The USA was the very first nation founded on this planet with a government by the people and for the people. In other words, this is the first country in which each individual shares the power that was once concentrated to an elite group, a king or other such form of rule.
To insure that each individual maintained the power that was once held by a king, capitalism was adopted as the economic system. Capitalism is individual ownership and control of wealth. Every other system, including socialism, the ownership and control of wealth is ceded to the state.
Socialism is just an extension of feudalism. Instead of a king controlling the wealth of the nation, a committee controls the wealth of the nation.
In both socialism and feudalism, the common man is allowed to advance in life only as far as the state permits. In both of these systems common people are not allowed to acquire personal wealth beyond which the state deems possible.
Once you cede power to the state to provide your individual personal needs, like healthcare, you have lost your freedom.
Listen to Hillary Clinton speak. She is touting socialism in this country. In each of her speeches, she states she want to tax the rich, create a huge government program, and provide socialized medicine. Think this thru. She wants to cap the wealth individuals can acquire. She was to be able to coerce or control your life by giving you free services. How do you think these free services will work out?
Look at the Social Security system. Every benefit SS people get is dictated by a committee. People on Social Security receive only the return that a committee sees fit. Limits are placed on the incomes of SS receivers. They are forced to live on a fix income or lose the benefits. And, if you decide to keep working because you can't live on SS, you must keep paying into the system even if you don't get any benefits.
Americans don't get free healthcare because Americans love freedom and liberty.
Think about this also. Why create a huge department of the government that will cost hundreds of millions of dollars to administer a national healthcare system? Why not just require every American to get coverage on their own? Creating a healthcare department is like you hiring someone to come to your house every morning to brush your teeth for you. Why pay for the adnimistrative expense of something you can take care of on your own?
