If my house floods, should my neighbors be forced to pay to fix the damages?

What if my car hits a tree and I am not covered?

What is the difference between those and me getting sick?

My mother is a taxpayer. I am a taxpayer...I pay over 1 thousand dollars per month in income taxes and our money is being used to invade iraq and Afganisthan.

The U.S is the only developed country that has NO UNIVERSAL healthcare.

Canada, New zealand, Australia, and the European Union have universal healthcare.

Why can´t we adopt the health care systems of other prosperous developed nations? it is obvious that our system doesn´t work.

This is what Bush started 8 years ago.

Now my neighbor's son, who's about to graduate from high school next June, can't even get much student assistance for college due to the fact that banks are not even lending very much for student loans.

Who started this trouble for the current high school generation?
