I hope to hell anyone who wants one can get it regardless of their financial or legal status.

Anything different would be kind of self defeating. Wouldn't it be?

1. Vaccinations are not a major factor in healthcare costs
they're fairly cheap and generally made available to anyone.

I think the concern was covering expensive, non-contagious ailments.

Broken legs and coronaries don't tend to spread.

2. True, but any asshole that sits on his brain
would never think of that.

3. Republicans
Like they give a damn about anyone besides themselves; they're incapable of empathy.

4. Who wouldn`t treat a person with a broken bone or burst appendix??
Are American`s refused health care in other countries? Hell, bill Mexico if you want, but I don`t see how you can refuse treatment to people who NEED it. Do you just toss them out in the street and hope they`ll die quickly (so no one has to watch it). Yes, my "liberal bleeding heart" weeps for these people, who are so willingly used and abused by big ag interests.

5. The GOP.
Freepers.

The religious right.

Teabaggers.

Idiots.

Mental cases.



Oh, OK, so now I'll stop with the redundancy. ;-)
