Living in the UK, It's always interesting for me to listen to the seemingly endless debate about access to healthcare in the United States and so I read with interest Sarah's post on the issue.
While the debate rages on about what system is the best in terms of health care, I can't help but notice that those who run screaming for the hills at the mere mention of a socialised medical system are the same people who can afford a good medical insurance policy, thank you very much.
My problem really is not what medical system you favour, that's up to you. My problem is the seeming lack of compassion for those who for whatever reason cannot pay for medical treatment for their families.
From where I'm sitting it's not hard to see the hypocrisy of Christian's who would rightly rejoice at the young woman who eventually decides against a termination yet turn their back on her when her child falls ill and she has no money to pay for appropriate care.
