My husband and I could not afford healthcare for both of us so he did not have healthcare last year. Under Obamacare, we were charged $1800 because he didn't have healthcare. Now we owe the government $1800 and have to try to pay for healcare we can't afford or get charged again. Plus, the only insurance I can afford has a $5000 deductible so I have to pay everything out of pocket anyway. I'm sure there are benefits if you get need a lot of catastrophic care, but for the average person, we get screwed.

Absolutely not. Life without parole is a better alternative as it ensures that innocent falsely convicted inmates will not be killed. As technology advances, more and more inmates are beng exonerated. Also, race,gender, location, mental illness and competency of counsel all play a part in who receives the death penalty. For example, a black man who killed in self defense in a primarily white conservative area may not be provided with adequate counsel and treated as fairly as his white counterpart and until our justice system can be reformed and play fair, which let's be honest, is not likely to ever happen, we should not be giving the unjust system the right to say who lives and dies. Not to mention, no study has proven that the death penalty is actually a deterrent. It's a flawed system and no flawed system should be gambling with lives.

So, you must be the type of person that would murder an innocent person just so 9 other guilty people would not go free? Because there have been near a couple hundred death row inmates, and counting, that have been exonerated and proven innocent since the reinstatement of the death penalty. So you must believe that it is worth killing the innocent and falsely convicted in order to make sure other guilty inmates get murdered?
