REMINDER - Some of you are not writing enough here. A single sentence isn't enough. I expect you to expand upon your writing. If you think you have written enough, you haven't, write more. Be sure to answer WHY you think something.

1. Do you think individuals should be responsible for acquiring their own health insurance either through their employer or with their own money? Why?

I think individuals should be responsible for acquiring health insurance through their employer. It is not as expensive through your employer and could help you out a lot. Also, I think it's more convenient to have insurance through your employer, but also could be harmful if you lose your job.


AND



2. Do you think the government should fund and support individuals who either cannot afford their own insurance or whose employers do not pay for health care? Why?
I think the government should support individuals whose employers don't pay for health care. It wouldn't be fair if some peoples employer's pay for their heath care and other people's employer's don't, meaning they would have to pay for it on their own. Everybody should be equal when it comes to health care.
