Reply posts like the above are why I hardly bother with Random Ramblings anymore.PosOutlook, when did you last pick up a psychotic from the street and deliver them to medical care? I hope you had those 4-point leather restraints with you just in case. What a crazy criticism.Hoosier, you need to get a dose of humility and charity if you go into the medical field. An ethics class would be of benefit too. You are going to see a lot of poor needy people who need to be treated the same medically whether they have the money or not.Personally I am really tired of the constant generalizing: "Liberals are bad and wrong." "Conservatives have a direct line to the truth". This just shuts down any dialogue.There is no way conservatives are 100% right. No way liberals are 100% right. This is why there are debates, and voting, and why the middle way may be what's selected. It's also why Obama was elected. It's also why there will hopefully finally be medical coverage of some kind for all. It's what the people want. No, not what you conservatives on this site want.I am tired of the demonizing. If I, your one liberal, perhaps, say "Today the sky here is blue." Someone will be sure to say "It is only your liberal mindset that requires the government to pay to make the sky blue." The discussion just degenerates into nonsense.Furnishedowner
CHARITY!!!I have ethics. I dont believe in theft. Apparently you do though, because you want to take MY MONEY and GIVE it away. Since your a theif, and since your Christian, you better pray to Jesus Christ and ask him for forgiveness.
That's quite a leap... but lets follow that logic... if that's the case, then ANYONE in the world should be able to come here and NOT be denied quality healthcare despite not having insurance coverage... If not, WHY not?
However, charity is charity, and theft is theft, just because you put the government between you doesn't change this. You CANNOT FORCE people to pay more in taxes, by TAKING (not asking to give) from one to give to another to pay for others health insurance, while at the same time taking a cut for yourself to administer it, and still call it CHARITY, wouldn't you agree???
Why cant I go take $20 out of my neighbors car right now, If I go and donate it to Red Cross (a good organization, that money will help people!)??? If the government can do it.. why cant I? hmm?

Bluemoon06,This is a specious and ignorant statement... the sick, BY LAW, cannot be turned away from an emerigency room, WHETHER THEY HAVE INSURANCE OR NOT.... it specifically states in the first paragraph below...
Are you seriously going to argue that panhandlers were not around before Reagan??? Puh-lease...
