Universal Health Care

In today's New York Times there was an article that stated; "Most republicans say that they still don't understand how the new health care reform will affect them and their family.  They don't know what it means, but they believe it's bad.  Rush & Co. said so."  I just think this is so sad, a large segment of people have no clue what the health care bill will truly do, but because they are blindly following people who don't want anything our President does to succeed, they don't want it.  Worse, this segment of people are angry, some violently so.  I have just read a narration that basically asked; Why has nothing that has brought pain and suffering to the American people made you angry, but this idea of health care for all has you madder than hell?  So I ask; "Why do the people who care only about themselves and the people who encompass the world they know,  call themselves Christian, or a good American, or a decent person?  They are hardly Christian since the basic premise of Christianity has to do with loving your fellow man and doing onto others as you would have them do unto you.  They are hardly good American as one of the core democratic values has to do with the Common Good; "The public or common good requires that individual citizens have the commitment and motivation-that they accept their obligation-to promote the welfare of the community and to work together with other members for the greater benefit of all.  They are hardly good people because they are selfish and uncaring.  There is no excuse for not accepting this first big step in taking care of all Americans.

Health care legislation has passed, but it faces many obstacles, please don't be among those who want to see it fail just because President Obama and most democrats support it.  Don't be someone who lets their fear of freedom and being able to believe in things you may not, keep you from seeing that this is needed and necessary for this country to survive. We should all be interested in the same thing, a country whose people have no fear of each other because no matter our differences, your being happy and healthy can only benefit me!  Think about it.
