Nobody will come and FORCE you to pay for anyone else's medical bill.
It's taxes.... you have taxes right?
EVERYONE pays and EVERYONE benefits.
Thanks for the chat.

Seriously, if you disagree with something this government and their shakedown tugs (IRS agents), and you try to resist them, they will come and arrest you and if you refuse they can bust into your home, steal everything, and then kill you dead dead dead .. and they have done just that to others .. on numerous occasions when people have tried to resist and wanted to just be left alone.
Not equally. And, what if it is against ones moral beliefs to participate in socialism, can they opt out without penalty? I don't want to be a socialist, I don't want to be immoral, I don't want to benefit from involuntary servitude. Leave me out of all that, that's all I ask, okay?

Again, my issue with socialism is that unless it is voluntary, it is immoral.
Please, do NOT force me to subscribe to your ideals, or into laboring for your ideals.
Hey, you all go make me a malted milk shake right now ..

So the OP refuses to do anything about his financial situation, then comes here to complain and most of the people take his side and complain about the system????? People like him are exactly why most of the people do not want to foot the bill for others.

There is just no way anyone can pay that no more than they can fly to the Moon.

I do not know the OP or his circumstances. In an economy like we are having now, being unemployed is a lot more likely than 10 years a go.
And another point is sheer magnitude of the bill for what, it seems, are a handful of run-of-the-mill procedures. It's called something like gauging. Right?
