close,
it should have read:
but your ramblings confirm what was already known .... you have NO understanding of civic duty
I have looked it up, Harris and Montgomery Counties of TX spent over 600,000 on uninsured healthcare expense and that was funded by the taxpayers of the state of TX not the Federal Taxpayers thus making healthcare a state issue
Are you saying absolutely no federal funding was involved?
but it is obvious you have no clue about the civic obligation of a citizen
How about answering the question that Boo refuses to answer? Who pays the cost of the uninsured, the Federal Govt. or the states?
Yep, that is what I am saying, all right out of the local budgets. Why is it federal responsibility to fund state issues and problems? Since the Federal Govt. hasn't secured the border they should be billed as most of that cost was illegal alien healthcare
Growing up I learned personal responsibility. I don't expect you to pay for my healthcare, why do you think it is my responsibility to pay for yours? I asked you a question which of course you ignored, who pays the cost of the uninsured, the Federal govt. or the state governments.
Again, both. Depending on circumstance and program involved and method, either or both. Also, we pay with our insurance premium and hospital costs. So, in many different ways, everyone pays. for the uninsured.
Again, why do you want the Federal Tax payer to pay for state and local issues?
Not sure I care either way. I only care that reform gets done, and believe a universal payer will do a beter job. that our peicemeal efforts.
BTW, it isn't just a local issue. Factually, you're incorrect. This is a national problem, effecting all fifty states.
You don't pay for mine, but both of us pay for the uninsured whether we have health care reform or not. And I have ignored nothing.
If they are getting medicare or medicaid which I'm pretty sure they are federal funding is involved. Medicaid is jointly funded by both the federal government and the state.
That is normally the belief of a liberal who ignores history yet still has the arrogance that they can do it better than other liberals. Medicare costs more than intended and still is growing. Right now both Medicare and SS are on budget and shouldn't be. My hope is that the Republican House tries to implement legislation that removes it from budget. then you really will have a true picture of what is going on but doubt that you want that picture.
Medicaid is a state issue,
They won't. If they did, they would be out faster than they got back in. Again, you're need to read slower. Those programs do more, and thus cost more. It is what they do that makes them so popular. The people, you know the electorate you claim we should listen to, want those programs.
It is jointly funded by the feds and the state.
They do more because you say so, the cost benefit is terrible which is the case with most liberal programs. Problem with liberals is they don't understand that liberal social programs cost more than intended and actually do less than projected on a cost benefit basis.
Really? What's the benefit in your mind? Cost benefit terrible to who? I would love to see something factual on this.
Thanks. :thumbs:
And that shows exactly what? Medicaid is insurance below a certain income and Medicare is insurance for over the age of 65. The majority fit into the other programs. Again a selective chart without context. What percentage of the people fit into each category?

Fact is, like it or not, it is below the cost of the rest of medicine. I await your evidence. Cost benefit, remember.
