Socialism, socialism is all I hear from the know--nothing party. Or is it parties (Republican & Tea Party)? My neighbor on the north side is single, I am a family of two and my neighbor to the south includes 6. We all pay the same amount for trash collection. Of course, the family of 6 produces (especially with diapers!) more garbage. But we all pay the same! And school taxes are not based on the number of children a family has in the educational system. Nor are my county taxes based on my use of services. Yes, we need those who will access the health care system less often and likely have less expensive needs. But, to think the young don't need health insurance is simply a denial of reality (something applied by Republican/Tea Party "type" people to global warming, etc.). Young women get pregnant, young people deal with various diseases, and accidents happen too. Healtth insurance is needed by all. Those with good health and good genes, are needed to share the costs. If the sharing of health costs is socialism, well so too is trash collection and many other community expenses! I can't believe we are having this elementary discussion. We are a community and all participate by paying often above their personnal needs. I wish we could offer reality deniers a pill to overcome their anti-tribe, anti-life participation.
