House Passes Healthcare Bill

[Typhoid]

Lowering everyone to the same level does not improve society. Lifting those in need does.

I assume that's what the excess tax would go towards, as it does in Canada.
The money has to come from somewhere.
Of course not everyone will be happy with the way it's going if they have to pay a little more, because everyone is thinking "Hey, that's my money" and not "This will help a poor family get health care if they need it."
But the fact remains that health care and access to a doctor if needed without putting your family in financial ruin to save your child/your own life is what everyone deserves. The change had to be made at some point. Better now, than later when more people put themselves into poverty because of injury or general health concerns.


100% off topic:
I'm just going to put this here, it doesn't deserve a thread because I don't know if it's true or not, but if anyone knows, I'd love an answer. It's from a post from another forum a guy in California made:

Some fire departments in the states are now charging people to put out their fires.

They run to the site, put out the fire and then hand the owners the bill. Thousands of dollars.

Ahhh, capitalism at its finest.

If that's the case: God Bless America.
