Health Care, Part II -- No you can't solve it

So we finally get a president who wants to address this issue for a variety of reasons, surely to include.

I.  It is the fastest growing part of the federal budget, ok besides the war machine.  But after GW that would be hard to beat.

II.  The hardship on families.  Heck, nobody wins when bankruptcy claims a family, not the creditors, not the children, not any stable society.  

So instead of addressing this issue, what do the republicans do but stall, claim it is certain death, lie and fear monger.  And not offer a dam bit of help.  It was their proposal from 15 years ago, that was presented.  The President started in the middle, but largely left it up to congress.  I would he was gather certain their would be tugging on both sides, and more than anything he campaigned on the fact that we are not red or blue, but Americans, working for the best with a common good.  Well none of that came from the other side.

We all get sick & sooner or later everybody needs health care, so everybody should be paying something.  Yes American capitalism dictates you should get what you pay for and pay for what you get, who can deny somebody access to doctors when needed.  By law emergency rooms may not.  Nor do Americans think as Yell Liar Wilson says,  ER doctors should check for citizenship before assisting the injured.

I would think conservatives would be happy to see everybody pay in.  As stated in part I, how much do I as a paying customer pay my doctor to cover those who cannot pay.  No matter how one slices it, those with money will pay for health care for those without.  It should gall conservatives that people pay nothing and then get health care.  I guess they think that if they do, so long as bankruptcy takes everything they have, all is well and good.  They get nothing, start over and whatever drops of blood go to the creditor will do.

Nobody ever said this, but I think that conservatives think if you can't afford it you don't get it, and so be it.  I have money, so I can get health care.  You don't have money, so you can't have it.  You can pump my gas, or stock my grocery shelves, but you don't deserve to see a doctor.

It doesn't matter if you do or do not want to pay for other's health care, when you get it you do.  It makes so much more sense to require everybody to have skin and cash in the game.  Nobody ever brought up, that if you pay more you should get better care.  America after all is the land of cash talks, and nobody ever explicitly said that it should or should not be different in health care.  It is that way and it will continue to be that way.
