but not if it puts us out in anyway....Is this the message that the people who don't believe in free healthcare are trying to send?
I understand the personal responsiblity part, but if someone is working 2 jobs, 7 days a week, has a wife and 2 kids, can't afford healthcare and doesn't have a job that offeres it, how much more responsibility do you expect that person to take on? What is so bad about helping our neighbors? Doesn't helping them make us all stronger as a whole?

I don't see healthcare as a privlidge, I believe that we should all have a right to it. The poor can get it, the righ can afford it, but the working class in the middle are stuck; the people that pay the taxes so the poor can have it, and work for the rich so they can afford it.

"rich can afford it"

You're absolutely correct. Helping each other makes us stronger as a whole. I believe that we have so much untapped social intellectual capacity that we can use to solve some of these problems--like lack of health care for all etc.

There really are a lot of government resources if you make that little money.
Historically, Americans are a generous lot of people and we do help our neighbors.
Might rethink the two kids if I had to work two jobs, seven days a week and didn't have healthcare. But that decision has to be made before you have them.

I honestly think helping our neighbours is quite a major responcibility. It has it's benefits, one being that you'd never know when they'd be able to help you. and two you feel good about helping someone. But although it is good to help your neighbours you should also remember your priorities. ie. your family, your life... As for your neighbours, it might be wise, if you have the time that is, that you should help them, whether it's baby-sitting their kids, mowing their lawns or something small like that, it'd mean a lot to them.
