I really think this is being dismissive of the idea of balance, that I have now mentioned twice.
It is comfortable and easier for you to interpret any attempt of salvaging money as greedy, than it is to admit that maybe, just maybe the tax payer should have some say in where they're money goes. An argument cant be made based on fact, so attack that person morally and try and cause discomfort.
And again, I never said I had no obligation, it is all about balance.
I absolutely believe everyone should be able to get coverage; its how they get it that is the problem. There is no ill will towards those less fortunate.
And they are not on their own, there are charities and organizations that are already in place, long before anyone began talking about universal health care. Both parties have a responsibility to at least attempt to solve problems within an existing budget, before raising taxes, in my opinion. Any idiot can stamp a form to raise the rates; its coming up with a solution without introducing new increases that is one of their chief responsibilities.
