DC Tom Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 How is the proposed plan an entitlement? Are you kidding? The very premise behind it is that everyone is entitled to health insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I know I am gonna get flamed. I for one thing we need a little less choice. I think we have too much choice nowadays. DUCK... Incoming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyemike Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Are you kidding? The very premise behind it is that everyone is entitled to health insurance. Again, health care is not an entitlement. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are. That's it. And for those who wish to flame me, none of those three items in the above sentence include health care. If you're going for such an entitlement, you might as well include food, shelter, and free beer for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyemike Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 No, those are rights. Not entitlements. Tom is correct, as he usually is. Thanks for clarifying. Guess there are no entitlements, then. Or a right to health care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Frenkle Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Oh Gawd! Are you kidding? The very premise behind it is that everyone is entitled to health insurance. By definition. Fair enough, I guess I didn't fully understand the meaning of the term. It's certainly an entitlement for those who aren't able to pay, but are instead free riders on the public plan. Is it an entitlement for those who pay for a private or the public plan? It seems more of a requirement for the majority of people, but maybe that's the same thing. I should know better than to show any weakness or lack of knowledge in front of the pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
