How about this: let's do away with those meters that measure how much electricity you use and just split the total cost of electricity up between everyone. That way, it wouldn't matter how much electricity you use, your bill would be the same as everyone else's. Better yet, we could add it to your income taxes, so your electric bill would depend on your income bracket. That way all those rich fuckers would have to pay more and poor people like you and me wouldn't get screwed just for being poor. Electricity is one of those things that we absolutely need, so everyone should be able to use as much of it as they want. It's a human right.
And we should do the same thing for our telephone bills. We need our phones these days, so everyone should have a right to telephone service whether they can afford it or not. Same deal: the bill could be added to your income taxes, so your phone bill would depend on how much money you make and not how much you use your phone.
And hey, while we're at it, why don't we do the same thing for health care? Wouldn't that be great? That way no one would ever have to worry about eating right or exercising or lifestyle related diseases like lung cancer or AIDS. You could live your life exactly as you liked without worrying about the consequences because your health care wouldn't cost you anything.
Wanna eat nothing but lard and sit on your ass watching TV all your life? No problem--just get a triple bypass. It won't cost you a thing. And when you get old and are about to die they can keep you alive with really expensive machines so you can spend a few extra months with your grandkids no matter how much it costs because it'll actually be free! Well, not exactly free, but the cost will be added to everyone else's income taxes so it will be almost like getting it for free.
Fuckin A: universal health coverage--what a great idea!

You went from idealist hippie to idiot douchebag in 1 whole paragraph. This is comedy?
I want my 27 seconds back.

Actually, it took three paragraphs. But who's counting?

The "subtle" racism of the picture makes me ache for the ability to give -3.
Idiot.

The picture of a black man makes me sad that health care is available to everybody.

Why didn't I think of this?

The fact that Americans do NOT have universal health care and are still the fattest fucks on the planet speaks volumes about the accuracy of your argument.
You, sir, are hereby ordered to break your leg in one of the following countries:
France, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, the United Kingdom, or Canada.
See how much vitriol you have left about universal health care after that, shit-for-brains.

you don't know what the fuck you are talking about. your ignorance pisses me off in ways i could never have imagined.

That only goes to show your lack of imagination. But hey, maybe they can prescribe a pill for that (lack of imagination, that is). I'm sure your doctor will be only too happy to prescribe it for you. After all, he's getting all expenses paid trips to the Bahamas to attend "seminars" by the pharmaceutical companies who dream up such pills. And while the mean old insurance companies might balk at paying for your imagination pills, the inevitable state-run universal health care system will be only too happy to tax me to pay for them. Fuck you!
