healthcare is a right in 99% of the rest of the world

this fake ass shit that oboma came up with sucks a dick and needs to be thrown out
99% of the rest of the world? yep all over the continents of asia, africa and south america the benevolent governments are treating their people.

you may want everyone to be healthy, happy, blah blah blah but this leads down a slippery slope which i believe is the original purpose of this post by roberth..

once you created this program where everyone is forced to pay for each other's health you then open the door to rules to control each other's lifestyle in the sake of driving health care costs down.

go look at your neighbor to the north. he smokes? well thats a healthcare burden to the country. if he contiunes smoking we must tax him more.

neighbor to the east. hes a fat POS? well he must log 7 hours of intense work out time at a government approved gym with a instructor signing of on his activity. Why? cuz his fat ass drives up health care costs. if he doesnt we will tax him more.

is that little billy to your south drinking a slurpee and having a candy bar? well those are deemed unhealthy by the government panel in charge of deciding what those in the healthcare system can eat. well little billy's folks will get a tax for him eating those.

what we will see happen from this dumb law if it is not repealed is another horribly under funded system. eventually it will become a marginal tax pulling all of its funding from borrowed funds and the rich. its all about winning some elections in the short run for the libtards.
