It is humane to help someone that is sick and in need of care. No one likes to be sick, injured, hurt- we all want a speedy recovery to get better. If the government was looking after us, cause we elect them into office, we would have universal health and dental insurance, and big business bailouts would be out of the question. During my businesses slow months, no one picks up my tab. If my business started to go under cause the government wouldn’t just give me a bonus plus capital and tell me better luck next time. You don’t lend money that you don’t have to lend. They lend money that doesn’t even exist. They have us sign a contract for a loan and we owe the money as if it were in our hands… they profit from the interest on our loan, and we go into debt… debt cause we pay all kinds of tax, and we pick up the tab for the people that can’t afford as much as we can… I am broke, in need of health insurance… I fall just between the lines of having to much for state health coverage for my kids and being able to actually afford it myself.

I don’t, I don’t think anyone has a right to take my money so they can get free Viagra or any other treatment. They can take care of themselves and pay their own bills real Americans do.

For all those reasons. Plus, no society can call itself civilized if millions of children don’t have access to proper health care.

Not only is it being payed by the taxpayers, it is also being paid by those that do have insurance.
