This issue is insoluble by government, in my opinion. Only a system which combines private enterprise (including free-market insurance policies) and private charity has any potential.

Very well said, TC.

But America is doomed ... even supposed 'conservatives' on a supposedly 'conservative' forum have already surrendered their principles and come to love Big Brother.

I understand why people continue to feel that government can and should provide medical care. However, the experiments have been run, both here and in other countries, and it just doesn't work. Another system that just doesn't work is government education, for many of the same reasons.

What a sad, unhappy life you must have with that attitude.

Our life is a wonderful gift from God. I try to celebrate His gift every day, with daily Mass and rosary. I offer Him my all, with humility and gratitude.
