[QUOTE="John6185, post: 3063592, member: 25679"] I doubt that many have ever been refused needed healthcare due since 1986 so why did we need Obamacare other than redistribution of wealth? I am hard on this subject, let me give you a "word picture." I was raised very poor and am still smarting from it-I'm talking about living in a shack built from Tinker AFB scrap lumber that cost a $1.00 per pickup load. i hard-worked my way out of that situation and today I'm retired. The way I look at it, if a guy works from one paycheck to the next and fritters it on beer, whisky and all the other vices-and never saves for old age, why is this deadbeat entitled to free medical care? I worked all my life to have medical care and paid my "fare share" of taxes. Is this deadbeat that has never saved a dime entitled to healthcare if he hasn't invested in the "system" and I and many others have worked our tails off to get by? The entitlement syndrome is supposed to be a helping hand and not a generational giveaway program. It should be temporary and not permanent as some think. Today, there are a vast number of educational programs in public schools and even some businesses that allow people to become high paid blue collar workers-something that was never dreamed of in my early days. So don't complain if you can't get ahead in life, we have Vo-Tech for those unemployed and it's free for some eligible people. I wouldn't dare suggest we take SS away from those disabled or elderly/infirmed but those who are able to work and refuses, it is a different matter-they deserve nothing because they won't and don't contribute so why ar ewe supporting them?
