[Just mythoughts]

Hey, don't complain. They are valiantly standing against encroaching government and freedom of religion in the least. Sometimes one thread pulled just right can cause a blanket to come apart. Everyone lets grab a thread! ____________________________________________________________ What I am suppose to ignore the demand from on high and then believe that 'universal' means something different? Where does 'religion' begin and end in this demand?

In fact Pope Benedict joined WHO’s call for universal health coverage just before its report hit the press. He called health care a moral responsibility of government and an “inalienable right,” regardless of social and economic status or ability to pay. He cautioned that the privatization of health care should “not become a threat to the accessibility, availability, and quality of health care.” http://www.uscatholic.org/culture/social-justice/2011/01/papal-prescription

You are right, the Pope is totally wrong in this. But, the stand against the government telling them what they have to do concerning immoral, abortion ridden, so called health care is not. Wouldn't it be grand if they would see what having government health care really means. It should be completely obvious that all over the world where it is being done it has led to immoral rationing. Will they, the Pope and other high ranking Catholics, see the err of their ways and learn? I hope so. If they use reason and logic they will. They need to see that there are other answers.
