What does that have to do with anything? You so much as step foot in an emergency room when uninsured and the bill will be more than the average joe can handle. And for urgent matters you have no choice but to visit the nearest emergency room.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

So? Why is that my problem? I've been there. I had a couple toes on my right foot broken in a work accident on a temporary job in 1978. The hospital bandaged them up and sent me home. I couldn't work. I went down to the welfare office and they told me to get a desk job. Maybe people need to take responsibility for themselves and not rely on big brother to take care of them.

You CANNOT be denied medical care.

And the MAJORITY of people simply choose to NOT pay their medical bill.

Not paying medical bills greatly affects your credit in a negative manner. But that isn't the thing to worry about... people are NOT seeking medical care when uninsured because they know they won't be able to afford it.

So. Why is that my problem? Why should I pay someone else's bills? I can't find that in the constitution either.

When the top 1% own more than the bottom 90% it becomes a question of morality when people cannot afford basic requirements like health care.

Perhaps after hundreds of years it is time to include health coverage for all citizens into the constitution.

When the bottom 20% get FREE MEDICAL care through Social Security, MA and Welfare, why is any of this even a problem?

FREE MEDICAL CARE!

I'll guarantee you that my friend the black lady, who has not worked a day in her life, and just had major surgery, IS NOT PAYING ONE PENNY FOR HER MEDICAL CARE.


And you still claim that millions of Americans have NO healthcare.

Who is the judge of that morality? Here is my take on your position. You decry Christians and their morality because you do not agree with it, but you expect us to acquiesce to the liberal morality which is to have the government take from those who have more and give to those who have less. That is socialist communism. Maybe you should live in a country more to your liking. There's Sweden, Canada (although the people finally got tired of the liberals and threw them out in the last election), Finland, Cuba, etc. They all have socialist governments.
