So yah, here’s the exciting thing. It’s my sweet 16! Not happy part….. government takeover of health care on my sweet 16. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!!!! Insult to injury here, congress! Not only are you planning on taxing the life out of me, a really young… idk “business” owner… perhaps aspiring young business owner, but you’re also doing it on a birthday that is supposed to be happy. Come on, have you no decency? I didn’t even get to to vote you in, and a decision that will be affecting me for probably the rest of my life was made…. without my concent!!!! Home of the free, my ass. I have no rights in this situation. I am a minor that thinks independantly and if I may say so quite informedly, and you don’t have the decency to ask what I want for my life. Frankly scarlett, I was perfectly fine with growing up in the America that Bush “left”. It was certainly closer to the Original that what “the annointed one” has planned for me. And what the heck is this about Obama planning my future for me? I thought that was my job.
Now I know that some people are going to wig out on me and tell me that I’m over-reacting and that in the long run this is a good thing and socialism is a good thing….. welll here take it this way. I want to go to college and get my bachelors degree, right? I’m an aspiring young entrepreneur after all. I am also a hard worker who doesn’t want to rely on other people for means to do said college. I get accepted into college and low and behold, I can’t afford it because I’m getting my ass taxed off because I’m paying for the bum on the corner’s thousands of dollars worth of healthcare. Well, I myself am perfectly healthy and haven’t been to the doctor since freshman year when I got on some $25 monthly medication. Might I add that this medication is not mandatory and I could drop it at any moment and live a cheaper, though less comfortable life and be none the worse for ware. Why would I need health insurence? I’m healthy. I’ve never had a serious illness in all what…. 20 at this time years of my life. I’m in the blush of youth? Why would I want or need healthcare? Oh wait, I don’t get the gov’t healthcare, so I have to pay a fine because of the stupid bill. wow, that majorly blows. You’re telling me that I have to pay for something I don’t want regardless of whether I need it or not? sounds like freedom to me! Oh so you’re making me pay for medical care that I don’t need….. through taxes….. so, who’s using that money? some hobo on wellfare with the sniffles. that a real investment of my hard earned money!
oh well, since all my hard earned dough is going to wellfare with the sniffles, I don’t have money for college. so basically it’s get money from someone else(I refuse) to go to school, or have a mediocre job with less then mediocre pay that gets taken away by the gov’t in the end anyway. wow, sounds like we’re holding out for bright hopes here in America! Basically, if you’re hard working and have any shreds of dignity you get screwed over by this healthcare fiasco.
And all on my 16th Birthday too. Wow.
And I simply related how this is going to affect me, not the rest of the populace, namely old people. You think doctors are going to keep accepting medicade patients after this? Heck no. they lose money whenever they treat a government patient. because the government is in debt. so old people don’t get treated. and old people are the ones that actually NEED Healthcare. for pete’s sake, the stupidity of the liberal mind never ceases to amaze me. Seriously, who’s genious was this “I know, let’s take the healthcare away from the old people who need it and give it to the young people who don’t need or want it.” wow. Real smart there Liberals. I applaud you for that act of stupidity. You do realise that this brilliant thinking will make medicine a unprofitable profession now. Seriously, who’s going to collect a hundred thousand in debt when they’re going to be paying it off untill the apocolypse? even worse, they’re going to be collecting more debt. who’s going to absorb the insufficient funding from the government? um yah, not going to happen. so the result is a lack of specialty doctors. namely ob/gyn docs. okay, so first you take health care away from the old people and give it to the young, and then you run the only docs that the young people would need to go to (lady and baby docs) out of town. another stroke of…. genious? not hardly. so basically if you have a little sniffle, you’ll live cuz you can go to the doctor(well, you would’ve lived without the doctor, for pete’s sake ITS A SNIFFLE!!!!!!) but if you have something actually deadly (cancer, pregnancy gone bad, heart problems, etc.) you’re screwed. Good luck finding a doc.
Oh, and who gets to decide who lives and dies? The doctors. they’ve gotta be thinking about whether it’s worth it keeping some people alive.
the minute man decides who lives and who dies is the minute man decides who’s God. I don’t want to live in a world where some doctor holds the decision to pull the plug on me or a loved one. Last time I checked humans were about keeping everyone alive, no matter how worthless they are. that’s what separates us from the animals. that’s what makes us better. But apparently Liberals are all about making man merely animals. evolved from animals, act like animals, die like animals. It’s sick.
and it’s on my sweet 16.
at least I can get my license soon so I can drive to Canada and hide in the forrest.
Oh dearie! Sorry that you’re feeling so down about the healthcare debacle. But let’s not forget that God is still sovereign. The world may be going to hell in a handbasket, but our destination is secure: “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.” (Phil 3:20-21)
Happy birthday again.
Let’s also not forget that a human’s worth is conferred by God, and is not dependent on their “worth.” The idea that people who are unable to care for themselves in some way are disposable is an Darwinian idea and leads to godlessness.
On a related note, have you seen “Expelled”?
P.S. I love you
(and am glad you are a thinker)
