    Non-profits are allowed to turn a profit. There isn't anything against it. What a non-profit cannot do is structure in a manner to maximize profit. Essentially, you can make money (as you have to pay the employees) but instead of a 10% markup, you just aim for like 2%.

    The issue is not whether or not government does it. The issue is whether or not government SHOULD do it.

    No he's obligated to pay taxes because he lives in the US. How the government spends its money is another issue. He's not paying for poor people. The government is paying for poor people.

    Time to provide some sources to show that people receiving government health care don't pay taxes.

    Can't wait for you to provide a whole heaping pile of nothing.

    if you're turning a profit, then you are not non-profit.

    And employee expenses are deducted before a profit is announced. Any profit is already after the money needed for the company to continue to operate has already been taken out

    That it obviously doesn't is the issue.
    Don't give me that self-righteous bullshit, you fucking hypocrite. You're spending money on an internet connection so you can spend time on the internet high atop your human dignity high horse, time and money that could be used, regardless of any other work or financial contributions you make, for the good of people worse off than you.

    And after all that, your "affordable" health care act still won't be.
    The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that removes the awareness of other possibilities.

    I'm thinking this was their plan to begin with they designed Obama care to fail but it will be to late they will already have a vast amount dependent on Obama care just like they did with welfare and food stamps that they will have to go to socialized medicine

    You mean this? http://www.usdebtclock.org take a look at the income tax payers and compare it to the total population. Good game sir.

    Just because he agrees with taxes going to public healthcare doesn't mean he is a hypocrite for not donating his entire life to helping the less fortunate. Bad argument.

    None of which would happen if the hospital had the option to say "no", instead of being forced by government to use THEIR collective resources at great cost to themselves. And yes, people would die. People who have no entitlement to the resources or efforts of others to keep them alive.

    You seem to be mistaking your own concept of a non-profit for reality. The law is not your friend in this case.

    The "republicans" who fought to end slavery also waged a war to assert the dominance of the federal government over the states. This just in, parties change.

    Its not about whatever or not they pay taxes. The issue lies with expanses rising to the point that the nation has to BORROW on top of high taxes which eventually results in...wait for it... MORE TAXES

    Republicans fought hard to end slavery and Jim Crow so they could deport all black people back to Africa because America was a white nation.

    Which is a whole nother level of bullshit. I can't take a black shirt and call it white and have it magically be white. If a company is non-profit, then it should be non-fucking-profit
