casual stories

There are numerous stories that can be told about this issue. There could be one supporting the reform that talks about a single mother who cannot support her family let alone pay for health care. There are also the stories of people coming to America illegally just to take advantage of the benefits of our health care system. As I've talked about in the past weeks, I agree with the second option. I know a lady who lost her husband a few years ago and has no other family except for the two kids she is raising on her own. She worked hard in life to be able to pay for everything she needed to like health care which payed off because a year ago she got sick with cancer. Because she was smart with her money and saved when she could, she was able to get through those hard times. These are the types of people our government should be helping. The ones who have worked hard and did all they could but maybe still need some help financially. However, our government sees that as unfair when they decide to help the citizens who need it and not all the residents that do. Just because you live in America, does not mean you get all the benefits. To get the benefits, you have to be a citizen, paying into health care, medicare, medicaid, and so on. Not all people see it like this but they should. In case people didn't realize, this country has a huge debt that needs to be paid off. This will never happen if we are constently paying for members of other countries' health care.
