I totally understand your perspective, and I’m not claiming our system is perfect. The Affordable Care Act hasn’t been around that long, and sure — it needs improvements.

But my main point is this: if you're able-bodied, you shouldn't just sit back and expect others to carry your weight. No matter what country or system you're in, you have a responsibility to contribute in some way.

Being part of a society means giving back — not being a burden. Whether it’s work, volunteering, or some form of effort, everyone should be doing their part.
