Health Care should be my Generation’s issue – but it is not

Health care is such a hot potato to begin with. First off,the Public Option that everyone speaks so highly of is NOT a public option. If I have healthcare through a major insurance company,is it fair to me to subsidize anyone who doesn't have the means to get the same quality of healthcare as myself? NO! The public option will be just another"tax",like Social Security,that the greedy politicians will rob over and over again. It's America stood up to it's government and shouted"NO! I will NOT have you in my life from the time I am born to the time that I die!!!!". I'm all for socialism......if you live in Germany or any other avante garde European country. This is AMERICA. If I want to help my fellow neighbor,that's up to me. I'll be damned if I'm going to be forced,through taxation,to help my neighbors. Here's a great example of Corporate Welfare and socialism mixing with one another-My roommates and I have been looking for a house for about 7 months. I found a house that had just come on the market last week and my roommate and I went to go look at it. It wasn't anything special but at this point,a cardboard box would be an improvement. He called his realtor and asked if he overbid on this house and won,and it was appraised at below his bid,would he have to pay the difference? She told him that he would indeed have to pay the difference. The house is owned by BofA. They are the only bank who screw the hardworking taxpayer,who bailed them out last year,out of even more money for greed and greed alone. If you get screwed out of bank fees,I'm happy. You screwed yourself by either going to or sticking with such a POS bank in the first place. I've said it before and I'll say it again:Nazis were socialists. Hitler was too but Hitler didn't define the party. Nazis wanted banks to be government run. They got 'em. Nazis wanted the auto industry to be government run. They got it. Nazis wanted the healthcare system. They got that too. Our own government,through taxpayer money,has bailed out the banks,auto industry and now are trying for healthcare instead of sticking to our American principle of:SCREW UP AND FAIL! Thank your president when a fin doesn't buy a pack of gum in 20 years. Obama is turning out to be the black Jimmy Carter. History ALWAYS repeats itself if we don't learn from it. That's human nature.
