You should not be proud of being a socialist.

"The fear of lawsuits among doctors does seem to lead to a noticeable amount of wasteful treatment. Amitabh Chandra — a Harvard economist whose research is cited by both the American Medical Association and the trial lawyers’ association — says $60 billion a year, or about 3 percent of overall medical spending, is a reasonable upper-end estimate. If a new policy could eliminate close to that much waste without causing other problems, it would be a no-brainer." I would say $60 billion is alot of money. I researched socialism for you, and the defintions i have found are that you and I are equals under the socialism idea. Which is wrong. Although I am in the military, between my earnings and my spouses earnings, we are in the middle class. A socialists ideal world would make myself and the unemployed person equal, or the person who wants to ride the system, or the person who chose not to go to school or get into a good paying factory job (which doesnt require an education). It is called experience and hands on training idiot. Something a college cannot give you. I do agree that doctors, lawyers, CPA's and some other jobs do and rightly should requirer higher education, but my guess is that the person i directed my comments to was or is going into the business way of education. This is an interesting thought but, in the means of business, to be successful, you either have it or you dont. An education is not going to give it to you. Infact i challenge you to find the percentage of successful business owners and CEO's, those with college and without. This link should help you with your research. http://www.college-startup.com/college/15-successful-entrepreneurs-who-didnt-need-college/ And finally, i never said i deserve it over the other person, i said that I HAVE IT! If you dont, sucks to be you, dont go getting sick. The military isnt a form of Socialism. I have Soldiers that fall under my command. They are in no way equal to me, in pay, rank, possition, and experience. This goes for myself as well. I am in no way equal to those appointed above me. One of the essential tenets of socialism is public ownership of the means of production. What does this mean? It means that governments, rather than private individuals, own business enterprises. Get your head out of your ass buddy. Have a wonderful Army day!

Second take a class in logic. No reason why you should get health care instead of him. Third learn something about the actual health care debate. Do you have any idea why drugs cost a lot. Do you have any idea how much malpractice lawsuits account for. Do you understand how the laws are set up right now that force people to turn towards emergency rooms who can't afford insurance because they are the only people forced to see them. Finally you're just fucking stupid if you think that there are very few jobs that don't require a college education.

But guess what, you do! Yes, i enlisted knowing full well i would go to war one day. I enlisted right out of highschool. As for working at McDonald's, it was used to show that there is healthcare options out there if you look hard enough and are willing to do the job. I do agree that there are some jobs, not many, that if you do not have the proper education, you will fail at it. There arent many though. When you are in a job that does not provide anything for healthcare, well, you made that choice. So if you get deathly ill, it isnt my fault and i am not to worry about it. Yes, even serving in the Army, despite what you might think, i still pay federal taxes, Social Security, and medicare. I did also take an $8500 bonus for reenlisting this time for 6 years, and $18,500 the last time i reenlisted for 6 years. Which, i maybe should thank you for that. As well I am responding to you on duty hours, from a Gov PC, again, thank you. So, i guess if i get shot in the field, maybe i owe you one? I mean i have 16 years in and 4 away from retiring @ 37. I own 3 houses, and own 2 late model vehicles, 08 & 09. i am almost finished with my free college as well, thank you for that. The $700,000 my wife gets if i die while in the Army, i guess i can thank you for that too. Idiot. :P I agree, you shouldnt have to pay for my healthcare either. But guess what, you do!

College is for pussys anyways, why should we get an education. I know this might blow your mind, but people do need to get educated to perform certain jobs successfully. AND just for your information, the military is socialist. Why should I have to pay for your health care? Shit, You're the one who enlisted, you knew the risks when you enlisted, hell you get shot in the field we should't be responsible for you. Nice logic.

I'll think of it. William, I can’t quite put my finger on why… but there is something ironic about you leading a cause against the “uneducated.” I’ll think of it.
