| Tyhe government is the peoples money, not other peoples money. The coffers are not made up of entirely property and income taxes. We are taxed on everything. It is a few who actually do not pay a penny at all for their entire lives. While there are those who abuse the system, you do not penalize those who do not. You tighten up the system so it does not get abused. Our government obviously does not want to tighten it up or they would have already.
It is our government's responsibility to look after the safety of it's people. We have law enforcement and the military as part of that. The government holds us responsible for the welfare and safety of our children. You have to put your child in school, which is why it is paid for by the government. If you do not take care of your child's health you are also responsible. If the government is going to hold you responsible it has to give you the resources in which to do it. Hell, they are banning smoking because of concern for the health of it's people so they already dictate what to do.
I do not think all healthcare should be the responsibility of the government but it is in the government's best interest to have a healthy population. If my child had cancer and I could in no way afford to pay for treatment.......should my child die or suffer? Should I suffer or die? Should you? It is not like our government can't afford it.
