When are we going to realize in this country, that as a nation, we need
to shed our belief that capitalism is good.
I hope never. Capitalism, for all its evil people, is what has made our country so strong.
I am not in favor of a national healthcare system simply because I don't like Uncle Sam to say what I can and cannot do in regards to my medical choices. My concern is that once the government is footing our heathcare costs, we must eat, drink, and use only meds that they think is good for us. We then become more like property than individuals, having less say-so over our conditions that we ever have before. At least as it is, if we don't like what one physician says we can look to another to confirm or disclaim the first's answers. If we are in some national medical database, and I assume we are more that I think, tied together by computers, the second physician will know exactly what our first answer was and, in saving time, give the same one.We need to focus more on the common welfare, for our future.
Issues of common welfare become accepted when it is recognized that their results strengthen our systems. I am in favor of a national health care system because a healthy populace is a more productive society. Much potential production is lost due to sickness or weakness. I also believe crime is related to non-productivity.
