Follow-Up...

As I reread my post on the current health care system, I became worried that I may have come across in a pompous or arrogant manner; which I certainly had no intent of doing. My belief that health care is a privilege, not a right, is because our freedoms and the "free market system" that is supposed to exist in "democracy" dictates it as such.

I did not mean to seem like I was bragging that I have great health insurance; I'm blessed, yes, but I certainly don't mean to take that for granted. My point was simply that our government shouldn't take from some to give to others... we, as Christians, should do so without the government's help. I understand that there are many unfortunate circumstances, and I certainly wouldn't ever wish or condemn anyone in any type of situation, I just don't believe that a socialist approach is the way to go.

When Jesus lived as a man on this earth, he was not a rich man by human standards. However, you never saw Him taking from rich to give to poor... rather you saw Him reaching out and helping those less fortunate and that's what I believe we are called to do. We should help take care of the sick and the needy out of our love for Christ who has taught us to love others.

Again, I am truly sorry if my post came across in a rude, demeaning manner... that was not my intent; I just wanted to express my gratitude for the system that is helping me as I go through this "valley" if you will, and voice my opinion against a government run health care system... not to say that those who have not don't deserve to be treated and taken care of.

I can't imagine what it must be like to be in a situation in terms of health when care is out of reach, and my heart breaks for all who have to walk through physical trials in the first place. May God bless all those who suffer as HIS grace is sufficient.
