Thread: Should I Pay for Your Health Care?

There are MANY here in WV that know how to work the system, some being my family. All you gota do is be lazy, drink, do drugs, and boy you can get everything you need, and more, but if you have worked, just forget getting any help. I do not care to help anyone, but only if they are helping them selves, but don't expect me to pay for you health ins. while you lay around all day, and with for the mail man.

Not all of us did or do agree with that and that 'logic' just makes 2 wrongs, not a right...and puts us in an even bigger hole.

I think a lot of us would like to help 'our own' especially the ones who really need and work for it....but this 'plan' is not the only one and many don't agree with this 'plan' being implemented. That's the problem.

What I dont understand is how kids get SSI because they have a disability? I can see if its medically, but when it is bipolar,emotionally impaired, learning disability how does it cost more to raise them then a child with out those problems. When I say medically I am meaning like surgeries,medications to help with a physical problem. I see families that get SSI for all their kids because they have learning disabilities, but do they take them to the doctors, get glasses when they need them so many times I can answer no to that. Then also wheres the daddys why doesnt the gov. make these woman name the father if they cant then they dont need assistance!
I feel for people who try try try and cant get ahead, cant afford insurance, these are the people that need help with it cant our government see that!

My husband's cousin got SSI on both her girls because they were tongue tied, I know that for a fact. One of a cousin of mine get's it on his little girl because she was low birth weight. The child is healthy as can be now, requires no extra doctor's office trips.

Basically personal responsibility seems to be a thing of the past with the Obama administration. It doesn't take a village to raise a person it takes a family taking personal responsibility for their own family.

True..however I would argue the personal responsibility thing went out the window a looong time ago.

I'd like to see that repealed too!

Maybe not qualifying for insurance till after a probationary period. Couldn't afford to keep the cobra any longer. And while this all happens you get diagnosed with cancer. In a free fire state like here in Georgia, you will most likely lose your job. I watched my daughters best friend lose her mother at 15 because she actually chose not to fight anymore for treatment. She felt as though she was worth more dead than alive, and she didn't wan't her husband to lose his carpenty business and file complete bankruptcy. Not everything is accessible for everyone. Most of us do what we have to do. But in this day and age, in this country, we should not have to make that type of a decission. Count yopr blessings.
Please do not take this as a personal attack. It is not meant that way. This is only my opinion.

A really great example however I'm not sure by this post if you are for socialized medacine?
