why should you care about what anyone else receives or doesn't receive? it works the same way right now with your private insurer. you pay your premiums for services. but you dont pay the actual costs to either treat you and provide care. if your insurer provides abortion or IVF you actually do already pay for others to receive these services. that is how insurance works. taxes work the same way. they pay for schools, parks and roads. should i then be able to tell the government that i dont want any of my money going to those departments because i am not using or benefiting from them? as long as you have an affordable premium, care is readily available what difference does it make?
Great point. This should be enough to cancel any arguement from the other side, but it is about freedom of choice for them. The catch is that it is a choice right now, to have or not have health insurance, only to those who have enough money to be able to make that choice. For many, they have no choice, because they have not enough money to pay for the insane costs of private healthcare, so, people are left without healtchare, and it should be everybody's right to be able to go to the hospital when they are sick. That is the point of this whole thing, to look out for the little guy, and statistically, what is it...%40 of the nation holds %90 of the wealth? That alone is a disgusting statistic, yet it means that there are so many people who simply can't afford healthcare for themselves or their family if they are not employed in this tough times or simply can't afford it. That is the real crime. Statistically, a higher proportion of those in poverty are 'minorities'- hispanic, African-American, etc... Whites, historically and currently, are the majority of those with the majority of the money, because that is how our country was 'brought up,' and whites simply want to extend that tradition to retain that money. It is not about honor. It IS about 'restoring tradition,' or actually, 'keeping the money in the hands of the whites and away from the minorities' although they would never admit that, because people like Tea-Partiers would not acknowledge, admit, or are even aware of that. Hence, they are inherently racist, yet are surprised when they hear that because they are not aware of the implications of their own beliefs and views.
