I was watching the news last night and saw a large protest of people complaining about the budget and how since there was no budget the medical providers had not been paid in a long time. What I am forced to wonder where in the constitution of either California or the US are there any guarantees for healthcare? The guarantees are there for it to be accessible but the cost is not on the government it is on the patient. I have been told by my family that I am cold and heartless with the thought I am about to share but I am a firm believer in Darwinism. If some one cannot afford the health care they need through insurance or personal funding where does it say that I need to pay for it? Let them live as long as they can and then bury them. I am as compassionate as I can be but I am sick to death of the whining people saying "If I dont get my dalysis I willdie so the state needs to pay for it". Fine you are on the public dole. If you die we no longer need to support you and we no longer need to listen to your whining. The unfortunate part of this scenario is that she will have bred her whiny ass genes into the gene pool already. Remember the "Forever War"? William's mother reached a certain age and was no longer allowed medical treatment. I wonder how long it would take to get out of the social security bind that we keep hearing about if we did that? If we let the people who can afford it get health care and the people who cannot afford it die then we will be breeding a people that think that success is a good thing. It works with traits you want to brred into a line of flowers, dogs, horses and even bacteria so why not do it to ourselves?
Probably an unpopular Ottar today

Respectful reply ensues.
Because for 40 years the government has been giving money to pharmaceutical companies while allowing them to price fix and price gouge people like you and me. Because the insurance industry in this country is a criminal enterprise that denies agreed upon coverage and makes the appeals process lengthy enough that you will die about the time you win. Because you should not have to sell your home just because you got sick. Because we can't afford that attitude when all but the richest of us are one serious illness from financial ruin. Because I can remember when it was not this way.
Sorry, but I agree with "anonymous." Having worked in health care for many years I have seen too many deserving people go without healthcare. They pay taxes like the rest of us, work hard, raise a family but due to the cost of insurance and medication they are unable to get needed treatment. It was hard to see.
The government never ceases to amaze me. They will pay for Viagra but not heart medication. What good is an erection if your heart fails?
My dad worked hard his whole life and had a great retirement package. But due to my mom not being old enough for Medicare at the time she had a heart attack, a good chunk of the retirement money went to her medical expenses. Now dad is stretching his medication to every other day because he can't afford the meds. I just found this out yesterday. This is his thanks for being a good hard working man all his life. He is also a veteran and is getting no where through the VA either. Not much of a thank you for serving our country.
What I don't agree with is giving everything to those that don't try to do for themselves. Those that live on welfare out of sheer laziness. Those that are baby making machines for the extra monthly income and food stamps. Those that come to our country illegally and think we owe them something. That is when I say hold back the free ride.
You say “Let them die?” That is very cold hearted indeed.
