Absolutely no reason to stick that on an employer, not to mention the unemployed, disabled, elderly, etc.

As the rest of the world knows, Health CARE is the responsibility of the government.

It happened when Hollywood took over the White House in Reagan's term for Israel and dismantled the entire state while building up the war machine to fight proxy wars for the Jooos

you dont have to be employed to have health insurance, but the cost is very prohibitive. i think companies cut deals with insurance companies to get discounted rates..

It happened under NIXON.

The reason why it's tied to employment is to tie the employee to the employer. No matter how abusive.

The previous STANDARD was better.

It mandated the number of hospital beds per capita per county, and funded the construction of HOSPITALS.

NIXON was a NAZI.

There is no such thing as sovereign debt. Nationalize monetary policy at the FED, reinstate Greenbacks.

The Hill-Burton Act was the previous standard.

If we extended medicare to Hill-Burton it'd be CHEAPER and BETTER than HMO.

Alternatively, we could have State Health insurance and Hill-Burton.

Rebates fo surpluses.

(I know what I'm talking about, my grandfather was President of Oklahoma Blue Cross before it went quasi-profit)

But I have to bail for a debate. Will return once it's streaming.

Thanks for the info...I'm in my 50's and don't remember people complaining about health care costs when I was a kid- usually just one parent worked and everyone was covered.

You'd rather have a world where irresponsible people shuffle around the streets on little skate boards and poor people walk along coughing their TB all over you. Old ladies and old men picking up cans, cigarette butts and mcdonald sacks with some fries left in it. What a wonderful world. Pottersville. It's ok to have 750 military bases around the world and fight 5 wars simultaneously, but not a penny for the irresponsible poor. f*ck em.

It won't be that way much longer, if you can find a job that offers benefits anymore you are very lucky.
