Health Care

Please forgive me as this is my first blog and please keep that in mind as you read it.

I listen to left wing and right wing radio, and I post on left wing and right wing boards. I would say that I am a person that is closer to the middle when it comes to views on politics.

As the health care debate unfolds I just wonder about a few things.

Some people thing that having basic health care is a right and should be taken care of by the government. Which I have a small problem with but not on a big scale. But, what gets me is some people think that people who own or work in the health care industry (insurance companies mainly) should not make a profit. And that got me to thinking.......if basic health care is a right then so should shelter and food. Then shouldn't the builders of homes not make a profit, or the landlords of apartment buildings not make a profit. What about the food industry??? Should Mickey D's make a profit on making America fat. Let alone General Mills.

And then you could go on to the people that make the materials to build the homes, steel, wood, carpets, glass manufactures, etc. Or the farmers or rancher that produce the basic food, milk, grain, corn, tomato's etc. I just wonder where it would end.
