    Ok, if you'll forgive me for bringing it back to the personal… if you're too rich for Medicaid and too poor to afford market rate insurance, **** you if your kid gets a brain tumor? **** you if you have a pre-existing condition? **** you if your lifetime maximum exceeds the cap on your ****ty insurance? Good to know.

    I've had a preexisting condition since I was 8.

    Pre ACA I was paying 120 a month. After ACA I'm at $47 and $8 for dental. Now I'm quite aware that someone's premiums probably increased when mine went down. My speciality doctor charges $200 an hour ( I see him for 15 minutes and have to pay the hour amount) and my meds are almost $200 every 3 months just to have a normal quality of living.

    Because GA State blocked Medicaid expansion there's people in similar or worse off position than i that make too much for Medicaid or not enough to afford ACA.

    It sucks that I had to spend as much as I did just to have a normal functioning body and still do now. If we couldn't get single payer I wanted a public option.

    I don't see how politics should play into any of this. Policy I could see an argument.

    As a crude question though...wouldn't the world be better off if more people died for population reasons?

    To add on to the crudeness, I believe that's why [MENTION=18]Dalyn[/MENTION] and I have been Pro-Choice. People are complaining about social welfare now. If we had more babies being born with parents that can't afford them the system would be even more handicapped.

    I've heard that argument and think it has merit.

    I'm not a pro life person. I would just never want to be involved in a situation where an abortion was done.

    Sure. Life unworthy of life. Euthanize them. That's an idea that's been validated by western history.

    You played the anecdotal card here, but I'm curious of your answer to the original question. Is health care a right?

    Quality is irrelevant for everyone?

    Good to know that you put your family first before those who are less fortunate. You certainly have that right.

    The right to seek good health care? I don't think that's necessarily American.

    No, I mean, in general ... do you think that good health is something that our society generally provides for?
