Health care is not a right. Period.
Government laws to force individuals to do what is (arguably good for them) is not supporting personal responsibility.
The government is the primary reason that the cost of health care and health insurance is so high.
The government has destroyed any resemblance to free market in delivery of health care products. It has ruined health care and now the solution is to force individuals to purchase “insurance” against their will.
People that overeat are irresponsible. Ipso facto it is the government’s right to force them to eat less. Better yet, do as the Brits are doing, deny fat people access to doctors. Yeah, I have a lot of faith that the government should be the final arbitrator of what is good for me (and you).
You want to see a doctor? Better make sure your refrigerator is ready for inspection by your betters.
LOL....I just READ your statement.....birds of a feather, I guess!!!
Romney relaxed mandates on Health Insurance carriers and agrees with you that government should not be in the medical care business — reason why subsidizing the cost of private health insurance premiums (who are far better suited to combat fraud and abuse) is the only viable aternative to the out of control costs associated with bailing out hospitals every year.
Of course the bailing out hospitals aspect is always absent in the attacks on Romney’s health care reform act. It’s a mystery.
