Web Letters: Do Americans Have a Right to Healthcare?

My freedom depends on my health and the health of the person next to me.

I have the right to expect that the person next to me is not going to infect me with some horrible and very preventable disease. It seems to me that by focusing on healthcare we can make our country more productive and safer for everyone.

Here is the deal. Any senator benefiting financially from from a healthcare bill without a public option and voting to not include a public option in the healthcare bill shall be found guilty of bribery and shall be sentenced to jail for at least ten years and not more than twenty years. Some of these old guys don't have twenty years of life left. Any insurance company that either donates to a campaign or has donated to a campaign or offers or has offered a position to the senator or Congressman or their family for sums of money shall be deemed as having engaged in bribery. This shall apply regardless of political party affiliation.
