It's How You View It!


There are many ways to flip and turn the Obama health care plan.  One side of people says it’s not good while the other side is saying it is.  Here is what people are saying about it.  On one end of the spectrum are the people that can’t afford it.  Who work many hours and after all the bills and food that have to be bought to serve, there is not much left over to purchase health care.  There is just Medicare that is available and they can only be seen by doctors that accept it.  You also have the people who don’t want to work hard, that take advantage of food stamps and welfare, convincing themselves that they are entitled to everything, using the money in every wrong way.   So where do you draw the line for this?  How do u decide who really deserves free health care.  On the other end of the spectrum you have hard working people who are able to purchase health care, although at the same time having to pay higher taxes in order to cover for others who are unfortunate.  I feel as though people who have to cover for others won’t mind so much as long as people that are less fortunate are paying their dues and working just as hard.   I try to look at the big picture of this all and that is you are going to have more people who are not willing to put in the work as for people who are.  Ultimately that is going to have a domino effect because people are going to see that the other person right next to them is doing nothing while getting the same benefits as me.   So than the country will be losing out on more money and having to tax people of higher income a greater amount.  I would agree with everyone having health care, I just don’t thinks it’s fair to have to put more pressure on someone else who is already working hard to support their family and life style, now making them support other people who could make it easier who don’t.  I love supporting organizations and helping people who are in need but that ends up becoming harder to do when so much is put on me to have to take care of.  There are more and more responsibilities that have to be taken care of because priorities are left astray believing that someone is going to walk up and do it for them.  I guess ultimately you have to come to a point in your decision and say what would I really do if I was really in that persons spot of a higher income, would I want to be put under that pressure due to the lack of laziness or should they reap what they sow?  The world is not fair and it will always be like that but one thing can be fair and that is people holding their own, having to work hard.

  1. Ugh, your opinions on health care really make me cringe. It's not as simple as "some people want to work and others don't." I think most people will work if given the opportunity. The problem is that even if they work, often they just don't have access to coverage. So expanding healthcare to more of the population is good for insurance companies, it's good for people (even if they think they aren't going to be affected by a medical emergency... trust me, you will be affected,) and it's good for the country, which hasn't been able to manage the shadows in the system at all. Seriously, not to be rude, but TURN OFF FOX NEWS! It's screwing up your ability to rationally process this.
