ORIGINAL: Marini Bama, we could go round and round, on this as usual. Sliding scale, means people would pay for insurance, based on income. You can be healthy at 25, and not healthy at 75. You could be healthy all of your life, and have family members who are sick all their lives. I think it all comes out in the wash. I would rather see my tax money spent on free/or affordable health care, than the way it is almost always spent/squandered now. In fact, outside of the military, I can't think of a better use of federal and state tax money. The government can always bail out corporations, banks, everyone in other countries, yet can't subsidize health care for its own citizens? THAT makes no sense! As usual you think something that is obvious is deep. And no, it doesn't break even. The people who accomplish more pay more, period. I am not sure where I said, this was "deep". I am giving my opinion, not talking points. I remember a period of not having health insurance about 25 years ago, and not qualifying for much of anything. It was a horrible state to be in. If this country can't provide or offer some sort of health insurance for ALL of its citizens, why in the world are we assisting everyone else in the damn world, and bailing out corporations? Having a conversation, does not mean you have to agree. I am form some form of universal health insurance in America, you are not. It is really that simple, and that deep.
