Do you believe that the poor without health insurance should be allowed to simply suffer and die?

I personally believe in healthcare for all, but I am interested in hearing from those who believe that those without health insurance should just be gone to suffer and die.

    Hell no! America has the healthcare system of a third-world country... It's ridiculous! However, I asked my friend (who's anti-universal healthcare) and he said that if they don't work hard like the rest of us to pay for their insurance, they're a burden to society and SHOULD be allowed to die. Unbelievable.

    DOH - nobody suffers - they go the ER where they cannot be refused treatment - and then don't pay

    so we, who have money, have our bills raised to cover their costs

    it has been proven that the $5/hr day immigrant laborer actually receives $30k annually including benies

    remember, when they file their measly little amount for 1040's - they get EIC (earned income credit)

    cause it's so low - they can make equal to what they reported + ER care + school for their kids

    loved Jimmy Carter - extended Soc sec benies to senior citizen immigrants who had not paid the

    first PENNY into the system - and they get more than people who have worked 40 years

    my fav phrase in the 60's was "America - Love it or leave it!"

    after the next election, when I see what the real mood of the USA is -

    I may pick option 2

    God Bless America

    I believe the marketplace should decide who gets treatment. If you can't afford it, too bad. I want the market to act as death panel!
