I Will Not Be Denied

OK, if Universal coverage is not an issue upon which Health Care Reform should turn then what is? Oh, and as we seek insight into issues that are worthy of our efforts, we should let those who get their jollies wasting their time fight over dead horses and demonstrating the quality of intellect that such feats require.

Perhaps the issue is its guarantee of continuity, or that no one can be denied.
Well, I cannot find much in this goal to contend with. Who can argue with letting people who have a health care system that they want and like, keep it? I am sure that someone will come up with numerous reasons for why its not fair that they have health care coverage and that others don’t; but let’s go back to basics. That is not the issue. Keep focused. You must not be distracted by a sleight-of-hand effort, the goal does not require that you take from someone else what they have. The goal is to make sure that you can obtain a system of health care that provides what would be fair under a democratic system which was created to preserve our freedom, liberty and life.

Wait, maybe it’s the requirement that no one can be denied. Yes, that must be it. After all, how is it possible that in a system where all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights, that we would expect that no one could be denied access to a health care system?

I think I will leave the rest of this analysis to the reader. If you cannot deduce the answer, please apply for a hint, I will graciously provide it.Looks like we will need to move on to another facet of this debate.
