Christianized Medicine
The most recent polls show that the majority of Americans not only want a universal health care program, but they want it funded and run by the government.
The phrase “socialized medicine” still scares some people away. They’re afraid of the word, because we’ve been raised in a culture, which considers “socialized” a terrible thing.
Taxpayers pay for police and fire protection, which are programs that benefit everyone in the society. Health care is provided to every senior citizen, members of Congress and the military. Are those programs socialized medicine? Let’s call universal health care “Christianized” medicine because that’s what Jesus would want us to do. He said that we can’t get into heaven unless we take care of the sick. We need health care, which takes care of every American when they’re sick.
Christianized medicine would be much more economical. We lose hundreds of billions of dollars every year because of all the administrative costs, red tape, and profit that the insurance companies have to make. These are the reasons our present system costs so much. It would be a lot cheaper to cover everyone and cut out the middleman. Does it make any sense for a doctor to call an insurance company representative to ask permission to treat a patient that’s sitting in the doctor’s office?
By any objective standard, Medicare is a better health insurance program than most of the private health insurance plans. Opinion surveys of Americans who have Medicare, show they’re happier with their coverage than Americans with private insurance.
Michael Moore’s documentary “Sicko” tears down every myth we’ve been told about government run healthcare. It’s an important film, which is less concerned with telling you who to vote for than simply enabling you to see through a fog of deception.
