So? whats that got to do with anything? if someone wants a house or car or holiday etc they pay for it themselves, healthcare should be the same as should education.

Why should say BP pay taxes to fund scooling when he and many millions of others dont have kids, Why should I pay taxes to fund ring and ride for oldies when I have to walk if I cant afford a car, Why should I pay taxes for meals on wheels when I would go hungry if I cant afford food, Why should I pay for sports facilities that I dont use, why should I pay for libraries I never access, Why should my taxes subsidise council house rents when if I cant afford to pay my mortgage I lose my home.

I dont mind the humanitarian approach to having a good first rate trauma service because anyone can become ill or get injured, but no one should be expected to pay for anything after that unless its for themselves. My mate in Kansas has just become a grandad, his son gained a new baby and a bill for $14,000 for the hospital delivery, he doesnt complain because like most Americans he believes in being responsible for your actions and not living as a leach off others, So hen Crystal got prgnant he started saving and working overtime to pay for the babies delivery, That is right and proper. But you belong to the sick sub section that thinks people should never be responsible for themselves.
