Many people say that we have a duty to provide it, and that if it's more expensive, then that's just something that the American public has to accept.<br /><br />This "greater good" stuff sounds great, right? The problem comes when you pin those same people down about how to pay for it. Because those same people aren't always so thrilled about paying taxes (yes, even Democrats don't like paying taxes). And they don't always support legislators that advocate for increased taxes. <br /><br />The other problem is that the greater good suffers when you don't solve problems relating to cost, as JK^2 discussed in his prior post.Net Ghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04035888485467188916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5061836624013476810.post-59331330495545246832010-03-15T07:15:07.650-04:002010-03-15T07:15:07.650-04:00Hmmm, well, AFuss will now respond that you are no...Hmmm, well, AFuss will now respond that you are now taking my comment out of context. My comment responded to your previous article that by demanding that health care do things like not drop people, that health care would be more expensive. And that Democrats weren't answering the question about whether or not we believed health care would be more expensive. So I'll reiterate, if it means protecting people from being dropped from coverage or not being allowed to have health coverage because they have asthma or something, yes, all of our health care should be more expensive. We as a society have an obligation towards the greater good. That's what the democrats are saying.A Fusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122425699996224123noreply@blogger.com
