mindmeld, there are some people that get the short straw in life. Often that short straw starts at the time of birth. A child born with a defect(s) with a needed lifetime of medical expenses. Sometimes a 10 year old child (or anyone at any age) gets hit by a bus and also then faces debilitating cost for the rest of their life. Sometimes people in old age get dementia or any of the other diseases that will take years to bring them down - but will have a huge cost to maintain that will cost far more than their net worth. Behind every person that you think sucks the money out of the health care system there is a personal story - often incredibly sad. Now unless you want to kill the children and the old and those who get stuck with the short straw WE ALL HAVE TO CHIP IN FOR THEIR HEALTH CARE COST! Ya, that sucks. Too bad that you have to pay in more than you get back, but until someone else figures out a way to do this that is just a fact. ............To blame this on Obama is nothing short of sick IMHO. He tried! He did something. To think he is responsible for the increasing cost is just wrong. It is unfair. Ugly unfair. ............Just maybe your grandchild gets born with a defect or your grandmother gets dementia or your child gets hit by a bus. We don't know when it happens to us or a loved one. <<<< Democracy is supposed to be about maximizing the benefits for the MAJORITY>>> Bull shit! Not for health care unless you want to start killing people that cost too much. For health care we have to provide for all of those - even for those you don't want to support.
