Our government cannot afford to do what it has already committed to do. It cannot afford Medicare which is unsustainable and is doomed. We (the government) cannot afford to take over care for everyone else without robbing and plundering our future as a nation. To continue on this course of overspending and overpromising will bring our nation to certain ruin.
Life can be brutal, and there are many who suffer and many who may die who could be spare for a while if someone else could bail them out...but this should be via free will charity and not the pillaged goods of others taken by force in the name of taxes, penalties and fees. Such is basically armed robbery. It is also unconstitutional because it is not in the spriit of the general welfare to do for others what they should do for themselves.
The role of government must be limited to doing what individuals cannot do for themselves such as delivering the mail and defending the shores. Providing and managing and controlling how, where, when and at what price health care is obtained should be left in the hands of private individuals. If it is out of control it is because the government has already entered into the arena by way of Medicare. Medicare was a mistake from the beginning and should be eliminated. We either have to go back to living true principles or we will fall of our own accord.
