How do you feel about receiving a service and paying nothing for it?

Health Care should be one of the main reasons you pay taxes and provided for free. I wouldnt be paying for their middle men business associates to take so much money that you'd be devastated all the time, or pay for black op projects or for useless government salaries or their wars.
A civilized advanced country looks after its own and taxes should be proportional to income, primarily wealthy people, loopholes for corporations closed so they pay as well, bascially you shouldnt pay anything until you're middle classed, and....boomerang back into your community in services.
Health care should be FREE. And the banking system, corporate slave system is hijacking liberty and sovereignity and is HIGHWAY ROBBERY OF CITIZENS.

Norway (where I live) is a prime example of socialized government (for good and bad). In addition to free healthcare (financed through taxes), we also get one year paid (80% of salary, or 8 month full salary) leave from work to be home with the newborn baby. 6 weeks are reserved for the father. If he doesn't take the leave, the 6 weeks are cancelled. That insures that almost every father i Norway spends at least 6 weeks at home caring for the newborn.
If your child doesn't attend kindergarten you get 500 us dollars each month until the child is three years old. That is in addition to 161 dollars that every mother gets for each child every month until the child turns 18.
If you are a single parent you get an extra 110 dollars per child.
Perhaps this is why the birthrate in Norway is still close to normal?
This is not an attempt to "show off" how great Norway is. It's just an attempt to show that there is more to meet the eye when it comes to what you term a "socialized government". It's not all bad.

posts like this sicken me, god help you nothing ever happens to you or your family in your life.
I was diagnosed with brain tumor at 22, not been back to work since, being what you would call a free rider, but dont you think everyday i wake up wishing i never had this disease so i could enjoy life like normal people my age, not having to live with my parents and face scans every few months. a brain tumor and a life on wealthare is not a life style choice. Neither for those suffering MS or any other chronic illness.
Your lack of sympathy is what is wrong in the world. Just remember no ones invincible and at some time in your life you or one of your nearest and dearest may have to free ride at some point.
I am thankfull I live in a society that provides a safety net for it's citizens.

Actually, hospitals can not deny services to anyone, if you are having a baby and are already do, driving to the emergency room will ensure service regardless of insurance or not.
