I'm curious why those of you who are pro socialized healthcare assume poorer people are incapable. Do they not have access to free education? I paid my own way through college by working full time to go to a reasonably pricey school at the University of Florida. Paid the whole thing myself working an entry level job. And there are much cheaper options. Is a person from a poorer background than I not capable of doing this? I'm just curious why there's this vision that poor people somehow have no chance or opportunity to better themselves in this country as though they're stupid and useless. When you see a person of meager standing do you simply assume they can't do better? Do you pass them off as lost causes? Do you think their children have no chance? To me, if you're going to offer somebody free healthcare, you're taking away their dignity. You're robbing them of the human condition. My view is simply tough love. Your kids don't grow strong because you spoil them. They don't learn indepedance if you do things for them. You have to instill people with the will to succeed and make themselves better, not take it away by babying them as though they're helpless children. I believe in everybody, and I believe everybody is strong and capable.
