More like kids without money should suffer because of selfishness.  The PP talks about if a majority agrees it is something society needs to spend money on, then it is all good.  We can safely say the majority of our society thinks healthcare is worth spending money on.  To intimate that healthcare does not rise to the level of spending on police, firefighters etc. is ludicrous and, frankly, heartless.  If it was someone that PP cared about, you can bet he/she would suddenly and ferociously change his/her tune. Selfish, selfish, selfish.  Hollow good wishes that mean nothing, really.[/quote]

Uh, I didn't attack government organized healthcare, just the concept that someone is entitled to the money of others for the purpose of paying for health care. It's very different for people to voluntarily get together and decide that this is an important thing for the group to levy taxes and pay for.

I'll also point out that police and firefighter services are not universal and is not guaranteed even if you've paid for it through taxes. I brought these up as they are what people are familiar with in terms of socially organized and funded programs, not to say whether or not healthcare is more or less important. We can as a society vote and decide that healthcare should be funded by the government, but it's irrational to think that people are entitled to the money of others to pay for healthcare. [/quote]

Pp, this is falling apart.  We already voted for a President who passed a healthcare law.  That law protects people who have pre existing conditions.  Now, lawmakers who want to repeal that law in its entirety are asking you to vote for them.  Will you do it?[/quote]

Yes I would vote to cover pre-existing conditions, because this is an area where the government can help protect against some cases of catastrophic loss. It makes good sense. But whether I would vote one way or the other is beside the point. Again my attack is on the mentality that somehow people are entitled to have their pre-existing conditions covered, or that healthcare costs being paid for by the labor of others is an entitlement. This way of thinking is immoral. [/quote]

So are you saying you plan on voting Democratic across the board?  I don’t really care about your thoughts on anyone’s “mentality” and I don’t think anyone else here does either.  Your version of morality is confused at best.[/quote]
