Is healthcare a right ........
What is the biggest argument in the debate for healthcare for all Americans? Some say the quality healthcare is not a right, and that just because someone is an American they should not have access to the best healthcare possable if they cannot afford it. What individual who needs a heart for their child, or specialized surgery for a spouse, would not sell everything they have to provide the money necessary for this care. If you are rich, or have insurance, then this is not a concern. Yes, your insurance may have life time limits, but you at least can get the access. Many Americans do not have access, are treated inferior, are sent from doctors offices and hospitals without the medications, and care they need to survive. It is time that the greatest country on earth supplies equal care for all its citizens......liberty and healtcare for all.

The ironic thing about this whole debate is that those opose to equal health care will donate millions of dollars to probono doctors. These doctors travel over seas to provide free health care to the needy. Many a time I have seen churches and doctor's offices donate unused and expired medicine to these causes. But yet our own people don't deserve it? Fellow Americans don't deserve our generosity? Something is wrong with this picture. We must ban together for the greater good of everyone.
One of the moral threads within the fabric of our country is that everyone is "endowed by their creator with certain enalienable rights", and the first is "life". We have a need in our country to ensure life and health just as in other countrys we defend and protect. Its time to take care of home before we start spending Billions overseas helping others.
