But not in America.

I heard an argument today. That we Americans are immoral. When it comes to health care. That other rich nations started with the premise that health care is a moral issue. That it's morally imperative that they provide health care to all of its citizens. Rich and poor alike. Yes, universal coverage. Every rich nation, except the U.S., made it a moral issue. We Americans, meanwhile, don't care that much about our neighbor. If we have adequate health care, that's good enough. To heck with our neighbor. To heck with the common good. Other nations asked, what's the morally right thing to do? And then they found ways to do it. But not in America. Because that sounds too much like socialized medicine. --Jim Broede
