paycheck until he/she pays back the taxpayers if they have to go the hospital? must pay us back with no bankruptcy protection? maybe the gop would like this idea? I think it might not be a bad alternative
Why does it seem like every illegal immigrant I see is getting their health care costs covered by our government and taxpayers (Medicaid), yet the country’s citizens are going bankrupt because they can’t afford to pay their medical bills, and then 40 million of them are uninsured?
Ok to shorten the question, why is it so easy for illegal immigrants to get Medicaid, but there are tons of requirements Americans have to meet before they can get it?
I work in a pharmacy, I see it every day.

How many illegal immigrants do you know? Because my half-brother’s dad is one and I know for a fact that he doesn’t pay income taxes, yet he gets free health care and free legal representation. Is that fair? No.

"The 0 billion bailout for Wall Street, is driven by fear not fact. This is too much money in too a short a time going to too few people while too many questions remain unanswered.
Why aren’t we having hearings on the plan we have just received? Why aren’t we questioning the underlying premise of the need for a bailout with taxpayers’ money? Why have we not considered any alternatives other than to give 0 billion to Wall Street? Why aren’t we asking Wall Street to clean up its own mess? Why aren’t we passing new laws to stop the speculation, which triggered this? Why aren’t we putting up new regulatory structures to protect investors? How do we even value the 0 billion in toxic assets?
Why aren’t we helping homeowners directly with their debt burden? Why aren’t we helping American families faced with bankruptcy. Why aren’t we reducing debt for Main Street instead of Wall Street? Isn’t it time for fundamental change in our debt based monetary system, so we can free ourselves from the manipulation of the Federal Reserve and the banks? Is this the United States Congress or the board of directors of Goldman Sachs? Wall Street is a place of bears and bulls. It is not smart to force taxpayers to dance with bears or to follow closely behind the bulls."
jeremy: Yeah, that’s a good speech, too!
Seeing as to how Obamacare is heavily debated and let’s be honest the GOP haven’t put a viable alternative so what are your thoughts on some reform
What should be the main goal of health reform in the US, should it Decrease the cost of health care, Improve the quality of health care, Improve the access to health care or make most Americans receive at least basic free public care. What would it be like for the US if an Australian system like the Medicare service is implemented where all taxpayers pay a 1.5% income tax levy (with exceptions for low-income earners), an additional levy of 1% is imposed on high-income earners without private health insurance. There is also a private health system where people pay for health insurance to go to a private hospital if they wish for quicker service. Bankruptcies from lack of funds to pay for medical bills is the largest reason for personal bankruptcies in the US accounting for over 60 % of all bankruptcies, while in Australia it is almost negligible.

So what do you guys think?
Where do all of the debts go when a person files for bankruptcy? Do the people who are owed money absorb the unpaid debt, or is that left up to taxpayers?
The Mortgage Bankers of America used this strategy to skim off the cream and leave the details of all the worthless paper for the taxpayers to pay. No accident.
