Today, I re-dislocated my arm trying to get it out of the cast it was in because I didn't want to pay the $50 dollar fee to get it taken off. FML

Of course in the UK all your treatment would have been free...because we're in the 21st century and have a healthcare system. In fact I'm getting treatment on thursday at no cost and I've only waited 2 weeks from booking it to getting it - regardless of the rubbish your right wing media has been spreading about the NHS. Oh, and I have health insurance too :p

Oh yeah. A plan that FORCES you to get and pay for health insurance whether you want it/can afford it or not. That doesn't go against free will at all. Yay! A plan that makes private insurance illegal! Yay! A plan for healthcare that will be just as effective as the USPS (Obama's comparison BTW) and DMV! Awesome! More taxes on an already overtaxed country, while we're in a recession! Of course we should punish the people being prosperous and productive and successful! Anyone that believes that is pure disgusting. If people didn't have so much TAXES we'd be able to spend our money as we please, therefore stimulating the economy. America is quickly becoming a parent government simply because so many people don't want to grow up and be responsible for THEMSELVES! These people WANT be taken care of like children, rather than adults. Consequences come for every action, and the more you put it off the more you will suffer. Within four years I'm totally doing the "I told you so" dance for every idiot that supports Obama. Ha.

Shut the **** up, bitch. This is FML. Take it to a political forum or something.

It sucks that you have to pay $50 for someone to stick a metal rod in and buzz saw it off. I do enjoy my universal healthcare. That's just my opinion. I don't need facts or a debate, it's what I like. End of discussion.

Its a shame so many americans are afraid of free universal care. Its the powerful, rich, businessmen and politicians who are making money out of making you pay for insurance, then making you pay for treatment or infact, denying you treatment. These are the same people who are generating fear and rumours that universal healthcare is "Socialist/Communist" when all industrialised countries have universal care other than the USA. Also that Universal care will be more expensive and not as good as your care. Fundimentally, the care they would have to provide would need to be just as good as the care before, if not better inorder to make the change a success. In the USA the most money is put into the system and the least money is returned to the public than in any other country. You can call in the morning and see a doctor in the afternoon. I feel that the goverment is MEANT to look after me. I am a student and also only 19 so i get free dental, free optomity and any free perscriptions, also all forms of contriception are free. Also if i wanted surgery such as a breast reduction because of back pain i could recieve it Universal care is not perfect but its damn amazing for saying you dont have to pay on the spot. even if you do pay in tax. Youll be looked after if you get ill and lose your job, when youre old, and if you become poor. Before being scared of care watch sicko the michael moore documentary, remember it is satire as well. but really obama is not trying to **** you over. how could you not want this gift?

"I feel that the goverment is MEANT to look after me.:" @#165 It's people like you that are destroying the world. Grow up and be an adult.
