    Health care for All

    "Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship to restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal privileges to others; the Constitution of the Republic should make a special privilege for medical freedoms as well as religious freedom."

    Benjamin Rush signer of the declaration of independence.


    Boy was he right!

    Let me articulate this for you:
    "I'm not locked in here with them. They're locked in here with me!!"

    How do you equate "Medical Freedom" to Health Care For All?

    Keeping in mind that Religious Freedom does not mean that everything religious is Free For All...

    Of course religion costs money. People tithe. People donate. Some churches charge hundreds of dollars to hold weddings. Is the heat and electricity FREE? No... somebody has to pay for it.

    I'm a christian and I need a christmas tree to celebrate the holy season... Do I get a free christmas tree for my family?

    It's only in the magically fairyland in some people's minds that Free Healthcare is actually Free. Somewhere we will have to pay for it. They just like the idea of somebody ELSE paying for it while they pretend it's "free"...

    For the recipients, what's not free about Medicaid?

    Pay your way into heaven. Organized religion is a huge ponzi scheme. That's why all major religions have one central entity. They ask for "donations" but over all it goes to the gold framed bed for the pope.

    I don't mean to insult religion because i think it's great and all, but buying your way into heaven is a scam.

    I've never used Free and Health Care int he same sentence. Nor has Obama.
    Affordable is the goal.

    Once again, DomFem, we totally agree.
