Health Care

What are people responsible for in their lives? Nowadays, they are not held responsible for their babies; they can abort them or abandon them at a fire station with no consequences—they may not even be frowned upon for their “choices.” They are not held responsible for their children; the public pays for their education, food, and clothing. They are not held responsible for their actions; an abused childhood , peer pressure, or drug abuse made them do it—they are just victims. They are not even held responsible for their own heath care. How is it that people can afford things that adversely affect their heath, such as cigarettes, alcohol, illegal drugs, and lots of food (judging from their obesity), but they cannot afford health care. They can afford gold jewelry, gold teeth, designer clothing and shoes, and expensive vehicles, but they cannot afford health insurance. Should we also provide them with long-term care, life insurance, car insurance, home insurance, etc? When do people become responsible for their own decisions and choices in life?
