@MrBrownstone If that's the case...ONLY those who pay taxes have a right to healthcare.........why does every 1%'er in the U.S. have healthcare?? For the most part they...and the companies the own..don't pay a dime in taxes. Look up what GE..for instance...pays in taxes every year. NOT ONE DIME......and their yearly revenues are never less than $1 trillion a year in corporate profits. Look it up.

@MrBrownstone I understand you obviously have anger management issues. And I also understand that under equal rights and civil rights laws no one can be turned away from healthcare regardless of if they pay taxes or not. UNDERSTAND THAT?
