Paul Ryan and many other Republican leaders believe that it is a responsibility.  Actually Ryan also believes that government should only help the already well off – and that makes it worse.  But the ‘get government out of health care’ is really part of the move to get all social programs out of our laws.

Those who oppose this notion – some are Republicans – believe that health care at some level is a right.  How to make this work is a matter of discussion.  But to remove all support programs is not aligning with our values based on rights.

Most Americans believe health care is a right.  Most sick people believe health care is a right.

Recent published discussions act like the current law is ‘failing’ and only repeal will save us.  But that is crap.  The current law is constantly undermined because those in the majority want all health care programs gone.

So those who are not worried about Medicaid yet expect Medicare to be there for them are fooling themselves.  Don’t be surprised when you see aspects of weakening Medicare become part of tax reform.  This is the plan – and Social Security is next.

So where do you fall?

Don’t worry about how to get this done – American’s can collaborate on innovative solutions if they are aligned around a purpose.

Right or Responsibility?

Because if it is a right, it is a right.  It isn’t a right for some, or sometimes, or in some situations or some of the time.  It is a right.

Choose wisely

Because the political fight is on.  Like it or not, the current one-party controlled government is trying all they can do to take out the law known as ‘Obamacare’ and Medicare cuts and Social Security are next.

And only lots and lots of people coming forward, demanding this be personal and demanding that elected officials accept that health care is a right and that they need to figure out how to make it work – not remove it have stopped the law from being removed.

And that is only for now.

Because the leaders speak and act like those that did not vote for them do not count.  But more voted against them or not at all by lots then supported them.

This isn’t about winning or losing.

It is about our rights.

And rights that are not fought for are not retained because they are not valued.

Listen to the comments – not along party lines – but from the Right vs. Responsibility lens.

Ask your representatives which it is for them.  Take all stalls or non-answers as Responsibility.  If you believe it is a right, you don’t hesitate.

Where do  you stand?
