Healthcare plans: a threat to freedom? 7:59pm on 06 Nov 2009 #9 #21 #28 #51 - and others...

Thanks for your comments.

Clearly I am right -- the only way to give people freedom is to remove from them the 'burden' of having other people charged for their health care.

I don't want others to pay for my healthcare, it is an insult to have stolen money forced on me -- equally I don't expect to be forced to pay for others, it is for *me* to choose how my money (earned by the sweat of my own brow) is spent.

The NHS (as currently organised) is a disgusting affront to freedom. Its better than the current american system, but only in that China is more democratic than the USSR was...

The current US system is an anti capitalist,. anti freedom monopoly run by the AMA, the current UK system is pure socialism -- both are bad.
Healthcare plans: a threat to freedom? 01:50am on 06 Nov 2009 p.s. if you doubt me - just check out 'the simpsons', one of the most popular cartoons of all time -- who is sponsoring it on tv? the damn NHS!!
Their stupid plasticine models are shown at each break - and who is paying? the british taxpayer...

Everyone *knows* being fat (smoking, tomb-stoning etc) is not healthy - we just don't really care! It is not a lack of information, it is a lack of *MONEY* to do any thing more itneresting... and why don'e we have the money? because the damn government have stolen it from us in taxes to pay for their damn commercials!!
Healthcare plans: a threat to freedom? 01:44am on 06 Nov 2009 DigitalJanitor - you want to know how public health care is a threat to individual freedom? Just look around you in the UK.

Just about everything we do is monitored, judged and controlled by government on the basis that "it costs the NHS millions of pounds". Smoking, drinking, horse-riding, driving, eating, sleeping, waking, walking - everything.

If someone wants to be obese then that should only be their concern - however the existance of the NHS means that we all pile in against the individual because it is 'costing us money' via the NHS.

If someone wants to smoke tobacco then that should only be their concern - however the existance of the NHS means that we all pile in against the individual because it is 'costing us money' via the NHS.

The NHS is an excuse for the government to expand its remit endlessly, taking control of every aspect of our behaviour - by forcing us to pay for others treatment they take no responsibility on themselves, and the government trick us in to blaming them for their behavour, rather than blaming the governemnt for forcing us pay for it.

Kill the NHS and see individual freedom live again.

If I don't pay your medical bill then I don't care how much you eat, drink, sleep, drive, dive, ride etc - it is your business alone, you are free to do what you like with out interference from me - go, enjoy! Live your Life!

The price of the NHS is not just taxes, it is government monitoring and interference - it is a very bad thing.

We can pay for our own health care and choose (if we wish) to give to others to pay for their health care, the state need not be involved - they just add cost, admin and waste; while stealing our freedoms too.
Obama's Vietnam? 08:29am on 08 Oct 2009 The *KEY* problem in Afghanistan is that we aren't there to support the people.

One can only get things done with the support of the people.

What do the Afghan people want? Does anyone care what they want? Do they want a phoney president who rigged his election? Do they want an elected president at all? Has anyone bothered to ask them?

Our government are treating the Afghan people in the same contemptuous way they treat us - with aloof, patronising, 'we know best' arrogance.

The difference is that we aren't armed, and have a genuinely new government on the horizon so we remain peaceful.
Benefit cuts consensus? 10:51am on 05 Oct 2009 Ministers are sceptical that this can be done at all and believe the Tory plan would be an unacceptable risk with the public finances.

Nick did you manage to keep a straight face when you wrote that?

To suggest that ministers have any concern about risks to public finances is bizarre!

All the things that could have been done with an extra trillion of public debt and what do we have? Back to where we were 12 years ago, but with an extra massive debt...

Every one in the country could have been given £15,000 cash... that would have ended poverty for a while...
Brown will take part in debates 1:44pm on 30 Sep 2009 If the 'quantative easing' borrowing had put (say) £100 billion into UK based research into cancer it could have really been worth while... Instead Brown has p*ssed it up the wall just like he has the other billions...
Brown will take part in debates 1:41pm on 30 Sep 2009 He is just leaving options open.

If something goes really well for labour or something goes really bad for the others, Brown will be jumping up and down, insisting on an immediate debate... If things roll on as they are, he won't go anywhere near a live debate...
'Labour's lost it,' says the Sun 08:20am on 30 Sep 2009 Well labours media supporters are gradually realising the complete hopelessness of their position.

Really its just the BBC left as labour cheerleader...

However it is clear that labour are expecting you to end your labour bias soon (and become independent again) - they are preparing by spinning that you are already pro tory - ha ha ha.

The internet preserves peoples words for easy public reference, there will be questions to answer for many, many journalists.
Will he or won't he? 12:27pm on 29 Sep 2009 Brown does not have a decisive bone in his body.

This is part of his usual modus operandi -- he refuses to made a decision, so floats some ideas to see public reaction, changes his mind and gets back on the fence.

He never gets off the fence, he just dithers until the fence collapses and then continues from where ever he has happened to land...
Idelogical chasm? Tough sell 08:27am on 29 Sep 2009 Mandelson was indeed "intensely relaxed about people getting filthy rich" when it was him and his cronies who was getting "filthy rich".

Now they (Blair, Mandelson, Prescott, Brown etc) have their wealth, they are safe, and can turn (or pretend to turn) on those who only want to copy what they themselves have done...
