Pro-Birth or Pro-Life?
Sadie Fields from the Georgia Christian Alliance has been consistently out spoken about the rights of unborn children. Sadie has made it clear that pro-choice Americans are supporting a parent’s the right to murder a child.
Yet when it comes to the welfare of those children fortunate enough to be born, Sadie is willfully blind to how denial of needed healthcare could result in death for the child or the mother. How can she be so outspoken about a child’s right to be born, yet so quiet about a child’s right to life-saving healthcare?
I am shocked that Sadie rejects proposals like those from Mitt Romney and Hillary Clinton that require everyone to buy health insurance (similar to the requirement to buy car insurance). Why isn’t Sadie screaming for healthcare solutions that make sure every child is protected and parents are held responsible!
Instead, Sadie fights for unborn children, but then shamefully quits the fight after birth-which accounts for only 4% of childhood.
The Truth about Healthcare
The problem is the intellectual dishonesty of lawmakers from both parties. In truth, we already have a dysfunctional form of socialized medicine, consisting of programs like Peach Care and “free” healthcare from hospital emergency rooms.
The bottom line is this: as fewer and fewer employers provide health insurance, fewer people actually contribute to the system. This is a recipe for cost increases, tax increases, declining quality of service, and ultimately system-wide bankruptcy. That is, unless we take action to increase the number of people paying into the system.
That is why I support mandatory-pay health insurance for people who can afford it. We cannot continue to have a system that burdens tax payers and people who do buy health insurance with the costs for people who choose not to.
Children Win When We Create a System That:
- Lets employers and individuals have the option of buying into the same public health insurance plan lawmakers, vets, and federal workers receive. This would create public vs. private competition-let’s see who wins (my money’s on private insurance).
- Eliminates all exclusions for pre-existing conditions, which would encourage money-saving preventive medicine. Most experts agree that each dollar spent on preventative care saves ten dollars down the road.
- Provides some public assistance for those people that can’t afford to buy health insurance for their children or themselves.
- Requires people making poor life-choice behaviors (i.e. smoking, drug addiction, obesity) to pay a bit extra-giving them an incentive to improve their health.
John,
So your plan does not solve the problem, it only exacerbates it by getting government more involved. Why do you support more government regulation?
The alternative is tough love which is what should be done. President Bush took the first step with his veto of the politically motivated, bloated SCHIP bill this week.
Do you think single women should get pregnant knowing they cannot afford to have, much less raise a child? If yes (which I know to be the answer based on your position), do you think it is my (taxpayers) responsibility to pay for the illegitimate offspring of the irresponsible woman?
Bart,
You said,
And yet support forcing her to have the child.
I do not get it?
John –
Please read this carefully. I’ve repeated it more than TWO dozen times by my count but you refuse to pay attention. Here goes…….
ROMNEY’S PLAN IS A STATE, REPEAT, STATE PLAN. NOT A FEDERAL PLAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What about that do you NOT get? Are you being intentionally stupid or are you just ignoring the facts?
Stop spinning the issue into something it’s not.
You are the most annoying person on this blog. At least the others don’t re-hash the same old crap over and over.
bb –
Your post is completely valid. John is his usual moronic self. He keeps comparinig car insurance to health insurnace and there is little, if anything, to compare. I think John thinks if he says something over and over, everyone will say “gee, John, that’s a great idea!” “Why didn’t we think of that?”
Keep with it bb. We need to stick together. These loons are on the wrong sidwe of virtually every issue.

I guess living in Southern California has given me a skewed perspective on who gets free medical care (everyone, legal or otherwise). And please understand that I agree that the medical system is broken. However, I disagree with the argument/attack you made. Why not make the argument about immigration and health care?
Aroc
I think it is both.
News Hound
You are for the plan if each state agrees?
JohnKonop
Right, you just deftly masked it with an attack on Sadie Fields.
Aroc –
NICE ONE!
John – It should be a decision of the People at the STATE level if they want to do it and it should be up to the residents of the state to PAY for it.

Are for the plan or not?
Aroc
I do not get your point. BTW if Sadie wanted to write why I am wrong about her position on healthcare via being pro-life I would post it!
John
NO NO NO NO. Does that answer your question?
As for you last remark to Aroc, you are just a big fat hypocrite!
Sadie has too much class to even give you the time of day.

Do you think Romney is a liberal since it was his healhcare plan?
This was a letter!

Are you pro-life or just pro-birth?
Globalization and Free Trade have made a mockery out of the Free Enterprise system and have destroyed local value added economies that provided the extra services a society needs such as health care. We have created a working poor class in the USA that are outside looking in at the celebration by the Free Traders and Globalists.
Free Enterprise should be a simple process without all the manipulations going on in both the private and public sectors. It’s all about making or growing something and adding a reasonable margin on the venture for the owners and the workers to enjoy a decent living.
Free Trade is about moving production from place to place for the sake of cheaper labor. Adam Smith held labor as something sacred and the core of all societies. The workday has to be in balance with its local or regional geopolitical setting. Otherwise there are breakdowns in the community as we see today.
We have a retail economy now where workers who work at places like Walmart, need government assistance to survive.
When the Free Enterprise system is misused and we live off a working poor class in the USA and an impoverished working class outside the USA, you can not expect any society to function right or to function independently from the government. The government only steps in when the Free Enterprise system is abused and fails.
Universal health care is a bad choice but it becomes necessary when our local economies are all chopped up and shipped out across the globe. There is no such thing as a perpetual motion economy and it all begins the old saying – you can pay me now or you can pay me later but you will pay. We have taken tariffs off products, moved former middle class jobs outside the USA and in the end have put tariffs on work and labor.
The right to life is a basic right we all have no matter what. It is a right in any economic process good or bad. The first thing all should try to do is disconnect the “survival of the fittest” mode and restore the real American Dream for all in the world.
How can anyone expect any good to come from the value of stock increasing based on workers getting fired instead of hired. Productivity is related to cutting workers out of the process. This doomed to failure across the board.

[...] As most of you know I have said SCHIP is a band aid on a gushing wound, with that said people debating the issue should use facts not hype. USATODAY-Defending his veto of a plan to expand the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), one of President Bush’s most effective lines has been that the measure would extend benefits to families earning as much as $83,000 a year. [...]
[...] If I follow Congressman Price’s plan this is the first step toward Free Healthcare for all. If we first pay for catastrophic healthcare, it is only time before pick up the whole tap. No one debates preventive medicine is cheaper than just doing catastrophic which will lead to full coverage in the future. I think Tom’s heart may be in the right place on this issue, but if we do not make people pay something how can we afford this? My solution of mandatory pay for those who can afford it and partial payment based on income for people who cannot is tuff medicine but is more realistic. [...]
