Why do you think you are special enough to warrant people using their own lives to harness resources at no compensation to themselves in order to let you possibly live a little longer?

Anyone notice this?"

I don't think myself higher than any other person. I would hate my life to be extended if someone else had to die. What are you referring to?

Do you think you deserve free medical treatment of you have no money to pay for it?

What about a national flat tax on all incomes and all income groups in order to pay for a single payer system? Then everyone is paying and everyone is getting medical care.

I would probably want it, but only because I am a greedy fucker who wants to consume tons of resources with as little effort as possible.

Are you a greedy fucker?

You propose we spend all of our taxes on an all access medical care system? :laugh2:

this life.

Fantastic straw man argument. No, I support a national flat tax, and this would be a small percentage of that tax. I couldn't give you exact numbers.

Answer the question, do you believe you should be subsidized or given free medical treatment if you were dying of an illness?

If for some reason I couldnt pay then yes. You want to throw poor people in the garbage?

Why should people have to use part of their life so you can live longer? What possible reason could you have other than being greedy for more life?

So lets say you have a friend who for some reason cannot pay what it will take to get fixed up.
You might not be able to pay for him either and is denied treatment. Throw him in the garbage?

What about all of the poorly paid Chinese who live and work in miserable conditions that make things you consume? How do you justify letting African children starve and die of easily prevented diseases like malaria when you could take your money, go to Africa, and help these children personally?

It seems like you are saying that you deserve people to go out of their ways and help you, but you are not willing to reciprocate if it requires you going out of your way.

If I didn't have the funds to help him, and he couldn't find anyone else to leech off of then he will die. I don't care what you do with the body. I would prefer it be given to science.

How about not. Congress would just pile that additional burden onto the "rich" with exemptions for those who can be easily bribed.

“In politics, few talents are as richly rewarded as the ability to convince parasites that they are victims.  Welfare states on both sides of the Atlantic have discovered that largesse to losers does not reduce their hostility to society, but only increases it.  Far from producing gratitude, generosity is seen as an admission of guilt, and the reparations as inadequate compensation for injustices – leading to worsening behavior by the recipients.

I would feel entitled to medical treatment because we have programs for people like this, Medicaid, Medicare, Free Clinics. I pay taxes so technically I would still not be getting it "free".
