Defending Wamp

Les Jones agrees with congressman that health care is not a right:

In the American system, you have the right to freedom of speech and therefore a free press, but that doesn’t mean the government has to buy you a newspaper. You have the right to practice your religion without interference from the government, but the government won’t build you a church.

Likewise with healthcare. You have the right to seek healthcare, but no right to expect that other people will spend years in medical school and then come to work every day to provide you with their medical services for free, or for the government to pay for it with taxes. (Medicare is different in that it’s at least partialy paid for out of income withholdings.)

I stand against the lefts drive to socialism. They scream, raise taxes for universal coverage. Nash , Memph Fri and Sat. Tn GOP rocks.
