First as far as the frivolous claims I could almost guarantee the majority are file because the people are simply trying to get a little more money at all costs. There wouldn't be a question of how much they would give you, as there would be no price for services, medicine, etc...
First, although I think that law suits are out of hand, but if legitimate claims were brought by the government, would they pay? No, and if they did they could control how much they gave you, which with them is almost never enough.
Social Security is another issue, think about the number they give you this is meant for only one thing and that is for employment yet you can't get electric, phone, cable or anything without it. You can legally not provide your number and they can't refuse services but they will. The majority of the spending is done to pad public officials pocket.
Second, since when has anything the govenment done been money well and wisely spent? They can't even seem to get Social Security right, and it has been quite a while we've had that.
"In theory", well said the theory is as corrupt as the government though. Think back to school and the kids that got picked on. They got picked on simply because they looked different or didn't have the right clothes. Also the majority of the problem in school was the teachers singling out students to simply humiliate them or not giving them the extra help needed because they didn't come from the right family. The largest contributor to waste is black book projects and once again padded pockets.
Third, this is a capitalist country. Everyone is provided the same opportunity (in theory) and they make or break depending. Social spending is the largest contributer to government waste there is.
First off, its not free taxpayers are paying for your health insurance. Yes I do know it will be a lot different because there would be stipulations on what procedures or medicines you could receive.
Fourth, has anyone ever had government health care? I have. Military medicine is not great, but it's free. Do you think this would be different?
Hello, you are already paying taxes on other people's sickness as we are for you. Taxpayers pay for your insurance as well as Medicaid and Medicare
I will not pay taxes on other people's sickness. I have a job and can fend for myself thanks.
