Thanks,

Thanks for the post and cool analogy. Namaste.

In the verse you’re talking about Moses DOES see God’s glory…. just not his face. God says that his glory is going to pass by, but Moses cannot see his face and live.

In Exodus 16 all of the Israelites saw the Glory of God in a cloud (v. 10).

In Exodus 24 the glory was a consuming fire.

I Kings 8 – And the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled his temple.

Just my 2 cents

Also, have a look at the economic damage caused by the huge number of bankruptancies (spelling?) caused by health problems, many of which could have been avoided.

Society does all sorts of things by collecting fees and taxes, I am not talking about liberal/democrat political differences here, just: “How much do we believe that having an uninsured population costs us in terms of lost income, failed investments, sick hours, production down time, emergency services, crime, epidemics and law enforcement?”. If we as a society decides it is not worth it (neither humanly nor economically) than scrap the idea for all sakes!

I just think that, “a stitch in time”.

By the way, Swedish doctors work very similarly to American doctors, whether private or public. They don’t make life or death decisions, they do their best to help everybody. All the time. To do anything else is illegal, just as it is in America and most other countries.

An interesting aside is your comment that if we have an army, firefighters, etc., whats wrong with having government healthcare. Well, for one thing, the army, firefighters (and libraries and the highway department) don’t interfere with our private lives and they don’t have within their structure the ability to make life and death decisions for us. Its one thing to set up a structure where poor people get help with medical expenses and another thing for government to take over management of healthcare for the whole country, including the rationing of care.

Health care is one system among many, in any country. It is all connected. One thing I don’t get is, if many Americans are so negative to public health care why do the same people often support other publicly founded groups, like the Army, the Firefighters, etc?

Several aspects of public health are in many ways as urgent as firefighting, take for example tubercolosis, drug addiction etc.

Just my ten cents.
