I always thought …
I always thought house insurance would cover you for a fire destroying your house. The federal government does not run the volunteer fire company and does not manage health insurance-this is a state function based on state laws and in all of this, the government stick it to the states in this health care plan. So when my state controls healthcare-less money for infastructure and decent schools who also run our public schools.

On Medicare and …
On Medicare and social security-in about 2080, these two programs will be 84% of the budget where today it is about 13%. This will see a liability(what we would have to borrow to pay this over 100 trillion dollars in 2080. All this talk of profit when most see taxing 37% just to pay these programs in 2080. Perhaps the inefficiency of governemnt in this area is because they dxo not pay enough for administration

@davijeph you said …
@davijeph you said “not if your in it at the time” which im guessing was about fire insurance, and i don’t know about you but my home insurance covers all fires so long as i did not burn the house down intentionally. But otherwise they cover me.

Did anyone ever …
Did anyone ever hear the quote that, “The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” And yes I know the US passed the Healthcare reform bill (Universal healthcare reform) and people will tell me to stop complaining and get over it. But the thing is in this country the US a majority did not want it the way it was. So it will hopefully be altered after the november elections. Also look at the tax rates for countries with this kind of healthcare, pretty high.

Sorry I was being a …
Sorry I was being a little sarcastic I don’t have a “company” in the sense you mean.I have my own private home and contents insurance true but “fire insurance”, as in paying for a private fire service? Please tell me you are kidding. I like all UK citizens pay for professional run service out of tax like our tax based NHS it works.In the US you pay less in general taxation but pay out far more than we do covering things like health care and it seems fire insurance.
