Stabinow's Canned Response - Healthcare
These things do happen. But the point was that there are people in real need out there and you agreed with that. People who play the system need to be dealt with. The system should be structured so it's very hard to play it. It also should be structured so that those that are in real need, those it was designed to help, don't have to play the system to survive. Looking at those who play the system, getting disgusted and deciding not to help anyone is not a viable option in my book. (16 hrs ago | post #155)

There are things that are true no matter what others around you think. Christianity is one of those things. You are trying to distinguish who can argue from a Christian perspective and who can't, despite your denial. It's kind of a Prodigal Son type of argument. I am telling you you have a booger, and although you keep denying it, you continue to tout your right to have it. Again, if you would please think about how you can determine that someone is a Progressive who is using Christianity as a TOOL, you might see that you are making decisions only God should.

You need to demonstrate how you can judge that anyone is a Progressive, and that they're using it insincerely. There are many presuppositions in your argument that are erroneous. (21 hrs ago | post #148)

You are. Your words say that again and again. Progressives have no right to use that argument. You need the beam removed from your eye before you can say who can use what argument. (22 hrs ago | post #139)

I have been pointing out that there are several different ways of looking at this issue, from many different moral standard backgrounds, and I think all of them would say that America is a country that should make sure its sick don't die or go hungry for lack of ability to pay for health care. I am in no way saying there's only one way to do that. I am offended as a Christian at your deciding who is and isn't worthy to speak as one. Again, it's unChristian. (23 hrs ago | post #134)
Stabinow's Canned Response - Healthcare
Nope. The point we are talking about is the right or wrongness of providing health care for those who can't afford it. Someone else took it upon himself to decide who can have what moral ground. It's very clear in the posts. (23 hrs ago | post #133)

Now you've made me mad. You seem to be saying that only conservatives can be Christian. That's unChristian. If I'm wrong, illuminate me. If I'm not, go ahead and get right yourself before deciding who has a right to what position morally. (23 hrs ago | post #130)

You can for the most part 'help' one without the other and the system has been managing that, sometimes successfully, since its inception. It doesn't mean we should stop helping. (Yesterday | post #128)
I take issue with anyone who makes untrue comments and then misidentifies them as sarcasm. Crazy? That's your opinion. You've taken plenty of real shots at me. (Yesterday | post #326)

Your anecdotal examples aren't even on point. (Yesterday | post #126)
Stabinow's Canned Response - Healthcare
No, those are NOT the people I am talking about. Again, I am talking about the working poor. Those you described are mostly eligible for Medicaid. You can give anecdotal evidence all you want, and off point statistics. It won't help the situation. (Yesterday | post #123)

They're avoiding health care and getting sicker and sometimes losing their jobs and dying because they are afraid of the expense. Don't tell me what I believe. I didn't say anything to make you think that. (Yesterday | post #122)
You're not important enough to follow around. And you should read Sarcasm for Idiots, so you can accurately recognize it. (Yesterday | post #302)
