Quote:Ok I get what he's saying now.

 

Flsprtsgod, I believe in protection of life and property, I believe that is the only legitimate role of government, to protect the life of innocents and the private property of citizens. That said when it comes to children I believe they fall under the umbrella of life that is to be protected. That's why we have laws specifically against child abuse, sexual assault, neglect and so on, denying a child healthcare because of the financial ability of their parents or legal guardians to pay is failing to protect the Innocent life of a dependent. I'm not advocating medical personal not be paid for their services, I'm saying I would support legislation that socialized medicine for children because they're not yet of age to be legally responsible for their own well being. Government on the other hand has no role in providing healthcare for adults, that is their responsibility as independent adults.

 

Also 100% socialized medicine would bankrupt any nation especially one our size with our lack of immigration control. I do however believe we can and should be able to find ways to take care of our children, if it means in that case I pay more taxes, I'd be fine with it. I'd support a system where we said "ok doctor do what you have to for this child, the bill is covered".

 

For the same reasons above I'm passionately anti-abortion.

Power and water are more important to the well being of children, so we should cover their JEA bill too. And having a house, and a car, and clothes, and surely food. Any of those things are just as, if not more important than healthcare on a daily basis. The issue is always the same, once you start paying there's no limit to what the do gooders can find for you to pay for.
