It's almost like .. universal healthcare would make our economy stronger and the insurance companies are the leaches..

Some people don't want universal health care because they don't want their taxes going towards other people's health care. What they seem to fail to understand is that the exact same thing happens with private health insurance, and some of the money goes towards the insurance company's profits. Universal health care would make things cheaper.

No, they don't want people who don't "contribute" to benefit off THEIR money!

What if... GASP, an ILLEGAL would benefit off their money???? Because you know, those illegals are just on all the gov files and they can strode into places and say "giv me moneyz" and we can't do anything about it!

It's purely down to not wanting to help others below them. Irony is not part of their vocabulary.

Oh damn,

time for a trip to the US Treasury!

I'm an illegal as soon as I overstay my visa, right?

Apparently no one is 100% sure whether bloodsucking worms were named after doctors that used them, or doctors were named after the blood sucking worms that they commonly prescribed.

"Leech" being an old timey name for a medical doctor, possibly predating the term "doctor" which just came from "teacher" like "doctrine" or something.
