If you don't want government health care, free up the money for those who do. Think of the cost savings. :)

never depend on a police officer and never expect the fire department to come in case of an emergency. It's all socialism....buwhahahahahah

Hey dumb ass they were forced to pay into ss so they should collect the small percentage that the govt is so generously giving them back :whatever:

Yeah, I'm sure there'd be plenty who'd go off Medicare, if they were refunded all that they had paid into it.

Seems fair.

Yep.  Give them a choice...Medicare, or your own money back.  The system would deflate like the Hindenburg.

Of course, the DUmmies would hate that idea...you would have had to have a job and pay into the system in order to get money out of it.  No Free Ponies!!

That's it.  And that's why this argument from them is so infantile.  Their premise is set up on having paid in but not getting your money back if you leave.  Nope, not the way it works.  I will gladly, this very moment, opt out of paying into Social Security and Medicare.  Just give me back what I've paid in with, let's say, 5% compounded interest and I'll gladly never use either.

And this stupid statement that people paying taxes in order to fund roads, police, fire dept., etc... is socialism is even more immature of an argument.  There are some items which are legitimate functions of government.  Just because people have determined that they need to pool their money together in order to accomplish a common goal doesn't mean that particular item is a socialist undertaking.  If that were the case, then stockholders in a corporation pooling what they wish together monetarily for the common goal of providing capital for the corporation would make that relationship socialistic.  Ergo, evil global corporations practice socialism.

Dissecting and destroying their stupid little brain-drizzles is just too easy.

Good deal if they didn't have to pay for it anyway. Isn't it also the law they have to join?

Whaaaaaaaat? Did you just say that the government might not have the money to pay for all of this, that maaaaaybe some people should sacrifice their healthcare in order for that money to be used for other, more deserving people? If I didn't know better, I could swear that you were trying to make the case for healthcare rationing. Let's see here...

Anyone over 65 should get forget about that lifesaving procedure NOW!
   
If you don't expect to stick around much longer , free up the money for those who do. Think of the cost savings.
Yep, just as I thought...

Picky, picky, picky.  :lmao:  No Free Pony.  The dummies will keep digging at the manure pile because they just know there is one under there.

BTW I would love to have the money involuntarily confiscated from me for Medicare, and as a former federalista (aka retired CSRS employee ), I would also like the money I paid before and after retirement which was confiscated by Social Insecurity but it ain't gonna happen.  Heck I would even like to have the option of calling any or all of it a charitable contribution on my taxes some year before I cash out. :hammer:

Medicare and Medicaid are the two biggest bureaucratic nightmares I know of.   I guess after you bury a few and send a few more to the home you learn that lesson.
