health care

so here's the dilemma how do we get health care to hard working American's, especially children, without trampling on our rights. now many of these people who don't have insurance, work and pay taxes, their taxes pay for other peoples benefits , like people on welfare and all those fat cats in congress, so there is an irony here. don't they also deserve benefits.i think this is more of an issue humanity than rights. i really wonder what the founders would think of this issue but since we can't dig them up and ask, its something we're going to have to figure out our selves. now its easy for people who have insurance to debate this issue and it seems like a conflict of interest that our congress will vote on this issue since they are owned by insurance companies thanks to good old lobbing. there is no incentive for a person who has benefits and receives "gifts" to vote in favor of health care. in a capitalistic system there is no sharing the wealth you either have it or you don't. another problem is that health insurance is a profit making industry also a conflict of interest.

i don't understand why this issue brings the worst out in people. the government is constantly stomping on our rights especially after September 11th. no one got this raving mad when the patriot act was passed. or when they started to randomly started checking peoples bags at the subway. how about when BUSH allowed the taping of phones. where was the passion then. you might think this was the government was protecting you but that would make you ignorant and you don't deserve to be free. no this isn't an issue of the government being in our lives this is an issue of compassion, of watching out for our fellow citizens,its a matter of humanity.
