There are people who don't want to work to pay for your police force. If you want one then buy a bodyguard or two from a private firm. If your kids get shot in the street.... your own fault.
I don't live in the ghetto. No one shoots kids or anyone else in the street where I live. As a matter of fact I've never had to call the police for any reason in my life. Usually we sleep with the doors unlocked and the windows open where I live. People are too lazy to steal where I live. The are either holed up in their trailer making bathtub crank or out on a tractor on their farm. Those crankers only leave their trailer park to go buy more supplies.
I don't know any doctors right now except for the ones I visit. I had an ex that was a doctor and I know he had a hard time finding a job.

I think health should obviously be a given as previously stated. It should be free - people have a right to life, it's not always your fault when you can't afford to pay for your own health.

People have a right to life and doctors also have a right to be paid for their services. I could care less what happens to third world countries. If I lived in one then I'd care. They need to work out their own issues on their own. If those people can't get their heads straight and work out their kinks then whatever. It's not everone elses place to baby sit those people in third world countries. There are no other sides to this story. You have people who can't afford medical care and people who can and that's life. It's not fair to reward irresponsible behavior by giving people free things. They need to get a savings account to prepare for a rainy day. Cancer costs money. Most people even the rich people can't afford cancer treatments. Well....that's life. Crap happens and we can't go increasing taxes to pay for this stuff. If they increase taxes to pay for medical insurance then people can do all of the irresponsible things they want and they know they won't have to pay for it. Lung cancer, diabetes, heart disease, skin cancer, and asthma plagues my state. Just about everyone I know is fat and just about everyone I know over the age of fifty has a heart problem, is a diabetic or smokes. Some of those things can be prevented by exercising and taking care of yourself. The taxpayers of Kentucky should not be responsible for caring for an over weight person with a heart problem due to their obesity when they have no other medical condition that makes them fat and sick. A lot of the lazy people who already don't care about themselves will just say "Oh well...the government will pay for it so who cares I'll eat another bag of chips". A lot of you aren't from America. We are full of lazy fat people who will milk any system for all it's worth!!!
