    I can't afford to go to the dentist. I have not had a dentist appointment in 3 years because my meager "emergencies only" health insurance won't cover it.

    I need my wisdom teeth out super bad but that wont be happening anytime soon. Dental work is like a fucking luxury here; maybe you can afford some when you get your tax return but otherwise don't hold your breath.

    I'm sorry to hear that, but the wealthy should suffer because of those that cannot afford healthcare? That seems fair.

    Dentistry is kinda odd here, if you can get an NHS dentist you pay the first x amount depending on your income (£65 for me, so I'd have to pay for most work I end up having done, which is normally a check up every six months), so most people have some form of private cover (if they can afford it).

    Wait wait, suffer? We're not putting them in sweatshops to pay for healthcare, dude. All of them will still be wealthy. Maybe they wont be able to get that extra yacht this year but pardon me for not crying over it.

    How would the wealthy suffer? Even in UHC, the wealthy can normally purchase their own supplemental insurance, which should get them healthcare even quicker.

    Please do some research. You sound uninformed.
    We're cowpunchers and we're mean as hell.

    THAT EXTRA YACHT IS AMERICA.

    Clearly, cole, you don't understand how the tax system worked until Zombie Reagan became President. Go find out what the highest tax bracket was in the 70s, then come to the table.

    So the poor people should die just so the already rich can have a few more pennies in their pockets? That seems fair.
