The Obama-Biden Health Care Plan
by Oskar
We think about those who can't work due to an illness. Let's use the story of a cancer patient. They have no insurance, and they're dying. They might live if they had health insurance.
What if they have cancer, but were laid off from their job? Their debt of medical bills have already eclipsed the amount of house payments, times 4, and growing. Now they have been laid off. They are either going to die; or die broke, and possibly homeless. Let's say that was your Mother. Your Father. Your Sister. Your Brother. Your drinking buddy. Things are not as simple as just working hard. Opportunities present for the few, are not the same for all. Recognizing that, is called having a "world view". We are the ones who consider what is meant by caring for the better good of the whole, rather than for maintaining the privileged; without self-preservation. It's called being selfless outside the boundaries of religion. It's what separates conservatives from liberals.
