Temo: Re:based on ONE example. And a tear jerker at that!
Artful Dodger: One case..
"Nearly two-thirds of personal bankruptcies in the US are directly caused by medical bills."
More than one, unless you cannot count.
"I know many people that didn't have to pay a dime because they didn't have the money. But they still got the treatment."
Millions of people here in the UK get that.. Unless, they have a private insurance scheme. Then they have to declare that to the NHS GP so they can bill them.
"YOu are REQUIRED to purchase your own insurance. If you can't afford it, you will go on the Govt plan. People will be required to buy insurance - that's the problem."
So the drain on federal income goes down. Here in the UK anyone earning over £50k is being told they will get less child benefit, over £60K they will lose it totally. It'll save around £700 million a year.
"Jesus never said that the government should take care of people. And not everyone believes in Jesus anyway. Besides, there's this little inconvenient thing called separation of church and state."
OK..... Now, honestly.. Can you see an atheist Republican candidate who is pro gay marriage and pro choice getting nominated? Which publication is used as a justification for being against gay marriage and abortion.... even though people using said publication are often for the use of the likes of Cluster Bombs.
BE REAL... there is no real separation. It is a BIG lie.
