Why?

Why is healthcare not a right?

Why is it a right to bare arms yet if you are wounded by a gun you don’t have the right to healthcare to save your life.

Why is it that conservatives fight for the rights of the unborn yet refuse to provide the right of healthcare for that same child after its birth?

Why are we turning our citizens away from taking life saving medications because they do not have the money to pay for their medications?

Why are we forcing our seniors to cut there medications and take half doses because of the high cost of prescription drugs?

Why is socialized healthcare ok for seniors with Medicare and for veterans through the V.A., yet it is not ok to come up with some type of public option for the millions of hard working Americans whose employers do not offer affordable healthcare insurance to their employees?

Why is it we can afford to kill people in foreign wars but we cannot afford to save lives here at home?

Why do we hide our heads in the sands and deny that our healthcare system is broken?
