i don't think it's the governments job to provide health care. i don't think it's the govts job to provide many of the things it provides already. but states have turned over much of what they used to, or should provide now, to the feds as they don't want to foot the bill. so then the federal govt gets far more bloated then it should be. it's not a federal issue. but then, social security, medicare, medicaid, etc shouldn't be either.
people want to keep talking about the health ins problem when in fact those who can't afford coverage are already eligible for medicare or medicaid. the trick is that many who CAN afford coverage, don't want to afford it. they want the 'govt' to foot the bill. but the 'govt' doesn't foot the bill, we do. i pay for my own yet still pay for so many others...now my bill should get that much bigger?

i don't believe it is the govts job to take care of us. i don't want the govt in my life to that extent. i want them involved in my life, and my pocketbook, as little as possible.
