Free health care for all... really?


Do we really want universal health care for all right now? Is it worth it? Better question would be, can we afford it right now? As of this post, our national US deficit for 2010 is going to be $3.6 Trillion dollars. The debt as of right now is at $1.75 Trillion. That sounds like a very big number huh? Well you divide the $1.75 Trillion by 300 Million Americans and you see that every American owes approximately $5,833.33. That number is estimated to double next year if President Obama doesn't trim spending. So if we take those numbers into account and look further at Universal Health Care, which is estimated to cost us around $800 Billion conservatively, do we have a right to make more welfare programs and expand the power of our government?

Do we really? Our government got us into this mess, and now they claim that the free market screwed up. They claim the only way to fix the problem with health care is to pass this large bill. But does that make any sense people? Does it really? How can the government who cannot control its spending, is going to control the costs of the health care program? Who are we chumps? Are the American people idiots? No, were not. Only our politicians think that we are idiots and that we need to be taken care of.
