This video is about health care, and insurance. This mans expenses are one million dollars a year to stay alive, who’s responsibility is it to pay for the healthcare? Should people like this who are in most need of care be cut from their insurance because they are expensive? Who has the authority to decide what person deserves to get healthcare or not? Do you think everyone in America should get full heath care? Why or why not?
