NO.  Right to life does not equate to free health care. Just as pursuit of happiness does not mean that it is the governments job to ensure your happiness.

you know why I WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO RUN OUR HEALTHCARE? because they manage other things so well like look at all the profit they make at the post office!!!!!!!!!!

How I miss this great man.

[MissD7998]

I am floored at how prophetic this is everyone democrat or republican should hear this.

@Eggyrocks1 Congress tripled the debt, The president really has no say in it. Democrats always had a strong grip on congress during his presidency.

[scumpyjack1]

@phoenixbornagain wake up where have you been..the Government does not run the Post office, they failed at it and it is priviate!

[Eggyrocks1]

This is the man who tripled the national debit in less than a decade. Why would anybody take his opinions with credibility?

@EswareinKrieg No person under capitalism is a slave. You have those who tried and suceeded and those who didn't. Or those who chose to not try at all, who feel enslaved, but are truly only held down by their lack of initiative. The beauty of America is that anyone can make it and you don't need the government to tell you how it's done. There are literally millions of self made millionaires in this country, more than anywhere else that I know of on Earth.

I thought America emphasized equality of oportunity, not equality of results. Since the puritans we have worked hard and thus were characterized by our strong work ethic and strong individualism, as well as LIBERTY. LIBERTY is the most important thing- an innate right given to all. I thought America faught for everyone's freedoms, and allowed for all to succeed. Allowing all to succeed doesn't mean everyone will be successful and to attain success one has to work arduosly, and that is that.

Ronald Reagan proven wrong again by history. Nothing else to say, except, did you hear Ron Paul at the debate going after Ronald for talking a good story, but not delivering. Ha, Ha... So much for what Ronald says.

And even after the 2010 elections, Obama stands behind Obamacare and even said last weekend that he does not mind the term "Obamacare" when referring to the socialism based plan. And music123prod, our country was based on Capitalism, it is a plan that gives everyone the right to move forward and work hard. You just want it all handed to you by the hard working people.

[EswareinKrieg]

@music123prod you mean like the current capitalist slavery? So you mean to tell me everyone in Europe is a slave? Or do they have far more liberty than us North Americans? Socialism still allows privatism, it isn't communism so in the end, truly only an idiot(or one of the few, you know the leaders-the rich) would want capitalism.
