The cold hard reality is not everyone deserves healthcare nor should they receive it. If you can't pay for your health and work to pay for it then too bad, Darwin at work making sure those strong enough to get the money make it. Humans aren't equal and therefore won't have equal circumstances, so we should stop thinking that they deserve equal opportunities for health. You don't deserve the healthcare if you can't pay for it, simple as that.
Edit- Someone said it's a human right. No, it isn't. But that's life.

Edited by Y SO REACH BETA: 3/2/2014 11:30:59 PMHave you considered the economic consequences of letting people get sick and die? Vaccines for example, are largely paid for by governments throughout the world and through healthcare funding. I can't even imagine the pandemics that would have happened without vaccines. Cancer? Dead. Lost a worker, family loses their home and succumbs to socioeconomic circumstances and fails to get a secondary education. That's just one scenario which results in lost revenue. The world would be a much worse place if we let people die of disease. It's simply more efficient to treat people, rather than have someone who was healthy up until they were able to work, die of a disease. You're incredibly naive, OP. You haven't considered anything other than the fact healthcare costs money, well, so does dying and being crippled. You not only sound like a sociopath but you sound like a retard.
