The free market decides who gets health care in one way or another.
If we give health care to one and all it will colapse the economy. Then most people won't have access to most health care.
So you see the free market decides it either way.
And right now we have a mix of free market and socialism. Do you really want only the government to decide what health care you are given or denied?
For example, I as a vetran have free health care because my income is so low. I get free eye glasses. I get free prescriptions.
But the government denies me certain things. I can't get my hemroids banded because for some strange reason the VA only does hemroidectomies.
Or, sometimes the doctor decides to deny care. When was volunteering at the VA the were debateing a prosthetic device for someone who seemed to be too old for it to be worth while.
We don't have to be like Britain or Sweeden. We are what we are and can tweak the system. But a major overhaul would be foolishenss in my opinion.
Finally, Jesus said that the poor would always be with us. In other words there will always be some people who lack some health care.
In a free market some people lack health care.
In socialism everyone has it but it isn't that good. The free market in socialism denies some care to everyone.
In communism the free market denies pretty much all medical care to everyone.
The Old Testament says that if you don't give part of your income to God you will have holes in your pockets (Habakkuk chapter 1). We don't pay money Rome or Mecca, not even to Jerusalem. But I think this still applies to Obama who won't pay the God of the Bible proper respect.
We will have holes in our national pockets till he acknowledges the God of the Bible.
