Why can't more Americans stand together and demand better treatment from our government??

Question

I think that our fore fathers, our grandparents, and parents did not fight with blood sweat and tears, to see Americans going without healthcare and dental care. In the BILLIONS paid in taxes, and the BILLIONS sent out of this county for others, it is way past the time for a national health insurance that is the right of every American, living here in America. IT can be done, and should be done, if we quit electing politicians too busy making themselves and their friends and families rich, or richer, we need politician that again CARE and work for WE THE PEOPLE

Answer 1

The reason is very simple: We are a divided country. There are those who think that the government should take care of us, and there are those who think that it should be survival of the fittest and those are views that are irreconcilliable.

Yes, you're right. There is no reason why we shouldn't have free health care for every single American in the wealthiest country in the world, as it is in all other western countries. But until we can find a way to find a common ground among Americans, that's not going to happen.

Answer 2

You have NO right to free health care! You have an obligation to pay your fair share in taxes.

Nationalized health care has be tried in several countries and has failed or is currently failing. WHY in Heck would we want to take our GREAT health care system and flush it down the toilets?

There is a fix to make health care more affordable. Stop the lawsuits against Doctors and medical mal-practice when there was no mal-practice...

If a Doctor did everything he can do and something goes wrong, why do we sue the Doctor? Just for Insurance money? Who do you think actually pays for those lawsuits? The people who go to the Doctor is who.

Stop frivolous Lawsuits and you will fix the medical cost's, therefore not needing any forms of Nationalized Medical

Answer 3

You don't seem to understand what Rights are.

A Right is your natural state of being before government (or others) impose their will on you. In your natural state, you are free to defend yourself with whatever force is necessary, free to speak your mind, free to practice your religious beliefs, free to own what you create or earn...

Health care is not a Right. It may be a privilege, if we decide to infringe upon the Rights of others to take from them what is needed to create a national health care system. If feel you must demand that others give you what is rightfully theirs, please do so politely.

Please do not abuse the word 'Right'. That's a rather Leftist thing to do.

Answer 4

How can we expect politicians to care when American people don't care?

Answer 5

for the same reasons they don't vote.
