Comment on Three Questions Politicians Must Answer Before They Vote on Obama’s Proposed Government Takeover of Health Care | FreedomWorks by David

First and foremost – the issue being discussed here is not health-care in itself, but methodology — I.e. how do you pay for it. Failure to care for those less fortunate is never advocated in the argument on either side. I agree with you we should not act as spokespersons for particular people or parties, but I will quote people that make good arguments about the issue. A quote does not imply agreement nor endorsement of other beliefs of a particular person. I have quoted Thomas Jefferson although I do not advocate or believe in deism.

Secondly, the money changers when I reread it have nothing to do with charity, or giving. They have to do with the exchange of money for a fee to which a closer analogy today would be foreign exchange which is done routinely for a fee – which would make it wrong. The only way I can connect today’s health-care issue with the money changers would be the profiting from something a people have no control over and I would then see the same problem exists with the current plan to address health-care.

Finally: The Census Bureau estimates that 36 million people are without health insurance — many of them could easily afford it but won’t buy it.

Surely taxpayers could just set up a program for them, require them to have it, and charge them what they can pay. John Fund of the Wall Street Journal ran down the list of the big losers in all this:
1. Young people. (The smallest risk group — and least expensive to insure — will pay.)
2. Small businesses.
3. 8 million holders of health-savings accounts. (Scrimp, save, lose in Obamamerica.)
4. Medicare Advantage.

According to advocates for nationalized health care, the uninsured cost hospitals $34 billion a year in uncompensated care. That’s less than $1,000 a year per person. Having the federal government simply reimburse those costs would drop the price of Obamacare from $1.6 trillion over 10 years to $340 billion over 10 years.

This is very good advice that I also follow. I also now unfollow people who only do quotes or seem to retweet constantly. I want to read either relevant info to me or witty comments. Don’t care much about getting a million followers and following, but not reading, a million people.

You say you are a Christian, and I believe you. I am an ordained minister and theologian. I’ve studied theology for 20 years. I teach Bible. All this to say, we Christians need to stop being mouthpieces for the political right and follow biblical principles instead. There are biblical principles that insist that we take care of orphans, widows, poor people and strangers. For too long, we have lost our way, and instead of listening to good men and women, we are listening to Rush Limbaugh and Karl Rove and Sean Hannity. Jesus would have been horrified at their rantings and your ramblings. Please educate yourself on the real issues. Healthcare reform is the compassionate, loving, Christian mandate. Care about others, rather than your own pocketbook. Re-read what Jesus thought about the moneychangers.

Nope – turn about is fair play — Corporation has every right to attempt to do so, but it is truly bullying since their franchises are independently owned. Owners property and owners sign. The overall intent of the article is actually applicable in my opinion to left, right, liberal and conservatives – be consistent. They never worried about signs they agreed with, but only this one sign.

I do however appreciate your point of view and thanks for posting.
