Re: Rationing? Oh, please . . .

So, you believe that it's my and other tax payer's responsibility to fund your health care needs?! Why don't you just walk uninvited into my house and pilfer my medicine cabinet for your cold medicine because you have the sniffles? Here's an idea, since I and other tax payer's fund your health care needs then we will dictate whether you can smoke or drink, we will dictate whether or not you can get your Big Mac, we may decide that you can only go outside when the temperature is between 65 deg and 85 deg. But it can't be raining and snowing in case you slip and hurt yourself. Oh, by the way, if it's sunny, we will require you to be covered from head to toe because skin cancer treatments can be expensive. But we pay the bill so it shouldn't matter to you what we dictate just so long as you have health insurance! Sounds absurd doesn't it?! So does the expectation that the government reach unrestrained into everyones wallet to pay for your health care! Be responsible! Get a job, save your money, live a healthy lifestyle, DO what you have to DO to get your health care, just like the countless millions of other Americans have done.
