If everyone's point of view is valid, doesn't that make it wrong to impose yours?

Question

My problem with Mrs. Clinton is not that she wants to have universal health care - it's that she wants to make ME pay for it. If she wants to take the proceeds from her book deal, her cattle futures deal and all the donations her husband got from Tyson Foods and use THAT to pay for other people's medical bills, I have no problem with that.

Taking MY money and using it for that purpose isn't HAVING another point of view, it's IMPOSING her point of view - which fails to recognize the validity of MY point of view, which is that I'll pay my own medical bills and those of my children and nobody else's, thank you very much.

Answer 1

Voicing an opinion is not wrong.

Imposing it on others it.

That violates the basis of our rights "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness".

Answer 2

Well, I was going to respond to your top-level question, but now I guess I'll respond to your Details.

The majority of Americans support a health care system in which all Americans can receive health care -- and where the money spent goes to actual health care, not 80% to "plans" that drain money and provide no care and 500% profits for drug companies.

It's not a matter of Clinton imposing her will, but the majority of Americans getting what they want from the government they pay for.

Most Americans recognize that it is both unwise and cruel to allow people to suffer and die simply because they don't happen to have a few million dollars in the bank, or to become homeless because a family-member gets sick.

As for your top-level question, it simply isn't true that everyone's point of view is valid.

Those who believe, for instance, that the Earth is only a few thousands of years old are just wrong, as are those who say that Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11, or those who said smoking doesn't cause health problems, or those who say that those who disagree with Bush are terrorists who hate America.

The fact is, fewer and fewer employers cover health insurance, those that do pay less and less. Thus, fewer and fewer people can afford to pay for health care.

People suffer, get so bad they go to the emergency room (which is much more expensive for everyone, as well as involving needless suffering), pregnant women don't get pre-natal care that saves lives and improves the quality of life, kids don't get inoculated from contagious diseases, and on and on.

Most Americans, unlike you, don't feel "I've got mine, everyone who doesn't should suffer and die horrible deaths."

Don't get me wrong. I'm not a Clinton supporter -- she's been bought and paid for by big money and I hope she isn't our next president.

But nail her for her real flaws, not for advocating something that America needs and most Americans want.

Answer 3

I am especially bothered by her blatant pandering for votes again with the Universal Health Care issue. It is a small minority that does not currently have health insurance right now and a fair portion of those people choose not to(I'm not claiming poor families here people so unbunch your panties). Why does she think its OK to take the health insurance that I CHOSE and replace it with a health plan that is forced on me? Just ignore the fact that Government will screw it up as always. I already pay over $8000 per year to cover me and three kids. Do you think I will get the same level of care for a tax increase of no more than $8000 per year when you throw in the Government bureaucracy?

No thanks to Universal Health Care, I like what I have.

Answer 4

Take one step back. First, ask Hillary or any of the assorted and sordid lefties on here if there is any Constitutional legality for universal health care.

Is it Constitutional, like spending money on war is? War is one of the DUTIES of the government, per the Constitution. But if we look at the Constitution and the 10th Amendment, this clearly says that Federal universal health care is NOT Constitutional.

Any leftists care to challenge that claim? Come with facts. Emotion is for babies.

Answer 5

I like how people avoid the question by blaming bush and his war. For everyone who alread responded by blaming the war on iraq, maybe your the ones who needs to grow up.
Hilary Clinton is a hypocritical, lying, backstabbing b****h, but democrats won't admit it because that would be saying their political party has something wrong in it. Go figure...

Answer 6

definite, I certainly have examine a number of your solutions, and consider you each so often. i do no longer agree one hundred% everytime, yet you provide me nutrition for concept. I see valid factors in the two rep & dem solutions. each so often I certainly have examine issues on right here then researches it, and altered my innovations. I study plenty from all facets. good question i'm supplying you with a famous guy or woman! yet, I hate when I ask a query, and human beings are merciless it makes me offended.

Answer 7

Currently nearly 1/2 trillion dollars has been spent to referee a civil war in iraq and watch as our soldiers catch bullets so that halliburton can make a profit.

Compared to that number, socialized medicine would be a drop in the bucket.

Answer 8

I agre with you. I would be for Universal Health Care if you could do it witout rasing taxes, but don't see how that is possible. I think the idea is admirable. but it will be another strain on a system that is already broken. (Soc. Sec., Medicare, Etc)

Answer 9

You got it exactly right. And to those talking about the funding for the war in Iraq - our troops are over there protecting your right to be a coward, so yes, you DO have to pay for that.

Answer 10

Everyone's point of view is NOT valid. That is a fallacious, illogical impossibility.

Hillary is just plain wrong.
