Health care attitudes – Us vs. Them
People (some people) keep saying that my vote in favor of 'universal health care' is simply me saying that I "want my neighbor to pay my way, instead of getting up and taking care of myself" (This is a quote from another thread.) My question is: Given that I do have my own health care solution, and given the whole "neighbor paying the way" thing, can you all please see that I am not voting for my neighbor to take care of me, I am voting, in fact, for the opportunity to help collectively pay for my neighbor!! I am willing, even eager, to contribute to a general fund and am even willing to wait a day or two for a doctor's appointment, if that means my neighbor who couldn't before can now also see that doctor. While we're at it, how come when we're all patriotic and stuff, it is "we the people," but when it comes to universal health care, it seems "The government" is some outside force, rather than "Of the people and by the people?" I am reminded of the joke at the University of Kansas - When the basketball team would win, "Yeah, WE won." When the team lost, "Boo, THEY lost!!" I am a very liberal, progressive voter. The Dems aren't liberal enough for me - And yet, When GW Bush was President, I called him 'President Bush.' When he enacted something I didn't like, I hoped it would work out , even if I believed it would not. When people called him a retard, I defended the man, pointing out that he was very smart, funny, and an apparently great father and husband. I did this because I believe in Democracy and love this country and it's system of government. My fellow citizens voted for Bush, and I respect our democracy, so I supported our President; as much as it pained me, I supported and defended him. I am sick from what I see on both sides, when Americans hope that America fails simply so that there will be egg on the face of the President they dislike. I'll say to the anti-Obama tea partiers just what I said to the liberals who did it with Bush, a phrase I learned growing up on Marine Corps bases: America, Love It Or Leave It!!! "Get your government hands off of my Medicare!!" - Seen on a sign at a Tea Party rally.
