This morning, while our daughter was having her swim lesson, there was a group of folks in rehabilitive care (care givers and receivers) also using the pool. . . . And I happened to be there with my camera; and as it often does, it produced an image that makes me think.
Look
at the faces of the children in the photo. What do they see? What are they learning?

Seems to me that Healthcare reform should focus upon supporting an infrastructure within which we can care for each other (like the folks in the photo) - not upon who gets euthanized for the good of the collective; or who gets turned into a cashcow for the pharmaceutical / medical / insurance syndicate.
But Comrade Chairman Obama and Co. have other ideas:
[Emanuel, however, believes that "communitarianism" should guide decisions on who gets care. He says medical care should be reserved for the non-disabled, not given to those "who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens . . . An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia" (Hastings Center Report, Nov.-Dec. '96).]
And of course Rahm, Zeke, Obama, and the Neo-Gestapo "communitarians" will get to decide who qualifies as a
"participating citizen".
Would Dr. Stephen Hawking qualify, or would he be forced onto the cart...?
Would you?
Would I?
Matt 25:39-40
39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' 40 And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.
