The 10th is a big one that is openly violated by those of the leftist persuasion,
but I believe, only because they approach it from an “envy” instead of “emulate” standpoint. Leftists would rather destroy what their neighbor has than to emulate him and achieve likewise.
In the case of emulation, your desire can be for the possibility that you’ll be blessed as your neighbor if you act as your neighbor, as long as his actions are worth emulation - ie, are Godly.
“You have no ‘right’ to something that must be provided by the labors of another person!”
There’s the rub, eh?
But I gotta tell you, a lot of people don’t see it that way. Many folks I talk to think everyone should get care, regardless of their ability to pay. In fact, I believe there are laws that force hospitals to treat those who can’t pay.
Even around here, if a poll were taken, how many would agree with the following:
“Each person is entitled only to the healthcare services which he is able and willing to pay for. And to nothing more. For those unable to pay, even in life-threatening situations, voluntary charity is the only recourse. And this includes children.”
On the other hand, if healthcare is a basic human right, then food must also be one. But grocers are not required by law to provide for those who can’t pay.
Thanks! I’ll use both lines over on YouTube
>>“Each person is entitled only to the healthcare services which he is able and willing to pay for. And to nothing more. For those unable to pay, even in life-threatening situations, voluntary charity is the only recourse. And this includes children.”<<
What about payments?
What about them?
“But grocers are not required by law to provide for those who can’t pay.”
Just wait, it’s coming.
Hey Dems,
Keep your laws off my BODY!
You left out the other option. The one many members of my own family have used. Payments.
It took my nephew five years to pay off his son’s NICU stay, but they didn’t ask for government help nor charity at all.
What you described is paying for one’s healthcare.
What about those who can’t or won’t pay?
A politician is a reflection of the people who elect them the way i see it. They represent their morals and ideals. It seems to me that voting for teddy they must be the country’s largest group moral degenerates.
>>What about those who can’t or won’t pay?<<
Those who won’t, get sued.
Those who can’t, charity hospitals.
Which of course would be able to treat everyone who needed to be treated if those who won’t, WOULD!
That's it...end of story right there! Spot on!!!
I guess it is better than the Palestinians who tie bombs on to their children’s backs. Same objective though....
....that every American have decent quality health care....
obamacare will NOT allow “every American [to] have decent quality health care!!!!”
Using children to politic from the pulpit at a funeral.
DISGRACEFUL!
Two rahs!!
