Basic Healthcare. Should it be a right or not?
One of the questions that everybodys been asking is should all americans have a right to basic health care? I looked further into the subject asked our presidential candidates of their opinion.
President Obama's Opinion
We asked presidnt obama what he thinks and he said " It should be a right for every american in a country as wealthy as ours (http://2012election.procon.org/view.source-summary-chart.php)
Symbolism of Health Care
Mitt Romney Opinion
"...Taxpayers are picking up hundreds of millions of dollars of costs from people who are free riders..." (http://2012election.procon.org/view.source-summary-chart.php)
Pro's and Con's
Should taxpayers have to pay for those who don't have healthcare?
There are many pros and cons of having medical insurance
Pro's are, no more medical bankruptcies and everybody would be able to pay for their doctors and bills
Con's are, everybody would be paid less
In my opinion presidential candidate Mitt Romney is correct because, not everybody is an American, and its not right for taxpayers to pay for those free riders who don't have medical insurance.
