    micmac got a reaction from Holly2234 in The Healthcare Bill   
    A lot of people here talk about being christian and stuff but then when it comes to stuff like this they are horrified. Jesus was all about helping the poor. He practiced the "you can't take it with you" mentality. I see people on comments sections on news articles all the time complaining about the prospect of paying for other people's ailments.
    Having looked at my husband's paycheque I wouldn't say he was paying that much of a difference on health insurance v national insurance. And National insurance pays for everyone. So where is the insurance money going? Some rich guy's pocket.
    I personally would rather everyone was given affordable care than have to pay co-pays on top of insurance to be seen maybe all of an hour before I would have been on the NHS at instacare. I'd rather wait the extra hour and have money for other things.
    When it comes to the insurance mandate it maybe isn't fair to make everyone pay but considering a lot of democrats wanted single payer you have to wonder if it was the republicans influence. Especially considering romneycare is similar.

    I am talking people raking back hundreds of years. Robert the Bruce lived in the 13th century! And I would not expect my grand children even to tell people they were Scottish. They would have one Scottish grandparent. That's it! My children will be half Scottish. I think being American is cool enough on its own without having to tell everyone where your ancestors came from. I don't mind people wanting to know about their heritage. But when people who have got Scotland in there somewhere centuries back tell me that they themselves are Scottish it annoys me!

    It doesn't upset me, it is just mildly irritating. There is more to Scotland than kilts, Braveheart and whiskey. Haha.
