private insurance is available in different levels and at different costs based on income, health factors, etc. that's the beauty. you want it? go fucking get it... don't come to me.
he busted his ass and worked obsense hours, but no healthcare. he didn't cry about it. he broke his foot.... he still didnt' cry. he now has healthcare through my family plan at work, but at no time did he go on public assistance to cover a visit to the doctor.
do i think our govt should provide some type of assistance for the sick and needy? youre damn right i do. do i think i should relinquish ANOTHER 28% to pay for it. FUCK NO.

But you have no problem picking up a $200 billion tab (and counting) on a bullshit war that has no end even planned, let alone in sight? By the way, some of those tax dollars you so dearly cherish go to veterans assistance programs, but Bush is trying to fuck them out of that, too. I'm more than happy to pay my share of taxes, and I'd sure as hell rather the money go to poor people, lazy or not, than getting our troops sent to a meat grinder.
