Re: --Health Care Disaster--The Other Side of the Coin
It is not a free market. Or, rather, the market here is insurance, i.e. coverage, accessibility. The market is not the medical cares itself. The less money, the less medical care you have. Would Jesus agree with that?
It is a free market only to those who have a lot of money.
Is it a free market when you loose your job and no longer have insurance coverage?
Is it a free market when you have to mortgage or loose your house for medical care? or bankrupt?
Your free market is as good as the freedom that the money buys.
So, do you agree that some, because of lack of money, should have neither coverage or accessibility? Is it Christian?
My post was to show how you could look differently at the situation. I am not forcing anything. The more info the better.
And besides, I am not asking the other side to shut-up, I am rather asking to not be shut-up.
Also, what is the purpose of insurance companies? To make money. You would let them to decide about the kind of coverage you are allowed? Haven't you seen enough corruption in the financial markets?
A lot of that insurance money is saved with a so-called universal system. Who complain the most? those who are not covered (the poor), or the lawyers, the medical establishment who give political parties a lot of money?
To ask the question is to answer it.
