Why the ObamaCare Ruling Stinks

25. It's easy to disparage our medical system and the importance of healthcare

Until you need it. I agree that too many doctors ignore or are unaware of the importance of nutrition, correct breathing, the nature of our thoughts and prefer the simplicity of just prescribing a pill. We must be able to evaluate their advice and make well-informed decisions in our own best interest. If you disagree with their prescribed medication, refuse to take it. Seek a different doctor.

However, there are many times when the medical system plays a critical role in saving lives. Consider car accidents, occupational accidents, fires, disasters and the valiant, coordinated efforts to save the lives of those affected. Or broken arms, detached retinas. Instead of trashing our system let's see the merits first. Establishing a foothold for national healthcare coverage was the most difficult part. We can see this by the bitterness that it has engendered in the opposition -- in people who care more about money than about the well-being of others. As we improve as a society the healthcare law will improve. Right now it is insurance-based. It will evolve as we evolve. Think back on the vitriol, the fear-mongering of the last few years and honestly ask if a better law could have gotten through Congress. We have the concept of universal healthcare coverage now established as law. It's up to us to improve it.
