Who do YOU think should get free government paid health insurance for their children? What financial bracket? Legal status? Etc... When is someone deserving of a free ride? What qualifications would you put on it if YOU got to decide?
--------------------
I think it is fair to provide healtcare for those that CANNOT work. I am not talking about those who don't want to work. For those that can work, we should have a scale. You can't just set an income scale or bracket. In my state (2 bedroom apartment rents for $1550) you can't live on $60K a year with a family that has 2 children. In some others you can. So here is the fair plan. - We set a local income scale based on average living expenses in a local. Probably by county. -The Fed subsidizes it by a percentage up to the cap for what is consider poor based on the scale. -Everyone buys commercial insurance if they want it and get a tax break for doing so. Those the are under the cap, get a subsidy. -The government negotiates for best prices with the big providers, and there is a discount that is good for all. (Like Massachusetts) This way, for those that can self-insure, are Christian Science or friends of Ron Hubbard, they are not forced ot have it. If you need it and want it, it is affordable. And if you priorities are a new HD TV and car that you can't afford, and not insurance, don't get sick.
