The letter in the paper started with the line. Health care for free!
This individual talked about how she got hurt while on vacation (oh how nice to be wealthy enough to vacation overseas). An ambulance was called and she was sent to the hospital, the short of it was after some minor questions this lady was given health care. When it was time to leave they waited for payment arrangement and were told “we don’t have time for that; universal health care should take care of your treatment.
This she claims is what is wrong with America and goes on to say how satisfied she was with her experience and that hard working Americans should get the same because they deserve it. Then complains about how the bloated CEO’s make money on the sick folks.
Let me get this, you have more than enough money to travel overseas and take time off for a vacation and want free health care? Did I get that right? I want the best health care that money can buy and I am willing to pay for it out of my own pocket (and I can’t afford a vacation). You took money out of the pockets of the people like me that paid for you when you obviously can afford it, you don’t want everyone to have free health care you just don’t want to pay for it. This is the problem with those who support health care. If you don’t want people to pay for health care then take all that money your able to spend and give it to the people at Shands who provide care for children! You hypocrite! Talking about bloated CEO’s, there are more good CEO’s than bad, they work long hours to make a business successful and provide jobs so that you can earn a living and go to England and get free health care paid on the backs of the average citizen. Oh and no one deserves anything, this from a veteran who was willing to put his life on the line for one thing. Freedom.
