[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 244603, member: 198"] Here is an alternative to socialized health care...how about [b]INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY?!?![/b] A local radio talk show was on this topic yesterday and a guy that works in the insurance industry called in and said he had too many cases where potential customers said they "couldn't afford" a $150/month plan. When asked why not their responses varied but were equally pathetic. One guy had 5 vehicle payments. Another was paying for his two kids to have karate lessons. Another guy was living in a $300k house and was also payin for a BMW and his house was loaded with all the latest state of the art gadgets. And on the other end of the spectrum....a bunch of would be customers that came from a lower tax bracket had some equally disturbing responses. One was working a 25-30 hour/week job even though he had a wife and kid. Another couldn't afford the insurance because his unemployment checks weren't enough. Another guy didn't want to have to get a second job so he could afford the payments. So, I don't think that I'm comming from way out in left field by saying that these guys mentioned above have their priorities a little mixed up. What's more imporant? Having a bunch of cars and gadgets or providing for one's health care needs? Or is being lazy a good excuse to not work more so that you can afford health insurance? There is no health care crisis in America. There is a priority crisis. [/QUOTE]
