Answer the two questions below, please write at least a paragraph (3-5 sentences):

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 that individuals should be responsible for acquiring their own health insurance with their own money. I think this because people should not rely on their employer to get healthcare. Healthcare affects a person more than their employer, therefore, they should pay with their money.

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?

Yes, I think so because people deserve to stay healthy ad get their heath care. People shouldn't be punished for not being able to have a job or can't afford healthcare. Unless, the person is just taking advantage of this, then the government should provide.
