You’re All WRONG on Healthcare
And, yes, I’m going to tell you why. Also, it’s mostly the Democrats who are wrong, but I’ve heard my fair share of Republicans that are messed up on the issue as well.
First. Let’s get something straight. Every single American has access to healthcare. Any one of us can walk into any Emergency Room and receive healthcare irregardless of our ability to pay. Will they ask you to pay? Probably. But they’ll still treat you first. So, quit trying to use that silly argument.
Second. Those of us with insurance or money to pay for our healthcare will likely receive better treatment. It’s a reality in every single capitalist economy. Free = lesser. Sorry, but that’s the way it works. If you don’t like it, get a job that offers insurance. And if you do have insurance? Quit going to the doctor so darn often. I firmly believe that you are capable of treating your own splinters.
Third. You do NOT have a right to health insurance. Affordable health insurance? Yes. But, expect your affordable health insurance to not cover as much as the “Cadillac” plans do. This goes back to the Free = Lesser argument. The quality of something (In this case, what it covers and how much it pays) is directly relational to how much you pay for it. If I can afford a health insurance plan that has a premium of $4000 a month, I can expect it to pay everything. If I’m only paying $400 a month, I cannot.
To recap: Health Care does not equal Health Insurance. You do not really have a right to either. What you do have the right to is the “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”. None of those three things can be construed as meaning health insurance or health care. Very simply, I cannot take your Life from you. I cannot take your Liberty from you, and I cannot keep you from pursuing happiness. Period. Stop trying to give it meaning that doesn’t exist, or I’ll start doing the same. Did I mention that I can make a very good argument for my pursuit of happiness being ruined by people who don’t do what I tell them to?
The more liberally you take these things, the more liberties you’ll give us to use them against you later. You keep saying it, and maybe it’s true, but we conservatives are a warring bunch and when we are not allowed to war with our real enemies, we’ll naturally turn on our domestic ones.
Finally, you all are acting like a bunch of children. You aren’t getting your way, so you’re trying to find ways to break the rules without getting caught and to bend the rest of them so that you’re stuff gets pushed through. Grow up already.
