the cost may be forgiven? really? how does that work? Magic pixi dust that makes the cost go away? No since its the real world, that cost is passed on to others..But I see you have come up with the great idea of just saying, well if your not needy pay for it...because the DR will have time to figure out your income level you lay dieing of a heart attack...and well since you just say pay for it...it will be done! Its magic! here sir...pay us 45,000...even if you can't work right now becuse of it...and other expenses that go with your surgery and health....
And as for your stupid , don't need to eat 5 lard samwitches a day...outsides showing your compleat ingnorance for the fact that people who eat healthy..still get sick...Do you want health care to also be based on your diet? Your dieing , and the DR should check your income to make sure you can pay for it, then ask about your diet?
Also what about Cancer? Liver Problems? Kidney failure?
"The average cost of a 30 day cancer drug prescription was more than $1,600 in 2006"

So you think someone making 50,000 a year...is going to be able to pay
$20,000 a year...just for the drugs, not counting all other costs...and that you may not even be able to work anymore, or far less for a long period of time while you deal with it...so you made 50,000 past tense...not make....
Wait no...I know...the mystical fairy will pay for it.....not everyone else right? or do you advocate that the person just die for lack of money to pay for it?
You don't want goverment to have anything to do with your health care, and you don't want it to cost you anything...yet you support having to pay for people who choose not to get covererage...and for a Medical system that tells you how you must live your life in order to have your cost covered....
