If he could've shoved universal health care down our throats he would have but he was willing to admit that it wouldn't fly. But many will admit that this health care bill is a start and that they want to "teak" it as time goes by with the ultimate goal being universal halth care. It's the same old argument, there are those that believe that government should "take care if us" and then there are those of us who want to take care of ourselves. Because there are some who can't take care of themselves (and many are in that camp due to their own choices), those of us who can can't be allowed to either. Think of it as a governmental mandate of our moral obligation to take care of our fellow human beings. Certainly you don't object to that. Yes I do object to that. Government cannot mandate my moral obligation to take care of other people. My moral obligations come from a higher authority and He only asks for 10% of my income. If someone doesn't think your your version of a higher authority is correct, does that mean they have no moral obligation? It all comes down to one's personal choice. The problem may be that not enough make the right choice to help others. Compassion for others, as you know, is not a Christian concept. This fellow who is not a Christian, can teach many Christians how to be more Christ-like http://wn.com/Narayanan_Krishnan_Feeding_India's_Poor__CNN_Hero |
