To those who support this health $$ black hole. You and I are walking down the street in any large city, and we see a guy standing there who tells us: "I need eye surgery soon or I will go blind." I take some money from my wallet and give it to him.... do you have a problem with that? OK, how about if, after he says what he does, I then turn around and steal the money YOU have and give it to him. You still OK with that? I didn't think so. Welcome to the world you support.
I will return the please and say this. Obviously by your response you don't know the constitution.

But if you know where, in the constitution, it says that UHC is illegal, it shouldn't be hard for you to cite it.
If you're just regurgitating talking points from Conservative talk radio and TV, then by all means, keep dodging the question.

Okay - keep dodging. If it's unconstitutional, you should be able to cite where the Constitution shows that something like UHC is unconstitutional.
You can't just keep making things up without evidence to back them man, it's very unbecoming.

It's there, it's the " 13th Amendment to the Constitution ". UHC free of charge and without penalty for refusing is one thing, but telling me I have to have it, and have to pay for it, under penalty of law is quite another.

Quintessentially those that don't want the American National Health Service really are people that believe if you can't afford it you die? and in the same breath would give money to Hiati Disaster funds for instance. Here in the UK we have had the NHS(National Health Service) since 1948 we aren't Communists....Communists didn't start the organisation either. How can people who think they are civilized think that standing for not helping those that are less fortunate is a good thing. I find it quite repulsive to think that people would react to helping others in such a Machiavellian manner.
The NHS has served the British well and even in these strapped for cash times it continues to do its best. This institute is one of the few things we are proud of and the benifits outway any cost of which is small spread though out the life of each person living in the UK. Rather than paying a Privately owned health insurer who plays golf and goes on holiday with your money when the people that don't get ill keep paying into his FAT CAT DEEP BOTTOMLESS POCKET. Instead in the NHS usually the money gets used to improve as best it can its service. I know what I prefer, I can sleep at night knowing that my national contributions has helped some parent or child escape the horrors of Cancer or Disease. And when I need this service myself I know its there and no Proviso will be made on what I can pay at the time or if my Insurance covers it.
Sleep Wel........Hope You Can Sleep Well those that opose to help all as equal.
