There is nothing immoral about health care per se. The bill that is about to become law is immoral and unconstitutional. I think there is a lot that is immoral about government running health care. The slide to death panels for example.

IF death panels are a part of a government health plan, then that would be immoral....the same as if abortion were a part of a gov’t plan.

However, there is nothing immoral about a government health plan. I, for example, am a military retiree, and I have had my health care provided by the military (a gov’t arm) for decades. There’s nothing immoral about health care unless the plan itself is immoral.

It is immoral, I think, to be unworkable. That is wrong with this particular plan. So is the failure to specifically prevent abortion. So is any committee that decides who is to get life-saving care and who won’t.

There is a difference between saying THIS plan has immoral elements and saying ANY plan a government could come up with is automatically immoral simply because it originates at a government level.
