Which One Is More Important Food Or Health Care  |
| |
|  Health care might be great but if you do not have any food to eat you are going to die from starvation. We speak of this need for a government provided health care of some sort, well why not food stamps for every one. Since we apparently need Medicaid available to every one, why not have food stamps available to everyone. How well do you think that system would work if government feed everyone? So how exactly would a government provided health care system work any better?
Obama likes to speak about this public option stuff where you can have the option to stay on the health insurance that you currently pay for, or you could join a Medicaid which government i.e taxpayers will pay for. Well let us make a public option grocery store system. You can continue to pay for your groceries at a for profit grocery chain or you can receive free groceries at a government grocery store. What would happen, well we all know what would happen, the public option would drive the private sector out of business.

| |  I agree that the system of public health insurance that the government is developing will not be perfect. But I think that it's important that they're trying, because a lot of people in this nation really do need health care and can't afford it. I also think that they should be focusing more efforts on food programs, because as much as we don't like to admit it, there are people starving in America. But no program developed by any government has ever been perfect.

| | On the topic of starving American, a homeless guy starving decides to relieve is problems by eat a box of rat poisoning. Give him credit, his is trying. The man will be dead but we can all say he tried his best.
With myself in control of every aspect of my life a failure only affects myself, yet with government fails everyone fails. So with government provided health care when government makes a mistake everyone suffers. | | | |

| |  That was a really good post to put things in perspective. Why stop with food? There are a number of things more important than medical care in order to live.
My Wish List for President Obama
1. Government provided food
2. Government provided water (Those of us in rural areas have private wells that are drilled by dreaded private companies).
3. Government provided heat (private oil companies = satan)
4. Government provided housing.
5. Government provided transportation (Amtrack stops on every street)
6. Government provided jobs (or at least a paycheck every week)
7. Government provided phone service
8. Government provided clothing
9. Government provided television (so we can see Pres. Obama)
Once all of these major needs are met than I am looking for:
10. Government provided healthcare
I do not think this is asking too much and since Pres. Obama is not like the others and he really cares, I am sure we can get it.

| |  Well we have food stamps, and the government provides funds to impoverished areas to pay utilitiy bills through state or county offices. Section 8 and HUD for housing, our county has a program to fix older cars to get them up to snuff for low income families where at least one parent works. And we all remember the HD change over being postponed due to the government running out of vouchers for the much needed and can't live without...converter boxes. Not just an Obama thing, is it? He's just refining it for our grandkids.

| | I think I will just pass and buy or work for my own things instead of government providing all of that stuff. Well if government is going to provide one service what would be next? | | | |

| | Did anyone ever question WHY the government was handing out free converter boxes for the switch to HD...was no one as creeped out by this as me? Everyone I ask just acts like it was nothing big or weird. Like we all just HAVE to have tv to survive? Any thoughts on this? | | | |

| | The handing out of converter boxes is something I do not find suspicious. Congress can wreck the economy, destroy U.S. energy production, and mortgage the future of the economy without most voters batting an eye. But if AARP voters had woke up on the HD conversion day without a free converter box to watch Matlock, they would thrown all the bums out of congress. What I did find amusing was that the original HD conversion date was placed at a point about as far away from congressional elections as possible. Coincidence? I think naught. | | | |

Just a thought. | | | |

| | Socialism at it's best. What will motivate people to keep up the struggle to care for their families and their selves?...and what will happen when government starts deciding who gets the heart medicine and who doesn't. ??? I already see that the insurance companies can dictate to the doctors what treatment options are going to be used....how much more so when the government beaurocrats get their hands into it. | | | | | | |

| | Governments will always have limited resources, because government is limited to only what tax revenue get can generate. At some point government must ration what resources it has at its disposal. So if government is handling health care health care will have to be rationed. As to my question about food, so to would that have to be rationed. Free creates over consumption since their is not any regulation of price. | | | |

| |  Have you read somewhere that this healthcare will be free? To answer your question, my brother-in-law would rather have health care than food since he can't eat with what's left of his throat swollen up and, even if he could swallow, he's in pain.
Here's another parallel that you might be interested in. Here in Florida we have a state homeowner's insurance program for folks who can't get conventional insurance. One of my properties is covered under a commercial carrier and the other is covered by a state policy. Can you tell me what is wrong with that? I pay permiums for both policies...the state sponsored one is not free. What makes you think that government sponsored health insurance is going to be free?

| |  for me among these two, it will be food which is more important.nobody can live without food. First it should be ensured that citizens get food to eat. Health care is also needed. But it comes after.

| |  I think that both are important. It is hard to extinguish whether one is more important than the other, because without any one of those 2, you will die. So there could not be a conclusion to this discussion.

| |  While health care is important, food is far more important. Like you say, if you don't eat, you die. I have not had health insurance since I left Arizona because, while I qualified for medicaid there, I do not here. I was on foodstamps for a while when I got here, but after I started back to school, they said I could only get it if I worked 20 hours a weak and I haven't been able to find a steady job. So I don't know how I will survive. I know if I don't eat well, my health will eventually fail and I can't afford to get sick. I wish that the government would get its act together. This situation is enough to make me want to move to France or somewhere they provide free health care. Have a great day!!!

| |  Exactly right!
It is not the job of the government to provide anything for anyone... and it never has been.
These communists who want us to be like the European Socialists should just move to Europe instead of trying to destroy our country with their unworkable and insane ideology.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, or free healthcare, or free anything.
