The Captivity of Healthcare

This post is in response to Jame's post.

     Although it may be tragic that 45 million are uninsured residents, I disagree with you.  You assert that it is unfair for some to be denied a doctor’s visit.  You are right to say it is unfair, but unfortunately life is not fair.  Ultimately, perfect fairness is the absence of freedom.  If everyone received the same wages, had universal health care, wore the same cloths, and ate the same food, America would be a perfectly fair society.  Nevertheless, it would be void of freedom.  Completely fair societies have been attempted in Russia and Cuba.  However, they have demonstrated the truth in George Orwell’s famous statement from The Animal Farm that says “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”  Human nature prevents enforcers of fairness from remaining equal to their subjects.  For example, all Americans will eventually be forced to buy universal healthcare under ObamaCare except for the members of Congress.  If ObamaCare is so wonderful, why is congress not forced to buy it as well?
     I claim it is unfair that I do not own an ipad like my neighbor, because I do not have the funds.  However, just because it is unfair does not mean that I deserve an ipad or any convenience. You say “Everyone deserves to get help when they really need it.”  I disagree.  First of all who is everyone? Americans, residents, all people? If a terrorist needs health care in America should we give it to him?  What about a citizen running from the law? Secondly,  the right of people to get healthcare is not in the Bill or Rights.  We do not deserve help for the same reason we do not deserve ipads.  This does not mean that the people in need should not receive help.  These people need assistance, but not through the government.  Individuals, charities, and churches are better suited to support these families in need.
