This very common argument made by the "healthcare for profit" people is flawed.
The BEST analogy that can be made about the American health care system is the following:
Automobiles are available for everybody. Some can afford to drive Cadillac Escalades. Some can only afford to drive Kias. And others drive rusty 1990 Chevy Cavaliers.
Maybe senior citizens being forced to work at Wal Mart, as a matter of life and death, is acceptable to you, but it's not to me.
The U.S. Constitution doesn't address a lot of things, but it sure comes in handy as a "fall-back" position for the leftists and the non-leftists.
You are equating BASIC healthcare with "normal" healthcare. Do you not believe that there are MILLIONS of people in this country who do not receive healthcare because they don't have the means to PAY for it? Do you not believe that there are millions of people in this country who are unnecessarily enduring crippling illnesses and diseases because they don't have the money to see a doctor and/or pay for medications?
Look, I don't agree with most of what the leftists believe in, and I abhor the hypocrisy and the lies and the childish behaviors of the leftists, but there is a thing called "compassion" and there is a thing called "helping your fellow man". Decent health care is one of the most basic of human needs, after food and water. NOBODY in this country should be without QUALITY health care.
