Rights

Americans are given the right to freedom of choice. We have the choice to decide what we think is best whether it be what you want for dinner or how you want things to be done. We all have a say. However, The Health Care Reform will slowly start taking away rights from Americans. Limiting our choice and forcing those who don't want health care to get it, puts us at the mercy of our government. Our constitution gives us the freedom. That is the idea this country was founded on. We get to choose our own religion and how we live our lives so why should the government step in and take over. Giving them more rights, just take away from ours.
Everyone thinks that we should have the right to freedom; however, some people don't see this issue as the government taking away anything important. They think it will help those people without health insurance, which it very well may. But they overlook the issue of everyone else. What about the people who don't want it? What about the people who are happy with their own health care? what about the people who can't afford to pay the fee that will be imposed if they choose not to take advantage of the government option? All these things and more are being overlooked. It would be wonderful if we could help everyone with everything, but people need to start being responsible for themselves. Obviously, there are times when help is needed, which i totally understand, but those who take advantage of the government and abuse the rights they give us are causing everyone who does things how they are supposed to to suffer.
