" Yes, God forbid someone out of work dares to seek medical treatment of
some kind. Much better to keep the riff-raff away and let the poor
sons-o-bitches die on the street." --JY.

Jer Responds:

The point, JY has always been: Why is the government trying to "eliminate"
the middle class. I was born in severe poverty (and I will surmise have been
poorer than yourself probably 30 yrs. before you were born), came up the
ranks through hard work and intestinal fortitude. With 12 kids and a mom and
dad (who was disabled from heart disease at age 50) in un-blissful poverty,
I believe I have earned the right to say that riff-raff was something I
never was or became in life.

There are charitable hospitals for the poor and indigent and unemployed
(don't believe me? Ask around). I know because I used them before having to
turn to them for many years until I broke the cycle of poverty through
education and very hard work. The lines are 3 time longer and lengthy than
private hospitals (again, ask me, I've gone through that born as a cripple
with club feet for many years since). But, I accepted the fact that there
was a charitable facility that could accommodate me for many years while
operations, breaks to bone, and leg braces, kept me back from participating
with others in society. I appreciate and thank the taxpayer for helping me
out during those desperate times.

I spent 8 yrs. in college and post college, not because I was poor or
anything but wanting a better life for me and a family.

If there is an elitist, it's pretending not to be one and criticizing one
who has never been so.

If one is out of work and can't afford a medical plan, there is welfare,
food stamps and other social programs by churches, organizations and YES,
governments.

Why should anyone pay expensive premiums, struggle for the best things in
life, etc. ONLY to have to share severe waiting time in a doctor's waiting
room, office, non-charitable hospital with socialized medicine recipients
getting a free-ride?

If I had to pay for a movie, wait in line for 30 minutes and there were
those who are given free tickets who would get in before me only because
he's not able to see a movie (could be because he was of a certain
background, from another country, faith or broke), it would be the same
thing. I can't afford a movie these days, but I'll be damned if I would
accept welfare that was being paid by the Federal government on the backs of
hard-working people and taxpayers.

When I was in poverty, yes, I was deprived, and my family didn't have money
for Christmas (nor do I remember celebrating it with gifts), but for the
fact we went to church which didn't cost the taxpayer or wasn't given to me
freely. Worshipping in America, you see, is a privilege and God-Given-Right.
Everyone has the right to go to church and worship here.

Socialized medicine "poisons" those who are recipients because it enslaves
them under the thumb of government bent to "distribute the wealth".

I take it, that if a viewpoint was hell-bent on supporting socialized
medicine like the ones the socialist government is providing, that's why one
would defend it. It's critical that conservatives defeat the idea that we
want to have government in every aspect of our lives.

Nothing elitist about it.

It's a fact that if you defend socialized medicine, you embrace it.

That's my opinion and JY, you will see more people die trying to get
socialized medicine in "Charity-hospitals". I've seen them pass away in
waiting rooms and emergency rooms. Soon it will be such as to what we now
call "private hospitals and medical centers" will degrade to packed "gulags"
of socialism (prisons of healing, you might say).

JY, We might not have a perfect system of health care in America, but if
this bill is passed, YOU and all Americans and every tax-payer will be
forced to pay more, and get less knowing it will serve illegal aliens who
get the free ride as non-Americans not contributing their fare share as
such. That's my point. Distribution of Wealth is but one stroke and
revolution (the Russians, French, Cubans and others forced it) away from, or
where we're being shoveled info presently. Sorry you support Obama and his
cohorts. I don't and everyone knows it. Conservatism, that's my choice as
elitist group of political preference and philosophy. Everyone would be
blessed to have made it from zero instead of having it given to them, born
into, or stolen from someone else.
