National Health Care

[Jeff Lebowski]

Here is another thought I have been mulling over the weekend: The thing that I find the most disturbing about our current system is that there are thousands of poor Americans who die each year due to inability to pay for health care. I don't know what the ultimate solution should be, but this seems terribly wrong. And I can't help but wonder why it is that those who cry the loudest about the "sanctity of life" are often the same ones most adamantly opposed to universal health care. Why are we outraged at the loss of life in one case, but not the other?
