Senator Obama’s health and education plans will provide free health care to all who want it, and up to $4,000 for college for all Americans who want to full fill their American dream." Everyone has "access" to health insurance and everyone has the "opportunity" to attend college. There's no such thing as "free" health care. For the government to provide, it first must "take". The Robin Hood mentality of stealing from the rich to give to the poor may seem noble at first glance, but its still stealing. Mandatory contributions to public welfare is not what capitalism is based upon, nor is it wise. “America is the only industrialized country in the world where citizens do not have access to health insurance and the opportunity to attend college.
