Answer 1

I agree with you. It is not government's responsibility. People should remember, in America anyway, that We the People ARE the government. There is no such thing as free money. We all pay for it. Now, in a spirit of wisdom, perhaps we the people have decided it would be in the interest of all Americans to provide basic health care for those who CANNOT help themselves. We don't want to leave people to die. But for the average American who just doesn't want to give up a shopping trip to the mall in order to pay for a doctor visit, I say too bad. What is your health worth to you? Spend a little money on it.

Hillary first presented her well being care plan whilst bill became into president and she or he became into the 1st female. She has been attempting for 15 years to get her bill exceeded yet can no longer get adequate democrats or republicans too help it. the seen wide-unfold well being Care is great (yet so is the elementary seen communism) yet her plan has been regarded at for 15 years by making use of democrats and republicans and no person feels it to be practicable. The plan will require anybody to get scientific coverage. people who do no longer may well be fined by making use of the government and have their wages related to pay for a coverage the government selects. She talks approximately making use of an identical elementary plan the federal workers have; I retired from federal civil provider and had their coverage for over thirty years. The coverage became into costing me notably much $600. a month and that they paid little or no. a lot of issues wee no longer coated and that i many times ended up paying the whole fee. It became into constantly a difficulty getting something out of the companies. Her plan will help the coverage firms and might earnings the very undesirable yet maximum folk won't earnings from it and the docs places of work and well being middle would be so crowed you will ought to stand in line. the terrific undertaking may well be to tension scientific expenses down, tension the coverage firms to do better with their rules, and allow better tax write offs on scientific expenses. for people who're in actual want of coverage, and anybody who finally ends up with fairly extreme claims, the government does need an stronger plan; Hillarie’s besides the fact that, in accordance to those that have studied it in the previous 15 years does not do the main suitable undertaking.

To equate a car to the quality of life granted by health care is pretty petty. Some people can be simply unable to afford health care.

Free medical aid eligibity can be set at such a low level that only the poorest of the poor have access to a (pretty bad) service. Also free medical access can act as a disincentive for people to take on a new or higher earning job because that little extra income will force them into a higher earning bracket (one which is still barely above subsistance) and so exempt them from free medical assistance.

It is generally only people who can comfortably afford their own health insurance policy that feel they dont want other people getting something for nothing, to be against universal health care (in my opinion) is a snobby bourgoise outlook.

Free health care can benefit society as a whole by seperating social barriers and aleviating social tensions.

While without doubt it means the richest in society will pay the biggest share, why shouldn't they when they probably depend on the minimum wage earners somewhere down the line for their fortune and quality of life (either directly or indirectly).

this is taking too long, im going to bed

Answer 4

Alot of people cannot afford health care.
Many companies cannot afford to provide health care insurance for their employees. And many that do are passing more costs on to their employees.
Costs are rising much faster than people's income and at double digit increases year over year.

Health Care is not optional-- when your're sick you don't have a choice about getting well.

The free market isn't working with health care and something has to be done to deal with the problem.

The gov does provide homes to many-- HUD, Housing Projects, Public Housing, Gov. backed loans, etc.

Pension and Retirement benefits by the gov were meant as insurance for various things-- we all pay into that system.

Some things go beyond simple personal responsibility-- The constitution says the gov. should provide for the "general welfare". If health care becomes so expensive nobody can afford to get sick, then we are failing to fulfill that aspect of the constituion.

I'm quite sure that those of you who hold these beliefs are well covered by some health care insurance provided to you by somebody else. I seriously doubt you people cover all your own health care costs.

The gov stepping in is simply a way to negotiate larger groups, economies of scale and some way to control costs.

Answer 5

If you are like most Americans, you are being taxed heavily on every precious dollar you earn. After years and years of paying taxes into programs designated for retirement and health care, why would you not expect to receive it? I believe in personal responsibility but I also believe in accountability from government. I want more control over how my money is being spent. Big corporate tax breaks and the incredible waste that occurs in government turns my stomach.

Answer 6

Its because of the vast difference between classes that is only growing larger each year. I heard a stat today that 20 percent of Americans bring in over 50 percent of the income. Therfore, the voice of the people will call for equal treatment. It America, the home of self help and betterment.

Go to school, make more money and you wont have to worry about it.

Answer 7

It comes down to luck. It's luck that determines whether you have the ability or the opportunity to make the money to pay for your basic human rights out of your own pocket.

It's not that the government "owe's you" anything, but that the society whose structure arbitrarily favours some members at the expense of others becomes a better society if there are some checks and balances in place to allow all of its members to enjoy a minimum standard of living that allows them to survive with dignity. That is one of the fundamental jobs of any government, and a characteristic of any society that would want to consider itself "civilised".

Answer 8

You obviously aren't near retirement, after working and paying taxes all you life. When your body starts to deteriorate and you can no longer work and the government is making billions off the elderly for medicine, you'll understand. Don't you have parents?
Do you think they should all just die and decrease the surplus population? Don't you see the elderly losing their homes and cars and all money just to stay alive, in this country of malignant materialism.

Answer 9

Weak argument! They do provide homes first off, it's called HUD and Fanny Mae. Secondly, the government's job is to protect society, and if the private sector isn't going to look after their employees (with health and dental plans) who will? Also, the government is corrupted by the HMO and BigPharma lobbying groups who use Uncle Sam to keep prices inflated.
Go study up.

Answer 10

Because the government takes a huge percentage of the money most people earn, and they feel that if they are paying into the system, they should get something back that actually benefits them.
