I am not smart enough to know what exactly should be done with heath insurance reform--and I don't want to argue that or get slammed with rumors, someone's line-by-line interpretation of some version of some bill (of which there are no complete, official or passed ones out there). But what I do want to discuss is the lack of the moral argument in the health insurance reform debate. Yes, it's not in the Constitution that everyone has health insurance, but neither is capitalism, public schools, unemployment insurance, civil rights, legal tax loopholes and on and on. What is in the Bible and the moral guide for many of us is: "Do unto others as you would have done unto you." (I know that's not the exact quote.) We all deserve decent healthcare. It is the moral thing to do to extend it to all--(not the illegal aliens, not those abortion-getting dumb, young girls--no, no, no). What is concerning to me is that too many are saying, "Well, I have mine--and I deserve mine--so to hell with those losers that don't have it. I don't want to pay for someone else." Well, I hate to tell those folks, but they are paying for others right now--and at an unsustainable rate. If things continue to go on as they are, you may lose your benefits because of a job change or elimination. You may be bumped (even though you've paid into your plan), if you get too sick or expensive. So, even if you don't buy the moral argument, buy into the self-preservation argument. Because you may find yourself uninsured before you know it. |

Yours is one of the liberal arguments I hate the most Anna. Now, all conservatives are uncaring, self-centered, idiots because they don't want to pay more for everyone else's health care. As you said, we already pay for medicaid, medicare, and still this is not enough. Now we should cover everyone. Maybe we should feed, clothe, and house everyone too. Remember, the government cannot give anything to anyone --- that they have not first taken away from someone else. I'd much rather 'take the chance' with self-preservation and the plan we have now, then switch to the managed care plan Obama has in store for us. His is much risker, and very poorly thought out. They are trying to jam it through just like they did his stoopid stimulus bill--which also isn't working. Obama is a complete hack in my view, and there is no way I want a government managed health care plan. That doesn't make me selfish, btw, it makes a concerned Mom and Wife who cares a bit more about her own family than the rest of the country. Edited by uh-oh, Aug 25 2009, 02:16 PM.
