Why do I support Universal Healthcare paid for with our taxes?
Because I don't want to live in a country where people have to set up a GoFundMe page just so they don't die.
Clever? Yes. Pithy? Certainly. A good idea? Absolutely not! The big issue I have with this is freedom. With a GoFundMe page, that person needs to convince people to voluntarily part with their money. People are free to participate or not. With Universal Healthcare, freedom is gone. You don't get to pick and choose GoFundMe pages, you fund them all. If you don't, armed men from the government will take all your assets. If you continue in your non-participating ways, you may find yourself in prison. Of course, the vast majority will just submit; that is how we have come so far from what the Constitution actually says.
What happened with the Affordable Care Act? I thought that was supposed to solve everything? I was going to get to keep my doctor. My family of four was going to save $2500 a year. No, premiums have skyrocketed and GoFundMe pages are multiplying. Every time the government steps in to solve the problem, it gets worse! And it isn't government's fault! How does that work? How about we expel the government from the healthcare system and see how it shakes out?
