Health

I find healthcare to be a very interesting topic lately. Not just the whole national healthcare deal, but personal health in general. While everyone's running around to doctors to try to fix things that go wrong with their bodies, it makes me wonder why more people aren't thinking about preventative medicine or healthy eating. It's just like a car, you change the oil every 5,000 miles or so, you don't wait until the engine ceases up and needs to be completely overhauled. What ticks me off is that the people that really scream for the free healthcare are the ones that take the least care of themselves. Why should I be paying for some crack addict to get healthcare? How 'bout I pay for myself and my family instead? Even more, why don't I actaully take care of myself and the health of my family so that hospital bills are at the lowest posible lifetime cost? I see a nutritionalist and go to health food supplement stores. Guess who pays for that......ME. And I expect no one else to pitch in. Why is that concept so far gone for most people? Why does everyone think that healthcare is a right and we all need to pitch in? I hate being a part of the system.
