I have posted on this subject many times before ... how can a country that considers itself (through the exertion of political and military might) the moral centre of the universe have MILLIONS of it's citizens uninsured?
I would argue that healthcare reform is a political/economic issue rather than a moral one. If we were letting people die in the streets, that's a moral issue. Despite what some would have you believe, this isn't happening--or at least, we're doing our best to prevent it. Medicaid is the best emergency care insurance in the world.
