  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I'm not into socialism, so 0%.
Taxpayers already pay enough taxes as is..
Here's an idea for those who are for free universal healthcare...if the gov't wasn't so big, some of the money may go to that.
But either way, not a fan of socialism.
Another idea...maybe those who might be in a bind some on medical care should forgo cellphone purchases/plans, getting nails done, drinking alcohol, eating out, satellite tv plans, vacations, etc. I've had to forgo some of these things at times in life and I didn't suffer due to lack of them.
Also, some medical facilities are willing to work with people and let them make payments.

@Always in His Presence How would you answer your post question?
Most places will let you make payments ( especially if you are a long-time patient with a history of paying).

And when you've done all of those and still can't afford it?

Yeah but some people in this very thread appear to want to keep having to pay much more than other countries for comparable results.
Bluntly, not even comparable, often worse. Your life expectancy, rates of death from preventable or treatable conditions, maternal and infant mortality, and more, are all worse than ours. You pay more, get less value for what you pay, and still have much of your population arguing against change that would improve things. It makes no sense!

Note: I'm not saying our system is perfect. It definitely also has room to improve. But even so, the numbers speak for themselves.

There is no such thing as free anything it is paid for one way or another.

But its more fair imo that people in necessity could have access to healthcare.
I heard people have died because they were denied basic treatments if that is true, that is bad
