Health care?

[trash diver]

What is so wrong about a national health care system? In other nations,health care is considered a right of citizenship.In this country it is a privilege.Those who cannot afford insurance,or cannot pay in cash,can only expect mediocre and indifferent treatment.Any one doubting this should pay a visit to one of our nations fine veterans hospitals.A goverment which treats its soldiers,sailors,and airmen in this way is not worth protecting.

It should be free for every one. The concept of a sick or injured human being not getting proper care because of a lack of money is barbaric.

You are correct.And i suppose that some care is better than nothing,but i guess my real question is what happened to the Hippocratic oath? There are many health care professionals who genuinely embrace this responsibility. But then you have the ones who heip only those who they choose.You would not find these people in a free clinic,or helping impoverished people during war or after a natural disaster,not by choice anyway.The greatest test of strength is to refrain from using it.and the greatest abuse of knowledge is not using it to help those who need it most.I hope no one thinks i am trying to be '' holier than thou'',but these beliefs have been said many times by many people throughout history.

oaths are taken daily 100 people say until death do us part half of them reneg on this oath. yes free clinics we have them they apply ice and prescribe aspirin thats about it.

its a bit sickening that it came to that for that guy, but he certainly was a smart one. makes you wonder what kind of a person can turn down someone who is clearly in pain. twisted world we live in, thats for sure.
