Thursday, October 1: During a Senate finance Commitee meeting about the national healthcare bill, Senator Max Baucus stated "for national healthcare to work there must be shared responsibility". Think about that. Shared responsibility. America has always been about Individual Rights and the Individual Responsibilities that are attached to those rights. Now non-smokers are being asked to be responsible for the care of smokers. People that stick to a healthy diet are being asked to be responsible for those that over eat. Non-drinkers will be told to care for those that choose to consume alcohol. The loss of individual responsibilities eventually leads to the loss of Individual Rights. In the future the public will be told what they can eat, drink or smoke all in the name of healthcare.
