But the millions of people with no health insurance at all, the people
with pre-existing conditions, or the people who are sick and can't get
insurance, they're going to love it.

Some of those millions of uninsured people are going to be mad as
hell. They are going to have to pay for this insurance that they did
not want.

Fortunatley there is a escape clause for those of us who dont
want no stinkin insurance. There is a opt-out for relegious reasons.
I think a lotta people gonna get relegion.

So when you get hit by surprise with a devastating illness, like Gunner did,
are you going to refuse treatment beyond what you can pay out of your own
pocket? Can you handle a $275,000 bill, like the one that he got? And if you
get a repeat, like a lot of heart attack victims do, will you be able to
handle another $275,000? I think Dick Cheney had five of them. Could you
handle five?

Why do you think i would want treatment ?
Best Regards

Ed Huntress
Unless you're seriously depressed and suicidal, the normal thing is for
people to want to live. Do you not want to live, if you have a heart attack?

There are potential quality of life issues where i would prefer
not to live.
I am simply saying that some people have more faith in thier god
than they do in doctors and that is the reason for the religious
exemption in the bill.

That's fine Tom and a DNR would cover you up.
The fact remains that affordable health care requires spreading the total
burden over a very large population of patients/insured/covered.

I've had a heart attack, and the living is just fine. It is for most people
who have had one -- those who got care. Those who didn't are dead.
I'd like to say that we can just let everyone decide if they'll be treated
or not but this isn't the Amazaon jungle. Someone is going to patch you up,
like it or not. Then they'll bill the rest of us for it.

Yeah. But we'll still wind up paying to patch them up, just like Gunner.

See, there is something wrong with that good Samaritan policy. Why
couldn't they just let the law of the jungle apply in Gummer's case?
It's what he says is best. I don't see why they couldn't make an
exception for him?
