mbcsmith,

Yes, even George Soros will have to pay in his fair share and will have to pay deductibles, co-pays, and premiums for the basic package. If he wants extra bells and whistles he can use his largesse to purchase private supplemental insurance, they'll still be a private market for that.

Every american SHOULD have available single-payer supplied health care, including George Soros. He'll pay his taxes, and be entitled to it. And someday it will happen.

Every neocon ******** should ask his employer how much it costs per person for health insurance, and add how much is co-payed, etc. I'll bet the number would stun you. Single-payer health insurance will probably take less when added to taxes. LESS.

By the way, call it 'socialized medicine', i don't care. So many of those labels have been corrupted and redefined, it doesn't matter.

Also, mbcsmith, you gotta learn to read. You should apologize to everybody.

What is your justification/support for that claim?

Here is just one example of mbcsmith and his neocron ways.
He would probably deny his own mom health care.
RandalDS was right about smith.
"don't understand the spirit of the Constitution or the Bible."
All he cares about is money and himself.
And his rebuttel will prove beyond a dought, his true self. Sad.

Bushit won't dare veto this one. He'll whine and squirm.

It is time some of all that money that is going to Iraq, STOPS, and we start paying attention to this country our health is run by pharmaceuticals and that needs to stop, How many bridges could we fix I'm for anything to improve THIS COUNTRY for a change. China is being supported by the U.S. better than than the U.S. is supporting its own.

The prblem with conservatives is that they don't understand the spirit of the Constitution or the Bible.

So you believe that every American is entitled to free health care, including George Soros?

[realpatriot1]

mbcsmith,

As has been pointed out, Randal's statement doesn't claim a Constitutional right. However, I would argue that without health it would be difficult for anyone to have the right to life,liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The prblem with conservatives is that they don't understand the spirit of the Constitution or the Bible.

Health care IS a basic human right and not a privilege

Nothing there says Constitution.

mbcsmith Please point to the part of RandalDS' post that says it is a Constitutional right. What I see:

Health care IS a basic human right and not a privilege

Nothing there says Constitution.

[mbcsmith]

Decent basic health care is a right in every civilized Western nation, except one, the United States of America. We are the only industrialized nation on earth that does not provide basic health care for all of their citizens on a non-profit basis and as a result more the 45 million Americans, most of whom are working, can not afford health care. That's a disgrace. Health care IS a basic human right and not a privilege reserved for just those that can afford it. We're America! We can do better then this!

Please point to the specific article of the Constitution that makes health care a RIGHT.
