Instead of looking at health care in terms of insurance company profits and national debt (and to those now worried about national debt I ask, "Where were you during the Bush years?"), we should be looking at it in terms of morality. Some comments and questions to get the discussion going:
* We talk about freedom and liberty but are these concepts any good without the knowledge of them and the ability to act on them? Translation: Knowledge = education, ability to act = health care.
* Is our prized independence and individualism keeping us from helping our neighbor? Does that extend to not wanting our tax dollars to go for our neighbor's health?
* Given two people, one rich and one poor, who have the same life threatening, but curable, disease should both be allowed to live or only one?
