More on Health care

I have a few more points to add to my view on government health care.

First, all of this nonsense about the idea that the government will dictate what procedures a person will and won't be able to receive needs to end. Sure a woman won't be able to get her breasts enlarged to bigger than her head but explain how that is any different than currently private insurance policies. In fact I would bet that most people have policies that won't cover any cosmetic surgery unless it DIRECTLY affects a person's health. If this idea of government dictation is such a concern to people, then why aren't they out trying to destroy private insurance companies?

Also, for those of you who are so against government health care and yet vehemently pro-life, I urge you to think before you speak. By trying to repeal Roe v. Wade, make a constitutional amendment banning abortion, or pushing to allow the states to decide on it on their own is blatantly contrary to your argument. It is extremely hypocritical to argue AGAINST government health care and claim that it will give the government the power to dictate treatment on one hand, and then call for the government to restrict/eliminate a legitimate medical procedure on the other. That is nothing more than RESTRICTING and DICTATING what procedures a woman can or cannot have!

Yes the majority of Americans have health insurance. But what is the harm in sacrificing a little to help those who can't get insurance for various reasons? If this country is such a Christian country, as a lot of people constantly boast, then shouldn't it reason people should be doing unto others as they would have done unto them? How would you feel/react if you lost your job, as well as all of your benefits including health insurance, and then a week later you find yourself in ICU for an extended period (two weeks, a month, etc) but with no way to pay for it? What if it was not only your life but the lives of your family that hinged on choosing to buy food or pay for medical treatment to save your own life? Wouldn't you hope that people around you cared enough to help you out, regardless of whether they knew you personally or not?
