Universal Healthcare

Think less about yourselves sometimes, and more about the unfortunate. The people who can't afford health insurance or doctor bills or prescriptions.. Sure, with universal healthcare people like you and me have to wait in longer lines, see less qualified doctors, have a shorter supply of antibiotics, transplant materials, blood, ect. but can't you be willing to deal with that in order to give the poor a way to make it out of illness alive?

I know many christians that are pro-life, as am I, but can't you understand that there are other ways that people are dying in this country? Things that we have a say in, and can abolish or establish much more easily. i.e. universal healthcare: Like I said, can't we take on a few inconveniences in order to save millions of people who don't have health insurance? Iraq war: People are dying unjustly over there also... Poverty: Millions die every year from the effects of poverty in america. Can't we show a little compassion for them also?

Let's stop thinking about ourselves, and actually show genuine love for people that are different than us.

Maybe, as Christians, we should reevaluate things. We sometimes tend to cling to one "movement" or topic and totally forget about the others.



please, if you're going to vote, don't vote parties.





i still can't pick the lesser of two evils, so i'm just not going to.
