My dad, mom and grandparents have influenced my political views. When I was younger hearing my parents discuss upcoming elections effected what I thought of the candidates running for office and who I thought I would vote for if I could. The greatest effect on my political attitude would be my family's party affiliation, more then the community I live in or my background. My family has a stronger influence on me then my community does because I am with them a lot and hear what they have to say about political issues. Growing up with the beliefs my family have made it normal to see things the way they may see it because lots of times I only get to hear their point of view and haven't really searched it out.
Should all Americans receive free healthcare or is it too expensive? If everyone got free healthcare it would be too expensive, it is something everyone should pay for. It would bring America in more debt then it is now because the government would then have to print more money to pay for the healthcare. Somebody has to pay for health care, so that would mean that we would then have to pay more taxes. So instead of healthcare actually being free, we would still have to pay for it, but indirectly through higher taxes instead of out of pocket.
