I will walk you through this.

Stroke patient comes into the hospital. Everything is ordered stat... huge bucks. They are triaged, evaluated, treated then transferred to the ICU. More big bucks. So far, no one has asked a question. Then finance shows up. Of course they want their money. This patient has no insurance. Blue collar worker. No assets. Immediate financial assistance... guess who from?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL What fucking blue collar worker are YOU TALKING ABOUT BABYCAKES!!! If you are talking about a cop, corrections officer, fireman, sanitation worker, toll booth collector, postal employee.....those blue collar workers have better insurance than most of the private sector!!!!

No....darling....let's change it. Newly barred attorney comes in. There are no jobs and so he/she hangs out a shingle but he/she makes dick so they gamble with no health insurance. Let's change it again; newly minted CPA, Chiropractor, architect, etc. sets up a shingle but the economy is fucked due to unfunded pension liability and a thousand other reasons and they buy what they need first; telephone service, paper, computer, gasoline and THEY are the ones without the insurance, sweet stuff. Your teacher, cop, fireman, corrections officer, etc. are all getting along juuuuuuuuuuuuust fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.

And we always get back to the same point that if you didn't have a huge number of illegal aliens getting free emergency room care and contributing not one dime to the kitty that we wouldn't be in this fix or at least not as deep into it as we are.

I agree that illegals should not be here. But they do contribute to the kitty, if nothing else than by sales and excise taxes. However, until the government takes care of that situation, its how it is. They will be seen. Those insured will pay the bills.

You mean only those people are considered blue collar workers?

Damn, and I thought it meant someone who is a member of the working class who performs manual labor and earns an hourly wage!

Please, locked, get the definition straight.

Sorry, the same arguments apply. Here is the chart I looked at. Any way you slice it, a country of this size looks pretty damn good:

http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/hea_mat_mor-health-maternal-mortality

Out of 135 countries with the best being #135 with the lowest maternal mortality rate, the U.S. is ranked 116. And of the countries following #116, we have a MUCH larger population with greater diversity.

I compared: (and maybe you do the same:) the website you quoted gives a rate of 8 maternal deaths per 100.000 births for the USA, the WHO gives a rate of 24 for the US ...

so who got the right figures: the World Health Organisation or "nationmaster" ...?

I am not concerned about who got the figures right or wrong, my dear. I will stipulate that the U.S. is probably going to have a higher maternal death rate than a number of smaller countries that also happen to be wealthy. But what you are not taking into account is the diversity of the population in the U.S. You are not taking into account our largely open borders, our drug problems, crime and much more. It is unreasonable to believe that the U.S. is going to have a maternal death rate lower than...say.... Switzerland's.

ROFL

McDonalds... you are joking, right? $2000 cap. That will pay for the ER bed and thats it! The rest arent much better, which is why they are cheap and offered to those workers.

That illegal that is seen in the ER is a bill waiting for the insured to pay.

Simple questions for you...

1) Should non-citizens be allowed to vote?

2) Should non-citizens be given IDs (appearing as citizens) that wold allow them to vote?

1) Nope
2) Nope

Then you're flat out WRONG to think people shouldn't have to have "an ID just to vote", as that's how one PROVES they are both (i) a citizen, and (ii) the person they allege they are. Now, if you merely believe some (based on financial hardship) shouldn't have to PAY for an ID, then I'm fine with that -- but someone would have to be pretty much flat-ass-broke not to be able to fork up $10 or $20 for an ID... which is NOTHING compared to $2,000 to $3,000 one is FORCED to spend under Urkel's crappy healthcare bill.

Additionally, an ID affords one certain rights and freedoms (rights to benefits/freedoms of being an American citizen), where Urkel's stupid mandate doesn't... it takes away freedoms -- namely, the freedom to choose if one wants to buy health insurance!!! You can choose if you want to spend the $10/$20 for an ID (and not have a bank account, pay with cash instead of check, etc. and yes, I know people who do this), and THERE IS NO FINE FOR DOING SO. However, one cannot choose under Urkel's shit bill. If you don't pay, YOU ARE FINED!!

Let's see...Cuba 53 to U.S. 24. It is OK, hon, you can deride your country if it makes you feel better. You can worship socialists like Castro and Obama.

One more time.... illegals in states are getting the right, by state law, to have ID cards and drivers licenses.

Explain how either of those cards PROVE I am a US citizen while Jose, who has the same exact card, and is illegal, isnt a US citizen??

And so those people will have to earn more money to buy their health care....like I did. I was the guy that sold china and cookware door to door...no health insurance. Of course, maybe if there was some reform that did not include socialism, they might be able to buy health care coverage. Like the kid that should be able to buy accident insurance for $25.00 per month...but it only covers injuries from motorcycle accidents. Right? What is free...nottertail? Do you get to grab a steak at the supermarket and eat it without paying? Don't you need food to live? Why isn't everyone getting food for free? In most of the U.S., don't you need clothes to protect you from the elements and keep you healthy? Why aren't we all getting free clothing?

A bit of a generalization. The real rebuttal to the "$2,000 cap" argument is that Obamacare doesnt help the companies with those kind of limited benefits, because they are all getting waivers and they will continue to do so or they will end all health care and send them to the exchanges...which of course is the goal of Obamacare. Single payer via the exchanges.

Fine then... if your premise is ID's don't mean shit, then you should be just as outraged that our laws are being broken, and DEMAND that "Jose" (or whomever) provides proof of citizenship prior to obtaining an ID. Keep in mind, of course, that this sort of thing (i.e., giving non-citizens IDs) is not wide-spread... so it's not like its going to affect every State in the Union. As such, I support the requirement to present identification when voting -- as opposed to just ignoring it because "Jose" in Californa might have gotten away with it.

I was the guy that would have met you at the door with a shotgun saying take your goddamn junk offa my porch, you're destroying my country.

Who said free? What sort of strawman are you trying to wiggle in?

Taxed, just like the taxes we pay so big oil and banks can pay their idiots millions upon millions in bonuses, pay to lobby congress, pay to back candidates we dont want, pay to... except they dont call them taxes, they get favorable treatments as codb.
