Sounds like the Glenn Beck version to me.

Is there an informed American here who can tell me whether, under health care reform, services will be paid for up front and subsidised later for those with incomes deemed low? Or will that be dealt with ahead of time, ensuring when people visit the doctor or hospital, they don't need to fuss about potential bills?

I love public health care. I love recieving it. I love working for it. I'm even happy to pay taxes for it. It helps care for the rest of the country and is a whole lot cheaper for me than having to pay up-front for the services I require. I don't imagine my family ever would have recovered financially from the dent all those years of treatment and medicine and aparatuses to manage my respiration as a baby would have costed. I don't think any family should have to go through having a sick baby/child, but I dislike the idea of them being expected to pay for it even more.

If anyone tried to collect, you'd see alot of itchy fingers on the nuclear launch buttons...

Am I the only person who's really fucking tired of this attitude from Americans?
