Debate: Health Care Should Be Free
Side: Free Health Care

It should be free if you cannot afford it."WAAAAAGH BUT CHATTURGHA, THAT'LL MAKE PEOPLE MOOCH OFF TAXPAYERS."I don't care. I'm a tax payer and I couldn't give two shits. If someone is comfortable living pitifully and miserably by my standards, it's not my place to judge them differently then anyone else. And for the most part, I don't think there is such a thing as a 'moocher' in the lower class even though I supposedly met someone like that in my childhood.This is because I think that as long as you are homeless, about to be homeless, physically suffering, have loved ones whom are physically suffering, going hungry on some weeks, yada yada... then you'd have to be clinically insane to be comfortable living in such a state. And if you're not comfortable living in such a state, you're either presently trying to get yourself up to a more liveable state of existence, or you've already tried doing that so much that you are at your wits end and have given up.Either way, I inevitably do not believe that the poor are moochers for getting handouts. I think quality of life should be determined by A. If you're a human being or not, B. How hard you work, and C. How much you suffer. Some people are all suffering and no work... can you really blame them? Suffering sort of, you know, takes away your ability to be psychologically and/or physically stable enough to work. And even then, people who have supposedly 'given up' are generally working to not suffer, even if they don't seem to be working to pull themselves out of poverty.Now, you could retort by claiming that people who suffer deserve it because they made mistakes. Well, who are you to judge other people's suffering as just? It's not within our power as human beings to literally experience the same agony as other human beings, but we naturally make assumptions that said suffering is horrible; this is called empathy. Why develop feelings of empathy, even for complete strangers, if we were meant to judge people's suffering as being just?Obviously, we weren't. For so many of you, if you made mistakes that made you suffer enough, there would always be a point in which would you break, and realize that you don't deserve the agony you are getting. So what you fail to infer is that other people are pretty much exactly the same, but indiscernible in truth. Since we can assume that people are the same as us, as in they experience suffering, but we cannot literally judge what their suffering is, we can only come to the conclusion that a person is suffering as much as they appear or say.As in, we cannot judge how much a person suffers, and since it's very possible to suffer more then for what you supposedly 'deserve', we have no way of knowing if a person deserves a damn thing of what they have to put up with. Since we cannot judge the suffering of others by ourselves, that means we cannot judge what they may have done that supposedly resulted in their suffering.Furthermore, we cannot judge how much someone should be punished for something. If someone does something wrong, and you cannot truly interpret by yourself how they experience agony, then setting a standard punishment is wrong, as it runs the very real risk of unjustly damaging someone. You don't imprison the murderer to punish him, you imprison the murderer to stop him from hurting other people.In conclusion, if you have the audacity to judge others suffering and tell them, to their face, they deserve it, without any empirical context, then you are an apathetic faggot whom is a detriment to the human race. If ten people like you were to suddenly die, I would feel just as bad as if ten people like me were to suddenly die, because I am a better person then you, and I have the foresight to understand that caring for people is quintessential to human existence. You not understanding or agreeing with this doesn't make me care for you less, but it does make you a bad, or not very a good, person.With that all explained, I will reiterate: health care should be free for people who cannot afford it. Why? Because they are not lazy, you douche pickle. They are unfortunate and suffering people who don't deserve to be treated like garbage by someone more fortunate then they. Also, they are human beings, and humans beings deserve a minimum quality of life... and if we are ever to become an empathetic, caring, loving society, truly, then we much start by improving the quality of life for the less fortunate.
