Survival issues are basic human instincts. According to Maslow’s famous hierarchy, the needs of the body and safety are at the core of daily concern before love, esteem and self-actualization may be achieved. It is a common belief that most people seek job security for the health benefits and will take jobs and opportunities on a lower order of integrity in order to secure them. How often do we hear of a person’s main reason for enduring a boring, or even stifling job because the benefits are good. Yet, under the circumstances where and individual or corporation is the employer and deliver of such benefits there is often training, management and job evaluations to support the worker as well as the need for excellence in ones duties lest the employee be replaced by someone more capable and all the luring benefits lost.
In the long run it may be foolish to socialize medicine except for the most needy who are below a reasonable capacity to sustain gainful employment. Private health concerns provide necessary motivation to perform a daily discipline and job for a great number of people.If this motivator is removed I assert that a great number of people will become lethargic as noted in socialist nations. Depression, divorce and suicide will increase and a slovenly attitude toward conscientious work will ensue. Among a few a release from this medical concerns will foster a greater sense of freedom, personal improvement and growth. In the long run, I think it will prove a social disaster. As multitudes become conditioned to a fail safe attitude toward pressing medical benefits a host of other needs will certainly arise. Appreciation and gratitude will soon wane, children will be born into the system of dependency upon the government. In time they will demand more and more unearned benefits via the state as hard work and personal freedom become corrupted. Laziness, license and debauchery will ease into the deepest fibres of social morality until the words of Pliny ring true, “They were no longer able to bear their vices nor the cure."
