In response to a Ronpauligist on Hillary's Universal Healthcare

First and foremost, I don't like Hillary and didn't vote for her.

Secondly...
Universal Healthcare is the antithesis of your summary in Canada, France, or any other country (practicing universal Healthcare) that is truly freer than we are. Have you ever been without health insurance? Have you ever been without health insurance, working your ass off, sick, unable to afford care, making it so you can't WORK to make more money because you're so sick? Until you have, then you can talk.

People who spout off about the evils of a government-funded (which is truly funded by the tax payers "hard earned money" as you so eloquently stated. Who, then, have the right to dictate how the Healthcare system is run: eg. no one in their right mind would put up with DMV-esque workers in the Healthcare system. Also, the DMV is a state entity--blame California for that one. Popular sovereignty ftw). Those against Universal Healthcare never seem to see any positives, nor do they research how these positives can be obtained without sucking paychecks dry. If anyone was smart enough to pick up on things other countries have done successfully, (pushing aside the 'America-knows-best' ego) maybe we would be better for it.

I think the problem is people who have never had any hardship in their lives. They assume everything can be paid for by 'hard-earned cash' because their family unit--and usually by extension their group of friends--earns enough money to live a decent life because they were PRIVILEGED by opportunity. You and I both know (unless you are completely blinded by what politicians and the media tells you) that opportunity waxes and wanes throughout this country; it is consistent in places saturated in wealth, as the wealthy can send their children to better schools, tutoring centers, colleges, etc. While the (relatively non-existent) middle class and the poor struggle to get their children into good schools; pay for childcare; pay for the overwhelming cost of health care if they can afford it; and other things necessary to live in this country. When you can say you've lived that life, we can talk.

Finally, this libertarian/anarchist movement makes me sick. Why do people who HATE government want to be IN government? That's something I never understood. While our government is in shambles now, it shouldn't be eradicated. The current problems need to be resolved (we have solutions to these problems, we just need someone to have the balls/ovaries to implement them) and someone needs foresight enough to find solutions to problems that will, inevitably, affect America. If someone *cough Obama* would be willing to admit the problems of this country (while still BELIEVING in it) they will be best able to achieve solutions.
