I am going to say something that most conservatives hate to hear.
The majority of Americans want healthcare. And although, I feel that the Federal Government is to big, I also think that the will of the people who are alive today, should outweigh the ideals instilled from yesteryear.
Another reason that I want it, is because it's pro small business. Not big business, who doesn't want it because it could mean a tax hike for them. But the small guy, who wants to pay his employees an honest wage and can't because he's required to pay their insurance as well.
I'm not going to make a technical argument on cost. Because, I'm an American, and it doesn't matter what it costs if it's the right thing. I don't think we as a country do the right thing often enough.
And you know who agrees with me? Donald Trump.

So argue against him, not me. He's convinced me.

I'm a conservative on most issues but a liberal on this one. We should not hear so many stories of families ruined by healthcare expenses. We must not allow citizens with medical problems to go untreated because of financial problems or red tape. It is an unacceptable but accurate fact that the number of uninsured Americans has risen to forty-two million.
Working out detailed plans will take time. But the goal should be clear: Our people are our greatest asset. We must take care of our own. We must have universal Healthcare.
