He was a child molester, right? I wonder if nationalized health would cover someone like him, if he hurt himself during "the act"? Hopefully not, as I would not want to be an "accessory" to child molesting. (Cause I paid my taxes and they went towards medical help for a child molester). I do not agree with child molesting, and think that those people do not deserve to be part of our civilized society. But I do not think the Obama health care plan has any provision to limit care to child molesters.

Just kinda thinking out loud here... Nationalizing any sort of business always brings up alot of moral questions. Since you are taking away the ability for a single person to make a business decisions, and giving it to a group of "sub par" democrats, you loose the focus quite a bit. I do not have much trust in politicians, as they generally seem to keep their interests in mind, and not mine...

I just had a discussion about Michael Jackson the other day, how convenient :)
And I will say here what I said then: that guy has changed music forever, his songs, his dances are just awsome, he is a legend. Can't deny that.
Childmolestor or not, in what he did, he was one of those rare talents.

Ow and euh, I don't know what you understand under "justice" but you are innocent until proven otherwise and he was judged by a court...not guilty. Maybe you have no faith in fair trials or maybe your faith in your national health care system is bigger than in your judicional system, but he was proven not guilty by a court, right?

anyway, to answer the question: if you are hurt than you must be aided, that is the main principle.
Personally, if I know a childmolester is hurt by doing his deed, I wouldn't help him, I'd let him bleed and suffer! And maybe the nurse in that situation would think the same if he know what happend.
But when somebody is dying and bleeding or whatever, you do not ask first: did you get this from molesting a child, you first help him!

Is that really your vision? ask first and help later?

I think you are missing the greater picture if you link Health care with child molestor dude.
Child molestor are a fraction (tiny) of society, and you would cancel a system like that because of the fear that a few child molesters are getting medical help? lol don't you think you are thinkin illogical now?

+ if the justice system is good, than those child molestors would be in jail and they would be outside the social system..


PUBLIC healt care, the word PUBLIC means: for the public, the general public, all the people. That is the whole point of the system :)
