Now besides my rambling. We just got back from Spain. A beautiful country with, according to our tour guide has, one of the worst unemployment rates in the world. How nice would it be to live in a world with great health care, supposedly the 7th best in the world and not have to pay for it cause you don't have a job. What kind of motivation is that to get a job. Now I'm sure quite a few of the unemployed are looking for a job and yes they do deserve coverage. However the ones who decide that they will just leach off all of the others is where the universal health care is flawed. I believe that the health care is what killed Spain's jobs.
So off this and a few other things that I believe to be true, like my pursuit of happiness does not involve me paying for you to be overweight and out of shape, health care is NOT a right. If it was it'd be in the constitution. Life just means that you can not impede on someone else's. Not That yours should constantly be healthy.
The sense of entitlement that our country has is wrong. I saw a political add attacking Gov. Romney because he doesn't give out free phones. Most pointless commercial ever. I had seen another that attacked him for not HUGGING his garbage man. Are you telling me we should get hugs for doing our job? Alright lets all get paid in hugs its a new stimulus package thanks Obama. Things like health care, phones, and hugs should be earned. You do not need any of them. But in todays society need vs want does not exist. Its only need.
Dave, I am on your side! I believe healthcare is a privlege why should I have to pay for someone else when it is hard enough to afford our own? My heart is torn though because, children really get the bad end of the stick if their parents are worthless. There should be a program for the kids who need it not the parents!
ReplyDeleteDave,
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed reading your blog. Need to incorporate the readings to support a position or to debate a position. Your opinion is important. But, you need to use the readings as you relate your opinions. Thanks.
Dave i really liked your facts about health care in other areas, it gave me a better idea of what life would be like with free health care, and it doesn't seem to be too good. I along with you and Katie think health care is a privilege.
ReplyDeleteDavid,
ReplyDeleteI really liked this blog and how your opinion was shown and you supported your opinion. I might be a little biased because I believe in the same opinion. I do agree with you on the fact that we should not have to pay for other peoples' way in life and that they should work for what they want. Good blog!!
