Concerning "Health Care"

It is not your responsibility to pay for my medical expenses nor my responsibility to pay yours.

There you have it. 
There is nothing in the constitution that speaks about anyone's right to have a certain level of health care.  Certainly nothing about the government having a responsibility to be involved in health care. 

The Bible says nothing about the matter being a responsibility of those who rule over us.

Now we currently have a quite a mess on our hands.  Many that are over 65 are receiving some sort of subsidized health insurance in what is called Medicare.  I refer you to my opening statement. 

What very few want to deal with is this.  Many, from age 40 to 60, live a sedentary life. The result is much weight gain, which results in a much more stress on the body.  So that those in their 60's and 70's find themselves facing many health issues.  If you have the means to afford the health care, that is fine.  It does not affect me if you spend a lot of time in doctors' offices.  But don't make me pay for any of it through some type of government system.

So are you outraged at this new Obamacare because it won't be as good a system as is currently in place.  Or are you against it because you are against the government having anything to do with healthcare?

  2. That's right, as a mere citizen you are not responsible for another citizen but as a follower of Christ you are responsible for others. Though the Bible does not say anything specific about Healthcare it does say a lot about taking care of widows, orphans and aliens who cannot take care of themselves. We ARE responsible for them. and by the way,
