so if you have health Insurance and I don't... I'm a lazy Liberal and you are a righteous Christian ??????????

Question

amazing the way people draw lines in here, I just answered a question and went back to read the other answers and across the board the right side of the field dispelled, cat called and heckled the notion of universal health care... because most of them had existing insurance.
Isn't it Basic Human rights to be able to have health care?, and what about the 40 million plus people without it? Most of them working but not earning enough to pay for it themselves?.. people on welfare already have medicare and medicade, the people without insurance are the people that made to much to qualify for state or federal assistance.. don't you care about other hard working Americans and their families all you good Christians ?

a couple of the answerers on previous questions had gone into long tirades about faith, their faith that is..

Answer 1

I live in a red state too and not many of us have health care but most are hard working people. I'm chronically ill, without health care, and cannot work. I tried to get help in the beginning and was told that they couldn't even give a woman with cancer medicaid. I am not on any government assistance and my children are much too young and too financially insecure to help me get health care so that I can get well enough to work. Am I bitter? I was until I realized how dumbed down Americans have become and that the media is controlled by the elite. I just feel sorry for the other people out there who are chronically ill with no help and sorry for the people who are still wearing their rose-colored glasses.

Answer 2

Health care can never be a basic human right. Basic human rights are something we are born with; that originate from the individual. Like the right to speak freely, to adequately defend yourself from harm, to practice the religion of your choosing, etc. Governments cannot give rights; they can only decide not to take them away...

Health care requires the presence of highly trained professionals willing to exchange their services for what they consider adequate compensation. If the compensation is not adequate they will provide substandard services, move somewhere where adequate compensation is available, or cease to provide these services altogether. When thinking about what passes for a "basic human right" it is helpful to think of the freedoms exercised by prehistoric humans, before modern technology and governments were around to improve standards of living and "civilize" them to make society possible. As a developed and modern society we have decided that it is acceptable to collectively give-up part of our right to the fruits of our labor in exchange for improvements for the common good. Such as, interstate highway systems, armed forces, education, fire protection, and domestic security, but none of these can be considered "basic human rights" because, like health care, they require the willing participation of specialized individuals.

We may well decide that we are willing to further give-up our rights to the fruits of our labors for partial or full health care guarantees, but make no mistake, there will be a net-loss in rights. We better be very sure of the effects our decisions will have on quality of service and any other long-term unintended consequences.

Oh, and by the way, religion has no place in this discussion.

Answer 3

People like to draw lines in the sand. Me I try hard not to generalize.

I have health insurance because I earned it and I pay for it. I know other people who have jobs and can afford health care but decide against it because they would rather spend the money on something else.

I suppose to some a new car every 2 years is more important, but then hey, they don't plan on needing health care; anyway they'll never get sick.

And you know I really have no clue what their politics are. We were usually too busy working to talk about it.

Answer 4

All people have access to health care , you can' t be refused.

Well first of all only about 8 Million of those "40 Million" actual can't afford health insurance. The rest choose to spend their money on other things because for young people health insurance is a bad use of money.

The US is about Individualism not "society above individuals"
and it makes me sick to my stomach that people want a nanny state to take care of them from cradle to grave!

Answer 5

I feel your pain. It sickens me that American's feel this way about other American's, and these same people seem to care more about freeing and liberating another country before they put the welfare of their own neighbor first. Talk about being UnAmerican!

I asked a question about healthcare 20 minutes ago and the responses make me sick to my stomach.

Answer 6

Why in the world are you making this a conservative Christian thing???? You are just as labeling! I feel bad for these people but I've had some pretty low paying jobs that has had excellent insurance plans. People need to find insurance! They can't afford to be without it and if it means sacrificing then so be it. I can't afford to pay out any more in taxes. Most medical facilities have their own programs if needed.

Answer 7

There are Christians and athiests alike, as well as many in false religion that do and dont have health insurance.
And, yes we should have a Universal health isurance, but not like Canada. If you know Canadians, they will tell you , they may have it, but its not great.
We can only have fair , ture universal health care, if the ppl running it follow the principles of God and will allow the Holy Spirit to direct them in all decisions to be made.
Lazy liberals may or may not have health insurance, but only non believe and a refussal to obey keeps you from being a christian. No christian can judge someone for their life circumstances.
The way it is now, those that are regular hard working ppl, Chrisitians and non Christians, tend to get left out. Those will insurance recieve good health care. And those that are on welfare and special programs, that are many of whom wont work, they get help and benefits. and NO< I didnt say all those on welfare are lay and wont work, but there are many there.
But, we who do work and work hard, but dont make enough to pay for insurance, we are the ones that are suffering.
Due to many of my health issues, it is so spendy for me to get health insurance, that I dont have it. Costing me over 1,200.00 a month just for mine and that didnt cover my husband. Once we started our own business, there went the health insurance. Affordable health care should be offred to everyone. But our government wont do it till they feel it will benefit them in some way. Just how it works out.
Only God is truly for us in all things.....
and Yes, I do care about other hard working ppl like my husband now is and that I used to be, should be able to afford great medical care, just as my husband and I deserve it too.
Dont punish us for working hard.
Yet , till it comes, we must simply trust God to meet our needs and take care of us. Our hope in in Jesus Christ.
God bless you to overflow for your question.

Answer 8

the lines on yahoo are a joke. I live in a "red state" in the Bible Belt. One fourth of the people of this state do not have health insurance. I guarantee that they are not all lazy Liberals.

Answer 9

I bought into the "lazy liberals" thing when i grew up in a conservative household. Then I got out into the real world and realized that poverty and poor circumstance have nothing to do with political ideology.

Answer 10

You drew that line not me. I say if I have insurance and you don't, that would make me more RESPONSIBLE than you. Religion has nothing to do with it, now laziness may, but responsibility is a much better conclusion.
