GOT HEALTH INSURANCE?

I guess politicians don't have more on their table in regard to the goings on or not goings on in their own districts. Things like crime or the substandard performance of some it's school districts apparently does not "move" them. Instead these politicians want to continue to find a way on how to bring a whole state to it's knees. For example, one state politician is joining the sensationalism of bringing everybody, who don't have health insurance, health insurance. And of course the question of who is going to flip the bill for the uninsured...We get the usual ahh ummm ahhhh the tax payers! and the businesses, big or small, with the knowledge that some don't give health benefits.

So the equation is that tax payers have to pay more taxes on top of the state taxes in which indigents and their children get checks and free medi-care. And businesses that have a low overhead, pay minimium wage and upon offering their potential employees a position within their company made it clear that health benefits or other benefits would not be available or the employee would have to pay out of their pocket for health benefits.

You know for some strange reason, I always thought that once you interviewed and asked to return for a probable additional interview, which is followed by a JOB OFFER from the employer, which during that JOB OFFER, you are offered to work for "X" amount of dollars and if any, benefits may be offered. YOU in turn, if not desparate, either have the option of negotiating for a few dollars more, which, if the employer is really really, I mean really interested in your talent and skills, would probably squeeze a couple dollars out their backside and give it to you and if you're satisfied with that offer...You either ACCEPT or TURN DOWN the OFFER. Now if your desparate, you obviously can't be choosey and you can't turn down any type of income to FEED YOUR FREAKING FAMILY or prevent someone from repo'ing your car in the middle of night..You do after all, have the option of accepting or declining the position. But if you do accept, and you are aware that the job does not pay for your medical benefits or additional benefits such as 401K...You are saying that your okay with that situation for now...

Now lets look at the for now, if you are unhappy with not having medical benefits and can't afford to pay for health insurance...You have the opportunity to look for something that does meet your needs....No one is holding a gun to your head or sitting on a horse with a whip in their hands forcing you to work in their company. However on the flip side, just because you uninsured, does not mean you are entitled to healthcare. The right to healthcare or a job is no where in the constitution.

We live in a capitalistic society that is unique in it's own...It's often imitated, but it hasn't been duplicated nor has anyone shown a better system.
