MCCAIN AND EVERYONE LIKE HIM!

I still want to know why the groups that get affordable or free health insurance don't think it is fair to level the playing field for everyone? There are millions of social security recipients, congressmen/women, and so forth that get health insurance that they can either afford or is given to them at no charge. I don't think that health insurance can be free but I do think it should be affordable and provide care that is humane and doesn't make people chose between going to the doctor and seeking timely care or waiting until the situation is out of control and going to a public hospital and sticking us all with a tab of thousands of dollars when an office vist for $60 and some medication could have prevented the emergency room visit. Why can't the GOP see that they are hurting us because they were too busy trying to cut down a man that was smart enough to give American a picutre of what we should and could be with some work. Our President is not always right, but he's made some decisions that in the long run will benefit us even if we can't see the whole picture now. We as a nation are suppose to be the leaders of the free world yet we lag behind in education and in healthcare because we see red anytime we think that we have to give up something even if we're not sure exactly what it is. I love America. I love the fact that my ancestors came over and helped establish freedom and democracy for all, but I think they would be ashamed to know that we have the ability to take the innate goodwill for ll we all have a citizens of this country by turning our backs on our neighbors who may need a helping hand. No one wants their life dictated by the masses, but if we don't stop worrying about the small things then we destroy everything we as citizens value about our country. What happened to community? What happened to safe neighborhoods and quality of life? We have de-evolved from a nation into mere individuals in a race of the survival of the fittest, and this is wrong, so very wrong!
