Headline from NYT: "Should Health Insurance Be Mandatory?"

posted by Bill Arnett @ 2:10 PM Permalink

45 million uninsured. More people than ever living without a job, the prospect of a job, or the training or experience to get a single job to support their families. Families with two or more working members working two or more jobs just to survive. Welfare rolls and unemployment growing daily. More living in poverty than ever before. More ill and infirm than ever before.

Oh, yeah, these people will be delighted to run right out and beg, borrow, or steal the money they will need to purchase health insurance they cannot afford. Sure a few family members may have to be given the boot out in into the elements of nature, but I'm sure they won't mind that the government is again plotting a brand new way to mandatorily deprive them of the meager resources with which they must survive.

Health care will never be fair and equal until it is available to everyone at no cost to the individual. The poor are the only ones that will be bear the brunt of this shameful proposal as, of course, the rich can go anywhere and pay almost any amount of money for top notch care.

Not so for those so destitute that they must choose whether to open another can of cat food for dinner or take one more prescious pill they can ill afford to try to stay alive to provide help for those in the family even worse off than they.

Shame on America, and shame on those who would seek to snatch ever greater sums from the hands of those whom may least afford it.
