Well friends, the final presidential debate will take place this Wednesday night. Get ready for another round of back and forth between Obama and McCain. McCain will continue to show wisdom and courage when it comes to national security and Obama will continue to make promises of national health care. Oh what a great country we will be when everyone will have health care, but only those who work will pay for the health care. That's fair, right? Most of us have had "national" health care at some point. When we lived with our parents, they gave us an allowance, paid for our housing and paid for our health care. How many of us would want to move back in with our parents for the free health care? I love my parents dearly, but moving back in with them would cause my dad's beard to get greyer, my mom to take more cigarette breaks in the garage and myself to simply sit back and watch television while basking in the glory of my newly found free health care. That would be the life man!! And then, reality would set in. I would soon realize that I no longer had a job, my mom and dad were telling me when to be home and my dad was starting to lose his hair from his new debt of paying my health care. My parents would have assumed the role of the government under Barack Obama. They would, in essence, own my health. National Health Care is not a good idea friends. The only exception would be those citizens who are under the age of eighteen with parents that do not work. After your eighteenth birthday, you're on your own. If you really want everybody to have health care, then donate to charity. If you believe it's such a good idea, walk over to your neighbors house and knock on the door. When they answer, tell them that you want to start paying their health insurance bill. I'm sure they will thank you numerous times and you can go home knowing that you have done your part to ensure that one more household in the United States will be going to bed with health care. How many people that believe national health care is a good idea actually donate to charity? Ask them. After they go off on a ten minute tangent on why we never should have invaded Iraq, you will be suprised to find that many of them have never written one charitable check in their lives. They say that everybody deserves it, but when it comes to putting their money where their mouths are, the checkbook stays in the back pocket. Amazing isn't it? Saying one thing but doing something that totally goes against what you are preaching! Sounds like someone I will see on tv this Wednesday debating Senator McCain.
