Health care for all should be a given.  Nobody should die because they can't afford the medication they need.
   Thank you.  That's all I was trying to say. ;)

I wish we could all have free or low cost healthcare. It will probably never happen though.

Yes we should.  Taxes are wasted everyday.  Cut the fat and corruption.  Big pharma wanted to keep people sick and addicted because it's more money in their pockets.

No one is "entitled" to anothers service. There's also no such thing as "free" healthcare.

Yes, every American who pays taxes should have healthcare.

If you're disabled, you wouldn't be forced to work.... only the abled-bodied who can work who don't would get the work or volunteer requirement. This has been in operation in several states long before President Trump.
If you're disabled, you already get free healthcare, right?

I don't see a problem with everyone pitching in, even if all it is is doing some sort of volunteering for the community. 

Almost half of the population of the USA don't pay taxes.   In California, 5600 taxpayers pay for over 80% of all the taxes.... that does not sound fair at all... especially when the population of California is 39 million people.

I don't see a problem with healthcare, most jobs provide it, if you're poor it's free, if you're working poor... under $1300 a month for a single it's free.... at least it is that way in California.  Don't like healthcare in your state, change states.  Don't like the healthcare in the USA change countries to one you like.

No one in America is dying on the street due to lack of healthcare.... most clinics have sliding scale pay systems if the government doesn't already provide it.   Look up free clinics on the net, there is a web site that lists the directory, it's massive.

And I want to live in a world where Unicorns eat rainbows and poop butterflies. Nothing in life is free, there is a cost for everything, someone has to pay for healthcare. I think that you should not have to pay more for health care if you work and earn more money. That is like charging someone, who is larger, more money for clothes because more material is needed. There has to be a happy median but this, like Unicorns eating rainbows, will not occur in a white, male, higher income, two party (both political and social), system. The people with the power to make things happen already have their benefits paid for and do not care about anything other than self service in the form of donations from corporate America-regardless of their party affiliation. Insurance companies will pay very little for prescriptions if anything at all, for life threatening maladies. For example,I have a deep veinous thrombosis (leg clot form a bad foot injury that does not go away with coumadin/warfarin) and Xarelto samples worked for three weeks till I ran out. A prescription for Xarelto was $650 and cost prohibitive. The odds of the clot traveling to my heart are high. No magical sliding scale. I am looking at dropping my $800/month health insurance and paying for ailments as they come up.

whenever government mandates something, it will be bad.   just stop trying to get everyone else to pay for you,  and stop bringing more people in that don't contribute.   stop giving money to terrorist countries,  This is also why Trump is in the top 5 presidents of all time

Yes, Yes I do think it should be.  Why not?  It can be done.

I agree that healthcare should be available to everyone.  But there are a lot of people who currently take advantage of the disability system.  Maybe they wouldn't if healthcare was available to everyone. ???

There should be in my opinion.  The fact that there are places like Saint Judes that help families pay for cancer treatments for their kids shows that it's possible to cover medical procedures from outside sources.  I don't know how much would be needed, but hopefully it can be figured out.
