Instructions: Provide a response including a few reasons why you disagree or agree, and further information to prove your point or connect it back to the statement.

Statement: In my opinion I think that we should spend most of our taxes on Medicare and other expenses dealing with medical assistance. I believe this because people who do not make a lot of money should not have to worry about going to the doctor just because they cannot afford it. Also it can help pay for unfortunate accidents or sicknesses that cannot be prevented. Such as cancer, this is a disease that already takes a toll on your health, you should not have to worry about paying thousands of dollars on medication to help cure the sickness. Another reason is if you break a bone you have to play thousands to get it fixed. If people did not have medical assistance they would not be able to afford to get that bone fixed.
