'WELCOME TO SOCIALISM' Ivy League students erupt over $350 health care fee

#55

Quote:In theory I would like to see a system where children under the age of 18 (I don't even care if there non-citizens) are provided healthcare 100% for anything.(notice the period). A kid gets cancer I'd prefer a system where we say ok, Doctor do what you have to the bill is covered.(notice the period). Now that would require government, it would require a socialized form of distribution, it would require taxes to fund it, and hold onto your hats I'd be ok with it. My problem starts when we expect to build a system where working adults (or not working adults) can require their neighbors to fund their healthcare through government. Or worse when government starts deciding what healthcare or preventive measures private individuals need or qualify for. It just opens the door to all kinds of abuse, but when it comes to children that have no control over their own circumstances, I don't care, treat the kids and we as a society should at least be able to figure out how to make that right.
 

See, to me this doesn't make much sense.

 

So if you get cancer, we take care of you until your 18th birthday.  Once you get past that point though?  You're on your own.  

I was wrong about Trent Baalke.
