Health Insurance and the American Character
The news of the passage of the health care insurance legislation is disturbing. How good a thing is it if the Senators who voted for it did so because of the things they were able to get the government, our government, to give to their constituents? The Senators votes were for sale and the votes were sold. Once again I am impressed by the lack of integrity, honesty and character of political leaders in the United States. It is business as usual, government benefits for sale. Our system is not based upon reason. It is not based upon what is right and what is wrong. It is based on power and how much a person will sell his power for. We are a culture based upon the ethic that the “end justifies the means.” We simply do not know any different these days. Our world is a judgment of power, not a judgment of justice or morality, or right and wrong.
