We want everyone to be educated and healthy. Our government makes sure everyone gets an education through public school systems paid for by our taxes. Our access to education does not depend on the financial status of the family.
Just as our minds need education, our bodies need health care. Many of us pay for insurance through payroll deductions directed to private companies and to Medicare. Many citizens, however, have no insurance for a variety of reasons. They may be unemployed or too poor or sick to get insurance. Our government is trying to make sure everyone has access to health care. This necessity should not depend on the financial status of the family.
Our full potential as a country will not be realized until all of our citizens have fully developed minds and healthy bodies.
