Health Care vs. Freedom

Health care, health care, health care.  I’m getting a bit tired of this debate over what to do about health care in America.  The problem is that everybody in Washington seems to think the government needs to provide the answer.

More government is not the answer.  Freedom is the answer.

Those who support this legislation have convinced people that it is their right to be treated by a doctor.  They have convinced people that this legislation will lower costs.  They have convinced people that this “reform” will not lower the quality or the availability of medical care.  They have convinced people that the government can effectively run a health care program that won’t lose money or require higher taxes.

They want to force insurance companies to cover preexisting conditions.  They want to tell me the minimum acceptable level of health insurance for my family.  They want to convince me that they know better than me on how to provide for my family.  They don’t know better.

I want to be free.

I want to be free to provide for my family and not be forced to provide for yours.  I want to be free to find an insurance company that will compete for my business.  I want to have decisions on my health care be between me and my doctor.  I just want freedom.

So I’m tired of this continuous health care debate. You may feel the same way.  But let us not forget that this is not an issue over being insured versus being uninsured.  This issue is an issue of slavery versus freedom.

Let’s keep battling back against those in Washington who would rob us of our freedom.  Let us fight for freedom with absolute determination, never giving up, and always pressing forward.  Defeating this attack on personal freedom will be worth every bit of effort it takes.  In every instance, in every situation, freedom is worth fighting for.

May we never forget that truth, and may we always be free.
