I notice the opponents to Obama care tend to be rich, well-insured already, healthy, young, and-or just against Obama's presidency.
I notice supporters tend to be older, less well-off, less-insured, and sicker or handicapped.
Nowadays the cost of healthcare is ruinous if you have a chronic condition or have a catastrophic occurrence. Should we let these people just rot, or is it a measure of our society how well we take car of our weakest members (as someone famous once said)?
As prehospital providers, don't we see the people (other than the alcoholics and drug addicts and intentional leeches) who are living marginally because they can't work, and can';t afford to either get well or get decent housing/food/home assistance?
And didn't we go through all these conniptions (forced participation) when Social Security was invented in the early 20th Century? How many Obama-haters collect SocSec, Medicare or Medicaid?
