The biggest reason I’m against a government take over of healthcare is that it is guaranteed to get too expensive after a number of years, so they will either have to raise taxes, or they will have to start rationing healthcare to only the people who “need” it. The government will also have to start passing laws restricting our rights to do things that are unhealthy so that hopefully there will not be as many Americans getting sick. Or the government might decide to start increasing taxes drastically on unhealthy activities so that even if Americans don’t stop doing those things, the additional tax money can be used to pay for some of the out of control costs of guaranteed health insurance.
There is not a logical person alive on the planet who will dispute what I have stated in the above paragraph. The best argument a logical democrat can give as a rebuttal, is to say it is more important for Americans to have guaranteed health insurance than for Americans to have the right to do any unhealthy thing they want to do. Well, that is really nice that nanny government wants to take care of all of us helpless full grown adults who live in the wealthiest country on the planet. But I thought the whole purpose of being raised by your parents for 18 years and then finally becoming an adult, was that after 18 long years of learning how to be responsible for your own actions, you are supposed to actually be responsible for your own actions. Isn’t that what it means to be an adult? For crying out loud!
I’m so sick and tired of the power structure in Washington DC acting like the adults in the United States of America are not smart enough to make their own choices. Some of the choices we make as adults are good choices and some of them are not. If I’m living on a limited budget, I might choose to pay for health insurance, or I might use that same money to buy a couple boxes of premium cigars. But either way it should be MY CHOICE! Nobody gets to live forever. Everybody is going to die. It is a guarantee that you are going to die someday regardless of how “good” the choices are that you make. So why in the hell can’t the Nanny Government just step out of the bloody way and let us make our own bloody choices? Mandatory Health Insurance???? What the hell!!!!!!! I might not want any bloody healthcare. I might just want to smoke cigars until I die. I’m a full grown adult, so that should be my choice without Nanny Government stepping into the picture and telling me that a full grown adult in the United States of America is not authorized to make his own choices. What is the point of being free if I am not allowed to make my own choices? I don’t care if things turn out better in the end before I inevitably die anyway. I want to be able to make my own good or bad choices before I die. I don’t want the government to regulate my “unhealthy” activities any more than they already are. I would rather take my own chances with healthcare and have the right to do what ever the hell I want to do with my own life.
