Actually, those rights are fairly recent given the time frame of mankind and civilization. Just over 150 years ago, people were allowed to own slaves within the United States borders. But, you see, we as a society evolved and saw how wicked it was to own another person, and to deny people basic rights under the law based on color, religion, sex and sexuality. The human race is supposed to progress every generation for the better, and now due to our progression we are seeing more equal rights for every person in the United States.
Healthcare, in my opinion is another basic right. Everyone deserves the right to live and to be treated with affordable healthcare. That is where this bill comes in; it grants people this right. It’s not a universal system as seen in other countries; but, it’s a start. And you can’t say that it will cause harm to the country and we will lose jobs because of this bill. Look at Germany for instance, they have socialized medicine and they are an economic powerhouse.
In the end we are going to have dissenting opinions and that’s how it’s going to be. You won’t be able to change my mind and vice versa.
