Not Clearly Pro or Con to the question "Should all Americans have the right (be entitled) to health care?"
Reasoning:
"...I think we are for telling our senior citizens that no one in this country should be denied medical care because of a lack of funds. But I think we are against forcing all citizens, regardless of need, into a compulsory government program, especially when we have such examples, as announced last week, when France admitted that their medicare program was now bankrupt."
