Healthcare access to everyone? - 1 views

  •  
    Healthcare is an issue that is present today, especially with the election that just occurred. Some believe that everyone should have free access to healthcare and note that if other countries can do it, so can we. The other believe that it is the individuals personal responsibility to figure out how they are going to get it and believe that universal coverage would be too expensive.
  •  
    I agree completely. It is possible and other countries have proven it. It's just a matter of rejecting the lobbyists, insurance companies, and pharmaceuticals that make money off of private citizens. Healthcare should be a basic human right and not something that can cause you to go bankrupt.

Smoking ban: Valid or Infringement? | Daily Sundial - 0 views

  •  
    This article is about the recent smoking bans implemented, specifically in universities, and whether this ban infringes on our freedom to choose. I think this is a very relevant topic as over the past few there have been more restrictions on where one is allowed to smoke and in some states even e-cigarettes are being banned.

    I really do not understand why adoption agencies are refusing to adopt children out to same sex couples, or single people because if someone is going to love and provide for that child, what does it matter who they marry? The number of children who are looking for a loving family is endless, so many children need to be adopted.
  •  
    If the couple is same sex or single and make the requirements to adopt then why not. There are so many children in foster care that are waiting to be adopted. It shouldn't matter a persons sexual preferance to be able to adopt as long as the couple loves and can provide for the child. It also shouldn't matter if one is single. Again as long as the person can love and provide for the child there shouldn't be a problem.
  •  
    Being married should not have any precedence over those who are not. Love is a universal concept that everyone has to offer. Women no longer need a man to provide for them, so why should one have to be married to love and care for a child? Especially if the willing parent has no issue providing the means to support the child. It is better than just leaving the child in a system that gives them no actual emotional support, which only contributes to abandonment and self-worth issues.
  •  
    Personally I think anyone who is willing to tell themselves that they want to take in a child that is not born from their blood line and care for that child as if they are then all power to them, there are too many children out there that don't have homes and are put in the system until they age out and I think equality for single people is the right thing to do.
