Re oomis’s 4th comment: It is regrettable that your drug costs have gone up. I do not know whether the price rise is caused by Obamacare or something else. My point is that if, as Americans, we all agree to provide health care for all, as the Torah commands, no one will suffer financial ruin because of medical bills, and everyone will have access to good medical care. Some of the details need to be fixed, but Obamacare follows and supports the fundamental Torah principal.
Re zahavasdad’s 2nd comment: I interpret your comment as complete agreement with mine. Yes, it is hard to raise $50,000 from the readers of a small web site, and easier to raise the same amount from 200,000,000 taxpayers, which is exactly why government-funded health care works so well in Europe and will work in the US when its ideological and political opponents get out of – or are pushed out of – the way.
