Free healthcare.

[Bleckonia]

So if you have a heart attack, you don't have the right to get immediate treatment?

EMS won't charge you until after the operation.

And what happens if you can't afford the NECESSARY operation to save your life? So it should cost money to be able to have the right to live?

How will the homeless ever become "not homeless" and self-sufficient if we give them everything for free?

It's hard to get a job when you are suffering from goiter.

Why get a job at all if you have free stuff? They probably were homeless because they did somthing. Maybe did somthing stupid, or illegal, or didn't study in school. This is a sad reality. But, we can't stop it. I don't want to pay for a person who isn't going to even try to prop themselves up.

[Ifreann]

Healthcare should be given to the homeless for free and everyone else should pay. If you can afford a house, you can afford your own healthcare insurance.

What if you can afford a house but only just?

Give them a house, and bingo, they're no longer homeless.

[Souseiseki]

Yes.

[Avenio]

There shouldn't be an industry to profit off the misery of others. Healthcare should be a basic right.

Healthcare is not a right.

In a lot of places, it practically is, you know.

Or maybe they were homeless because their parents were also poor and they weren't able to stay in school because they had to work to feed their family. Or maybe they have an illness. Maybe they were just unlucky.

It's the new American Exceptionalism, we can't do things other countries are perfectly capable of doing.

The world needs ditch diggers. They can get a job if they look.

[No-Ghost Zone]

There is no thing like free healthcare, the taxes is a bill for "customers."

[Amland]

It's been free in the UK for a very, very long time. But for the countries without it, definitely.

I agree completely.

Like I said, they perform the operation and then you owe a debt to them. If you can't pay it off, declare bankruptcy like anyone else who is in debt.

People aren't motivated to work from getting stuff. If somebody doesn't want to work, no carrot/stick combination will move them to work. Likewise, if someone wants to work, they will work even in the most deplorable conditions with little to no salary.

really? Who's going to hire someone who cannot provide a home address? Who doesn't have a resume and who may be mentally and/or physically unwell?

[Taneristan]

Of course healthcare must be provided by government...Healthcare is a basic right which should not be let to market.

As we know due to asymmetric information , healthcare cannot be provided efficiently by the market alone therefore it is a market failure.I think the only way out of all the non-essential treatments etc. government should not let private sector to be involved in healthcare and provide it to everyone free of charge.

Maybe they can't look because they're too busy looking for food. They can't consider the long term because if they abandon the short term, they will starve. Or maybe no one will hire them. Maybe they can't find a job. Maybe they have a disability. Just envision yourself as a homeless person with limited education and constant hunger.

[Souseiseki]

Why get a job at all if you have free stuff?

Yeah man. Let's all quit our jobs and go on benefits, it's a fucking paradise.

This isn't really true sorry! "isn't going to even try?" Do you have any fucking idea how the world works? If I was the kind of person that was comfortable with human suffering I'd hope you got completely fucked over through no fault of your own and died in the streets, your last breathe used to disown everything you just said, and repeat this process until society is rid of this cancer.

I take it you haven't heard of non company work?

It's worse than that, it's practically ignoring the existence of things other countries are doing, and have been doing for 50+ years.

Yes. Of course they can, from the magical well of infinite jobs. Of course, it's kinda hard to get a job without a home or a phone and once you get a mobile phone so you can get a fucking job LOOK AT THAT PHONE HE'S NOT POOR AT ALL.

Clearly all the unemployed just aren't looking. Why did no one come up with before? Operator, get me Obama. Now.

And you have to live miserably for the rest of your life in debt because of an accident?

non company work?

[Sucrati]

Nothing in life is free, someone is required to pay for it.

We could become like Canada where half of the cost of everything seems to be taxes to fund the system... then again, we don't like high taxes for the most part.
