I’ve compiled a list of the questions that I have concerning this healthcare plan. I was hoping to get some answers in the comments:

• My first question is free, really? Don’t they need to raise taxes a ridiculous amount for this to work? So, we end up paying for healthcare anyway, but in this case we’re paying for a crappy version of what we have now.
• If the government can’t do anything right (IRS, Social Security, fix the economy, etc.) why would we think that they could improve our healthcare? NOTE: I’m not kidding. I do try to look at issues from other viewpoints than mine, but I can’t see how anyone could think differently on this one. Seriously, If you have a decent answer let me know in the comments.
• Why on earth would the United States of America want to demote it’s healthcare? There are people who have to come over here from Canada because they can’t get the treatment they need in their country to save their lives. Don’t believe me? Go ahead and Google “Lindsay McCreith.”
• Want healthcare to be a right? Good because it already is.

Anybody ever ask you to explain or define a right?  You may know what it is, but have you ever tried to tell somebody what it is?  “A right is not a guarantee that the government (i.e., other people) will provide you something for free.” A right does not come because the government grants it.  “We have the right to engage in religious expression, but that doesn’t mean that the government pays for the construction of the church.  We have the right to peacefully assemble, but the government doesn’t promise to supply your transportation,” to get you there unless you’re Obama and have ACORN.

Here’s an idea. Let’s not ruin the best healthcare system in the world. Let’s keep it the way it is.
