I believe if more churchs and charities were involved in helping deathly sick people it would take a lot of pressure of the government.
The charity is the nice idea and does lot of good, but I think it should be the society's responsibility to protect people's life. When the charity have to take the responsibility it means that most unselfish people have to bear the burden and selfish bastards don't have to.
I see the healthcare like I see the defence and the law enforcement forces. Everyone assumes that the government protect his life against terrorists or criminals. How a serious illness makes difference?
One thing I have never understood about Republican Party is that it is at same time very pro-life and against the universal healthcare. Being really pro-life means that you should be ready to accept a principle of the universal healthcare.
My belief is that a person can solve and seek help to their own problems better then the government can. The government tends to screw things up far more then making things better. Their is so much private money flowing we could have hospitals and cancer centers set up w/out using federal monies.
And wouldn't the tax decreases from cutting government healthcare spending give everyone more money? This would make charity donators more generous I'd think.
