I've seen people with $600/mo health insurance still have to pay $100k for cancer care.

I just think it's a very warped sense of priorities when we can spend literally trillions on a war that has resulted in the deaths of upwards of a million people, but helping our own people is somehow evil and marxist. What the @#$@~~!! is that?


Let me get this straight -through sacrifice you could buy catastrophic insurance, but you would rather have the Taxpayers buy it for you - via force of law ?

Also - better check your math on the 1 Million dead in A-Stan & Iraq.

Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.
