Health and preventing health issues is not the responsibility of the government, but individual.
Sure, says who? USA takes "26 percent of gross domestic product" in taxes http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/how-do-us-taxes-compare-internationally http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/how-do-us-taxes... , so the govt can't just take. And USA pays for liver transplants, disability and loss in productivity.
Not to mention that US made healthcare its business with Obamacare.
>>Immigrants that come into the country (legally) are required by law to have received or receive vaccinations listed by the gov't.
For $10 the Sudan (++++) authorities will give you any vaccination record the US Embassy requires
- zghst 9y agoFor my first point, I infer that you know your body and lifestyle best. Education exists to help people avoid preventable conditions (which are leading of health problems) and there isn't any reason why an individual should be compelled to seek the advice of a medical professional other than their own volition. Sudan has recently experienced 15 deaths due to a botched vaccination. In countries like Sudan, workers may not be properly trained, there are less legal protections, and doctors are much more time-resource bound, leading to rushed care.
