Why is it that no one talks about responsibility when we talk about healthcare?

These two videos were posted online and I just could not let them pass by without posting them to show the depths to which those who are trying to fundamentally transform America will sink to try to enlist support for a health care overhaul that has nothing to do with actually making health care better or more affordable for the working people of this country. I am also amazed that we hear about these 47 million, no 30 million, no 16 million people who do not have health care, but yet no one mentions that any of these destitute people can go to an emergency room and be treated. For????? Nothing! Because of federal laws that require a hospital emergency room to treat a person who presents themselves at that emergency room.

So when politicians say X number of people don't have health insurance. But why is it they don't have health insurance? Some do not have health insurance because they choose not to have it, but you don't ever hear politicians talk about these people. All we hear about is how insurance is too expensive and the poor can't afford health insurance. But, look around, do they smoke? Drink? What kind of car do they drive? What kind of TV do they have and do they have cable tv or satellite? What kind of cellphone do they carry? No one wants to ask these questions because they are afraid the culture police will come after them.

But you know what, the sad fact is, nearly every person that falls onto this list the government has for the uninsured has a flat screen, drives a late model car, has a cellphone, and has either cable tv or satellite tv. There are those that will say you can't tell them they can't have those things! And those people would be correct, I cannot tell them they cannot have those things. However, what I can tell them is that I am not going to pay for their health care insurance, while they continue to enjoy the vices of the culture. I pay for my health insurance through my employer and I pay my bills for my car, tv, and cellphone. So if I pay for mine, why should I have to help pay for someone else's? I mean if they can afford to drive a nice car, have a cellphone, flat screen tv, and cable or satellite tv, why can't they pay for their health care?

The answer is simply this, because for nearly 60 years the federal government has convinced a large segment of the American population that they will take care of their every need. Well after so long of making promises the government hasn't been able to pay for. It is now time for the piper to be paid. We cannot afford to pay for everyone's health care. We can't, nor should we. It is time that personal responsibility return to our shores and maybe just maybe, there is still time for us to save ourselves from the leviathan that is our federal government.
