To an impartial observer from afar, it appears that too many
Americans believe that they have no such moral obligation. They
deride moral obligations as "socialist" and are apoplectic with
rage when anyone dares to suggest that such an obligation should
exist.

Yeah....Well, maybe after being told that they lived in a Capitalist
society and had to take care of themselves all of their lives, they
are a bit disturbed that now they have to take care of all the
hangers-on when they should be enjoying their retirement.

While enjoying assurances that they themselves will not have their own
coverage dropped if they get too sick in their old age, or see their
coverage cut off if they contract something expensive to treat.

Anyone could, "contract something too expensive to treat", but the policy
should outline what they will treat and what they won't treat.
Unfortunately, I couldn't even get a copy of my policy from Stanford when I
worked there, so I don't know what they will and what they won't treat. At
any rate, the system is totally screwed up in my opinion, and Obamacare
isn't going to help it. It is already more than 50% socialized, so there is
no real competition, and the government is, as usual, unable to properly
regulate, control, and administrate it.
