Why Obama stopped talking about values and health care reform [View All]

He didn't have much choice, because the fundamental values underlying current "reform" are the vilest and most despicable our culture has to offer. No other developed country, even those working through regulated private insurance, has more that ONE basic comprehensive plan. True, supplemental plans are available for those who want more, but the fundamental underlying value iw that everyone is entitled to a basic comprehensive level of care.

Contrast the "exchange," with multiple levels of plans, the lowest level only paying 60% of health care costs. That is the only one eligible for subsidy. The underlying value is that people have no inherent worth at all--the only health care they deserve is what they can pay for. If you don't have the money to pay for higher levels of coverage, you are worth less as a human being. People are nothing, and sick people don't deserve care if it interferes with insurance companies' use of them to make a buck.
