So Let's See What Happens

Basic healthcare services are already cheap enough not to be a problem...

My stance on that isn't that people can't afford a checkup its that people are actively not choosing to spend their money that way. I would like a system that will encourage people to take a more active role in their health than they currently do.

So who should be taxed more? The 50% of the population that pays more taxes than they get refunded and likely already pay for their insurance, or the other 50% of the population that dont pay federal income taxes and are more likely to not have insurance?

As I am in the half that does pay taxes, I'm not thrilled about it either but that is a whole other issue. Feel free to start a new thread for that.

You have shown in your statements that you really have no clue about what you are typing in regards to taxation or healthcare costs, including insurance.

I admit, I am not a health care, taxation, or public policy expert, never claimed to be. You aren't either despite your smug demeanor. I suppose I could just shut my mouth about what I feel is right and let you tell me what is good for me. I'm truly fine that you don't agree with me but what does bother me is how dissmissive you are of any idea I bring up as a possible way of bettering the health of our fellow Americans. If half of all Americans died tomorrow you wouldn't care as long it could somehow be attributed to a poor choice they made at some point in their lives. You've made it clear that your goal is to show argumentative superiority, not to search for ways to improve lives.
