Seriously. Have you noticed how Americans are smart, all-around good people, but taxpayers are greedy little pigs? Personally, I hate them all, but politicians seem to reiterate these key differences.
This post isn't about that, though. It's about health care. And it has an article:
http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=OTg0M2RjYjRlMGU0MTRjNWUxZTkwODQ1NWE3OTc2Yjg=
In the article, the author examines whether or not health care is a right. After reading it, i called BJ and asked her what she thought, and she said it was. But I'm going to disagree. In my opinion, health care is not a right, and it should not be centralized through the government. Of course, I also disapprove of social security and 401k's, so maybe I'm not the person to talk to.
To me, universal health care highlights the irresponsibility of Americans. Much like 401k's, it shows how we are reluctant to take responsibility for our own lives. When I asked my mo why she had a 401k, she answered "Because I don't trust myself to save money." I know that social security (switching gears) was created during the Depression because the elderly ha no money and all, but I don't really care. If people aren't responsible enough to protect their own future, then they can pay the consequences.
I'm a cold, apathetic bitch, though, and Americans are irresponsible losers. So go universal health care!
Yes, I realize I didn't really talk about why I don't like the idea of universal health care, and i went on a tangent about social seurity. Basically, people that choose a certain job should get over themselves and stop whining about benefits. I don't care.
Also, feel free to argue with me. Because anyone else's argument is probably way better than mine :)
This is why I should (or shouldn't?) be president.

P.S. I just found out my uncle is a democrat! Yay!
P.S.S. I just got back from Arkansas, land of the hicks, so I'll be ranting for the next few posts. AKA no "I Love"s for a while.

Aw, I would have gotten really into it, but you don't really seem to care. When you think of rights, I think of a law that says that when a person does the housework for a rich woman, that's totally not okay. We're humans and evolved as we are, we get into sticky situations; thus healthcare is uber vital. I wouldn't really count it has something that's up there with not being treated like a thing with no ... feelings? More like that with the way our world is today, so many diseases and crap you need healthcare as much as you want a heater in your house in the winter. You're screwed if you don't have money and if we didn't have healthcare, well just picture a kindergarten class without a teacher. Yeah, I'd be sick too. I'm not going to spellcheck and crap. I spent 10 stupid minutes rewriting what I was gonna say, so no more of that bizzniss. Rantings fun though.
