Hawaii ending universal child health care. Is the government becoming more and more selfish?

We Answered:

I fail to see how you could attach the word "selfish" to the situation. It's simply a matter of whether it can be paid for. You see, barring a return of the institution of slavery, you can't have universal health care without paying for it. Those who argue that health care is a right, which it distinctly cannot be, forget that health care must be provided by somebody, and the health care provider must be paid.

Do conservatives agree with Bush's veto of child health care coverage?

We Answered:

The $80,000 figure is a talking-point lie to enlist the support of people who do not know better.

No family with that income would be eligible unless there were very special circumstances. Those circumstances are determined by each state. The top income figure was set so that states had the LATITUDE to cover a handful of special cases where children that need insurance can't get it.

The bill is entirely paid for with tobacco taxes.

According to Bush, it will take revenue away from private insurance companies and replace it with government paid medical care. This is also a talking-point lie. The program does not prescribe how the states pay for medical care. But what most states do for most beneficiaries is pay for or subsidize private health insurance. This bill has the full endorsement of the insurance industry because it creates more insurance customers rather than talking them away.

So by pretending that this is a costly program that provides free health care to any family making less than $80,000 and takes customers away from private insurance the President justifies his actions to the ill-informed.

But the truth is, this President is taking an ideological stand at the cost of the health of American children. I wonder why he did not do that 2 years ago with the medicare prescription bill (which really is unaffordable). Could it be because seniors vote and children can't?

Judy Said:

Why does Bush avoid talking to Governors on child health care?

We Answered:

Because bush's buddies, the health care providers(Bill Frist comes to mind), insurance companies, and of course all the EMPLOYERS in America don't want to pay anything they don't have too(taxes in the cases of all of them) and don't want to lose their profits(once again all of them) and last of all bush doesn't care that about children.. its in the conservative mantra... "Love the Fetus, hate the child" Randi Rhodes stated that...
and btw look at how Conservatives look at abortion.... they really don't care about children...only the Fetuses.
He also is probably avoiding the state governors because he is moralily wrong or a moron, not sure which, or maybe both

Ricky Said:

If God gave you the right to raise your child, who gave those rights to the UN?

We Answered:

Are you saying that there is something wrong with UNESCO and having a children's bill of rights?

Look at the world outside of your privileged comfy little sphere. Where is your head? Is it dark there?
