Do you agree with George Bushs daughter Barbara regarding Health Care Reform?
Conservatives think they can decide who gets good health care. If you can afford it, good for you if you cannot, then good luck. What they do not understand is that not all poor people are on welfare. When they word poor is used some people people think “welfare”, In a society, we all cannot be rich, If one cannot afford health-care, that does not equate being a “loser” but some reasons, Conservatives think that way. Conservative “foot soldiers” do not get this, but most middle class working americans are 2 or 3 paycheck from being poor. Most of them live in an illusion.
No where in the world are hospitals, prescription drugs, and medical screenings as expensive as they are in the US. But even places where medical care and treatment is cheaper, universal health care is usually offered to all citizens. The middle class in the US is shrinking rapidly and the numbers of uninsured Americans have skyrocketed in the past 20 years because the average income wages has a difficult time enough paying mortgage, utilities, and other payments while wages have been cut by inflation. Insurance for health care is rarely offered to low income wage earners and buying individual care is astronomical, so much so that 40% of Americans are now without it.. In the US, money buys good health, poverty offers a short life.
No. Health care is not a right. That is a blatantly absurd notion. The only way the government can give or provide something to 1 citizen is by taking it from another. That is a violation of our Constitution and basic human rights. Bush’s domestic policy was not conservative (No child left behind, Rx drugs, etc.) and was a total disaster. Looks like his daughters did not learn from his mistakes.
Yes, exactly. The United States is the only industrialized country in the world that does not consider health care an essential right of its citizens. Even tiny, impoverished Cuba is able to provide quality care to all of its citizens regardless of their financial situation. So yes, I’m glad the bill was passed, but I don’t think it goes nearly far enough.
