A Political Issue That Interests Me

I have a personal interest in the debate over health care reform. I realize most people are especially concerned with this issue as it is one of the largest debates facing our nation right now, but I take a personal interest in it because I plan to go into the medical field, so the outcome will someday very much affect my profession. I feel strongly against the idea that everyone should have the same health care policy regulated by the government. While it would be awesome if everyone in the U.S. could have access to, and could afford a health care plan, it just does not seem right that the people who work hard to afford to have their families covered by a good plan should have to help pay for someone who may not work as hard. Also I think it is important for people to be able to choose a health care plan that will best fit the specific needs of their family.

  1. This is interesting. I agree somewhat about how people shouldn't have to pay for other's health insurance, but I also think there should probably be some changes. If the government could give funding to businesses with employees without health insurance, it would solve much of the issue right there. True, there would be more taxes, but if it was ridiculously small and was distributed to everyone, I'd be ok with that.
