill informed people are not sophisticated enough to understand his meaning,,

Not granted by any government? Like what exactly? We in the US believe that the the rights outlined in the Bill of Rights are ours, yet they could and have been taken away, or never given at all, by governments all the time throughout history.

So please explain.

I agree.........just using the word slavery incites those on the left.His argument on its face is valid.I've never figured out where many of these so called rights the left speaks of are supposed to come from.Money for these so called rights has to come from some where.Any "rights" beyond those guarenteed "LIFE,LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS" are not rights at all.These so called rights are dangled as if they were a carrot in front of voters to secure their party faithfulness.IMHO we should return to the Constitution and Bill of Rights and provide no more or no less than authorized by these documents.



AND KICK ALL THOSE FUGGING POLITICIANS OUT OF DC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Um,,,

Rights are endowed by the creator,inalienable and stuff.
Not bestowed by a man/gov't
A right cannot be taken away.A dictaor may impede such right but the right is still there.

But healthcare paid for by your neighbors is NOT a right...

A basic principle on which this nation was founded was that our rights are not bestowed on us by a government; we are endowed with them by the Creator. Our rights are intended to be beyond the reach of the government to curtail or infringe upon.

From the Declaration of Independence:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? That's all? And define happiness.

According to the Consitution, we also have the right of Habeas Corpus, the right to elect representatives, the Bill of Rights gave us the first 10 amendments and influenced most of the rest. All of these are given by the government, and can be taken away, and in the case of Habeas Corpus have been.

I know it's kinda neat to say the 'creator' gave those rights to us, but if he's 'forever' it sure took a long time to get those damn 'rights' now didn't it?

ok,


Here's the dirty litle secret...

Since we produce little as a national economy we rely on every person spending every cent they have.So,if a family of four makimg a combined income of $45k had to spend $6k ayear on health care.Then they could'nt run up credit card debt at Best Buy for the 52 inch big screen while other's subsidized their health care.Hence,hurting the economy.So,I'm expected to supplement .

It's destined to fail...

That would help......

Catastrophic insurance and direct payment to physicians would be great.

Too many over utilize and too many are taken advantage of by insurance. Eliminate the middle man.

Or at least have the patient pay then submit claim to insurance the way it was meant to be.

Not really in that it was, as described by Kant as the final end of ignorance, or something like that, I forget, been a long time since I took a philosophy class or read Kant. How can anything like that be 'final'? He was discussing the end of the dark ages, when man stopped being ignorant because of the influence of religion and began thinking outside of absolute moral terms, in other words, f the church.

So in this case, no, I don't get it. Explain. And please explain, since you are a devout Catholic, using Jesus healing the poor and destitute, as an example.

YES! Eliminate the middle man!

You are correct!

Medicare (like program) for ALL! I'm so happy you see it my way. We all pay into one huge pot, making the pot and buying power HUGE. No profit is required making more than 30% off the top free for actual care. The size of the group makes the buying power and negotiation on prices power super huge, and medical care providers won't have to fight like mad to get paid from insurance companies!

Z, we are on the same wavelength for the first time ever!

Govt F's just about everything up and this much money in there hands is no bueno.

Leave the money with the people. If any govt. involvement I say tax deferred HSA's to make it even cheaper for the people. When folks have to see the cost they will actually be concerned about cost. When Dr's don't have to hasle with insurance companies prices will drop.

I know freedom is scary.

Why would you think your beliefs are beyond being ridiculed or insult but mine are fair game and because I have those beliefs my personal life is fair game? I haven't seen you post once about how offended you were about someone insulting a liberal's belief system or someone calling it foolish or hell even calling the person who held those beliefs all sorts of other insulting names.

You wouldn't be a hypocrite now would you?

Naw, couldn't be! Couldn't be at all.

With all due respect Fuzz, that is the dumbest thing I gave ever heard!!!!

So, you want to unionize the citizens to bargain for health care???

You know what you get when you take the profit out of an industry? People that don't care because they are getting payed anyhow, so why strive to do better?

Do you want that in a health care provider?

Seriously we have medicaid prior-auth in writing then refuse reimbursement. And medicaid people ant be held liable for ANY $. Lots of medical businesses are refusing assignment from both for a reason.

Medicare which covers 1/3 of American citizens has totally destroyed the health care industry. It's such a tragedy. Did you know that if you live in a country like Sweden or Switzerland or hell any other country in Europe you life expectancy is like 43? NO? It's actually higher that here in the US? And they have universal healthcare? That just does not compute! Infant mortality? We must have the highest and best rate on that! Well sh$t. We suck.

Seriously people. Numbers don't lie.

If you deal with medicare and medicaid, you must deal with insurance companies. Don't know what you do, but that must be the case, right? You are saying that insurance companies pay better and more promptly? Less problems, all that stuff?

you nailed is ZRX, think of the last time you even heard of anyone asking how much something costs at the Drs office? I asked about the cost of a sinus shot and the nurse gave me a crazy look and said "what does it matter, you arent paying for it!?!?!"

We dont pay the cost direct so we let them bill whatever. Think of how many people get the $5k for the car repair after a wreck then shop around to find the cheapest repair price or a shop that will waive their deductible. We do that so we can save money/make some money. We should care about the cost of healthcare in the same way.

Numbers don't lie.
But statistics do.

http://www.nationalcenter.org/NPA547ComparativeHealth.html

In brief: infant mortality and life expectancy are terrible measures of how effective health care (private or publically funded) is.

One example (the link provides more):
Japanese Americans have a similar life expectancy as native Japanese.

Please don't use false logic to make your point, and then contend that numbers don't lie. You either fell for the liberal blather regarding life expectancy and infant mortality, or you outright lied.
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and believe the former.

Once again, Fuzz uses phony stats to try and make a "point."

Ever been to Sweden, Fuzz? The first thing you might notice is that their ethnic makeup is - ahem - homogenous. They don't have a lot of black people (whose life expectencies are lower than that of the blonde, nordic types). They don't have a lot of illegal aliens coming up from Central America with incurable cases of TB. In fact, compared to the US, they don't get even a fraction of the stuff that drops life expectency stats here in the US.

In Sweden, if they have one or two black people living within a one mile radius, that's the "ethnic" part of town.

But try and get cancer treatment in Sweden. Then we'll talk about what a wonderful healthcare system they have.

As for infant mortality: we're one of the few nations that count pre-term (premie) births into their infant mortality rates.

Oh yeah, and unlike Cuba, if there's a chance that the birth may be risky, we don't pressure the mother into getting an abortion...like they do in other countries.

Personally Fuzz, I think the best form of divine retribution is for you to get exactly what you want as far as what you claim to believe. I'd love to see you whine and cry like a little girl because some government buraucrat denied your cancer treatments.

I'd also take a certain amount of satisfaction knowing that some bureaucrat delayed your cancer surgeries and treatments. And you'd have to put up with knowing that you've got a killer growing in your body, and there it NOTHING you can do about it except cry and whine (which you seem to be very good at, I might add).

Then we'll see just how bad our current system of health care "sucks" when you get what they have in Sweden.

First, you idiotic doorknob, YOU STILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO HABEAS CORPUS. You are an outright LIAR to say we don't have that right.

That's right: a liar.

Right now, across the country, many Habeas Corpus petitions are being filed within the borders of the United States.

So again: you are a liar. You knowingly repeat something that is an outright lie.

Second, all of your rights are inalienable, meaning that you have them by virtue of your existence. They are given to you by a Creator. The wording in the Declaration of Independance is pretty frickin' clear on this subject. Maybe you should read it sometime?

You don't need anyone else to express your opinion, pursue happiness, or live your life. Period. That's what basically defines a right: something you have by virtue of your existence on this planet.

Health care, on the other hand, has to be provided to you by someone else. To claim that service is a right means that someone MUST provide that service whether they want to or not. That is, in essence, forced servitude.

No one is stopping you from stitching up your own arm, setting your own bones, or even cutting out tumors from your body. If someone else has to do it, however, they have the right to be compensated for their time and labors. Because they have a right to be compensated for their work (I know, that whole "work" thing is alien to you).

Then again, it is no surprise that you believe this nonsense, seeing that you're a lazy, two-bit loser who thinks that life should be handed to him on a silver platter. For the sake of everyone here, Fuzz, please grow up and become an adult. Your childish thinking and manner is a danger to everyone who holds their freedom sacred.
