"Support for Healthcare Plan Falls to All Time Low"

[Typhoid]

I've always found the idea of "Health Insurance" silly. Smart in a beurocratic way - everyone is alive, and frequently people get hurt - so you'd make a lot of money on insurance.


I'll be the first to admit I don't know much about American healthcare, nor healthcare in Canada for that matter.

This much I know, and this much I think should be offered to everyone:

I was out of work because of a car accident, and due to not working full time previously - I don't have a medical plan (due to not being able to afford it, and not having a full-time job, not being covered) - yet I still needed to get X-Rays on my back and legs. Instead of having to repay massive debts, I don't even get a piece of paper to sign. No "The mail will be sent to you." Just right out the door. If you can't afford it, it's provided for you. When you can afford it, you pay for it as you should. However, healthcare is the probably the most basic of needs aside from food and water, and I think that everyone, everywhere should be entitled to it nomatter who they are, where they are, or how much income they have - and whatever the cost to make it happen is. Your body is not a car or a house.

That wasn't directed at everyone, just my thoughts.
