The Healthcare Thread

[MusicMaster]

I thought since we have someone who wants to turn every thread into a healthcare discussion, that he should have his very own thread. Maybe he can get himself into the habit of jumping into this thread to post all his thoughts about healthcare instead of hijacking threads about other subjects.

How did the trucker thread become a healthcare thread? Only on AFF.

I don't know if the idea will work, but I had to give it my best shot.

Here you go Christopher Hall. Your own healthcare thread.

Sorry guys. The trucker's thread on fuel prices went nuts when we discussed the civic duty of these larger companies. The response was from one individual indicating that the only civic duty of these companies is to make him money via his investments. I then brought health care into the picture, not to discuss health care specifically, but to demonstrate that people die when we neglect our civic duties toward one another's well being. I have insurance. I could easily walk away thankful for mine and look to these massive companies to just bring me profit, profit, profit. But I feel that's too materialistic and clashes with the Christianity I know. Instead I feel the wealthier a body is...the greater their moral responsibility to perform their civic duty to develop the greater good of all society. The health care debate is merely an example of a neglected duty...a neglect that allows nearly 18,000 uninsured Americans to die from otherwise treatable conditions every year. Moral principles are interconnected. The moral principle of righteous civic duty regarding taxation is interrelated to all it would effect. I struggle with compartmentalizing the ethics.

The lack of healthcare is no laughing matter to many Americans. For instance, for the first time in my adult life, I AM UNINSURED! Now, with my current health situation, I am stuck, because NO ONE will wright me a policy due to a pre-existing condition.

Oh, BTW, I don't qualify for assistance, because I made too much money last year, have a savings account and because NO ONE has helped me financially during the last 30 days. That was one of the questions for consideration...someone had to help me financially (like a family member or friend). By having to pay cash for everything from doctor visits to meds, my savings will be gone in no time!

That is rubbish considering that I have put far more money into the system than the joker at the grocery store the other day who was trying to buy a 40 with his Lone Star Card! How much has he put in the system being 20 something years old?

The current system is BROKE!
