Can you imagine what your auto insurance would cost if you made a claim every time you got a flat or a tune up ?
Or what your home owners insurance would cost if you made a claim every time a light bulb burned out or you wanted your carpet cleaned [...]]]></description>

<p>Maybe that&#8217;s the reason medical insurance premiums are so high ?</p>

<p>Okay&#8230;&#8230;..since when did &#8220;promoting the general welfare&#8221; go beyond roads, infrastructure, and basic public services, and start including social security retirement?  Unemployment compensation?  And now nationalized medical insurance?</p>

<div><em><strong>bluechristy</strong> asked: </em></p>
<p>I know Republicans are so dead set against Universal Health care . People with out medical care will certainly spread disease  with out even knowing it . Poor working class people who can not afford Medical insurance will certainly go to work with the flu or risk losing their income . People who work at restaurants drive a cab or work at a grocery store (who handle money BTW )  seldom have health INS. This is how the flu spreads so quickly.<br />
