A social security system too; how would we eat or pay the utilities? |
I probably couldn't, I know my Mum couldn't.
That's the thing that bothers me about conservative politics, they consign anyone they don't need to the gutter to die and then say "it's your choice!".
BS! |
Actually, they say that the government shouldn't be the one doing things for you, you should do them for yourself.
Now, if you are injured, recently laid off, etc, then I have no problems with you getting government funding. ?We take care of the weakest among us in their time of need. ?I see no problem with that. ?The problem comes when government becomes the sole provider for people. ?
Social security is a great example - Why don't you have another form of income? ?Appologies if you fall into one of the catagories above, but that should only be a short-term solution either way. ?If you are capable of working, you should work for yourself. ?If you are capable of providing for your retirement, you should do so. |
And if you can't? |
Barring some mental or physical disability why can't you? |
I have a chronic illness, as such there's no way any company is going to cover me.
Are you saying that those who need the most financial help with health care should get nothing? |
get a new job that offers the coverage you need. |
And if he can't get a job due to his disability, or the only company that employs him doesn't offer insurance, and doesn't pay enough so that he can get it? No, I see your point. Let him die if he gets sick. He obviously wasn't worth keeping alive he was poor.
Please don't turn around and tell me that you're pro-life. |
If that's the case, the government would already cover him. |
No that isn't true. There is at least a 6-month waiting period for disability benefits, and a 2-year waiting period for medicare benefits. |
But it will still cover him  |
But would it (or a private health provider for that matter) cover me for over $1,600.00 a month in medications?
Medications that are not made for my condition, and are being prescribed experimentally at best?
I think not?
PS: A 2 year wait for Medicare benefits in the US? I wouldn't bother applying, I'd probably be dead in 2 years. |
If the medication is still experimental would be illegal for any provider to pay for it. |
The medication was not experimental, using it to treat my condition was. |
But you said it was still experimental at best. unless you were selected as part of the experiment it would be illegal for anyone to give it to you. |
*facepalm*
Listen very carefully, I'll spell it out so even you couldn't misunderstand.
Since the medication was not made to treat my condition (as far as I know, no medications are made to treat it), and my doctor was acting on anecdotal evidence that it "might" help, the use of said medication would be classed as "experimental".
The drug itself is fully approved, just not in this aplication.
I really cant tell if you're obtuse or just trying to split hairs to avoid the main point here? |
It is experimental for your condition right? ¿Therefore it is ILLEGAL for anyone to even prescribe it for your condition much less pay for it. ¿Your are expecting other people to pay thousands of dollars for a medication that a doctor THINKS might help. ¿I am sorry but unless it was actually approved for your condition it would be against the law for you to even have it. |
Thanks for your uninformed idiocy, it makes me feel so much better to know how little you understand anything! If I was restricted to medications that are made to treat my condition, I would in seriously bad shape right now (if not dead), as NO medication are made to treat me. |
