nope. taxes are going up on those who make more than 250K...the folks
who benefitted from the recent bubble
So, you are putting a price tag on moral responsibility?

It's a matter of ability. Those who make lots of money have the ability to
pay more. Where are you getting the morals argument? No, don't answer.

I will anyway. I paid for this computer and internet service, Ms. Plume.

Earlier in this thread I made the statement that I believe that those with
the ability to pay have a moral responsibility to help those that cannot
when it comes to life threatening or disabling condition medical care. I
repeat. Medical care.

I do *not* support general tax based programs to provide or subsidize free
health care insurance via private or government insurance programs.

Big difference between the two.

Agreed. Nothing wrong with the status quo a few tweaks won't fix.
Modern technology can help.
I've been supporting Guatemalan orphans for $9.95 a month.
Hope to wipe out poverty there.
I saw the need on a TV commercial, went to a web site, and signed up.
Monthly charge to my credit card.
It's tax deductible.
There should be a privately operated web service where those needing
medical care can sign up, and then those of us fortunate enough to have
discretionary income can browse the internet site and choose who to
contribute to for their health care.
You could do a one-time contribution, or a monthly deal like I do with
the orphans. If money is tight due to boat payments or furrier
expenses, lay off on contributions until you're flush again.
But it's all voluntary.
Charity, not government.

What a wonderful thought. Must be idylic there in fantasy land.
