This easily sums up why I love the federal system. Rather than debate on evenly torn issues on a national level, why not just let the states experiment them? With the advent of rapid transportation and telecommunications, moving to a different home is easier than ever so people can migrate to another home where laws are more favorable to them.Or maybe the better thing would be to reduce the power and scope of the federal government and allow the 50 states to become what they were originally intended to be - 50 separate experiments in democracy. For example, California could enact universal health care, and then those who didn't agree with that approach could move to another state. I think a "free market" of population migration would sort out fairly quickly what would be successful and what wouldn't.
However, that does not mean the government should not provide, at least, BASIC health care to the American people to where the point hospitals will not turn people in critical condition away due to lack of funds. That is plain morally wrong, religious or not, to not provide enough service so that people's lives can be protected. As stated in our friendly document:
which is arguably as important as the Constitution. This is where I derive my reasons for federal health care. The individualistic rhetoric is not even applicable here. That is like saying people deserve protection from the police and others not because they are homeless.Declaration of Independence said:We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
However, I am against FULL universal health care though because I believe, while health care is a right, that better services are more deserving to the people who worked for it. Food stamps was created to end starvation but if one wanted higher-quality food, they needed to make a income, for example. I would not give a gastric bypass surgery to a fat lazy bum over the person who actually earned some money. Also, monopolies are more beneficial if broken up (not saying all monopolies are bad, like the postal service, but partially privatizing them would be better for the market IMO. Economics are another major issue I wish not to divulge in here...)
There are many sources that guide my principles as I am an open-minded person. Though, there are three concepts that I believe are my strongest guide to my principles: Moderation, taking action, and unselfish individualism. Confucius, Buddha, and Ghandi are among my biggest influences as well.
