Do you think the Government should take money from me at the point of a gun to pay for it?

That's not the point. Do YOU think those who cannot afford to pay their medical bills should be left to die? YES or NO.

When did the 'conservative' position become forcing one person with the threat of fines, prison, and ultimately death if they don't want to provide money of their own free will?

So, YOU think the conservative position should be to let people die for lack of medical care?

I think people deserve to keep the fruits of their labors without a bunch of Nanny State busybodies demanding their money for whatever pet cause it is they think is 'moral'.

So, you consider life a "pet cause"?

That's not the point.

That's precisely the point. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the Commandment is "Thou Shalt Not Steal". Maybe you have a more modern, Democratic version of it than the one I use.

Do YOU think those who cannot afford to pay their medical bills should be left to die?

Who said they should be left to die? I simply stated, quite Biblically correctly, that theft shouldn't be involved in the equation anywhere. That is what your Bible says, isn't it?

So, YOU think the conservative position should be to let people die for lack of medical care?

I think the conservative position is not to countenance theft no matter who is doing or why. It seems you don't. So who's the real conservative in our little conversation?
