Note that I've said that I'm not against social support programs, but as they are instituted. I've no problem with you getting assistance at need, but this is the system which is slated for expansion, the one which I had the sad duty of telling a full blown AIDS patient that he couldn't access his medicaid benefits because the state screwed up and wouldn't let anyone bill them. That's the same system. People get a couple hundred bucks per child with no restrictions which were used for smokes, alcohol and HDTVs. I know you remember that one.
You know that people are living in the inner cities who are having generation after generation of children, with no motivation to change. That's the same system.
Tell me, what reforms have you seen instituted to change these things? I've seen none, yet people are paying 10k a year taxes on sub-200k homes and it's not enough. Could you justify the status quo to them? I could not.
As far as Marlin, he's not thinking and I'll prove it if he answers this question.
Supposing that in 2011 there was 25% increase of incidence of diabetes in the population.
Would the cost of health care go up that year or down, and why?
What does that have to do with anything? Did it go up because of more people with diabetes or is it more people saw a doctor and now could be treated properly?
And as already pointed out if they live shorter lives then in the total they would be cheaper then a healty person.
