Won by one

Yet even more benefits of socialized medicine, courtesy of The Times:

A RETIRED businessman died of a suspected heart attack just 24 hours after his heart operation had been cancelled at the last minute.

The day after John Mosley, 65, died a nurse phoned his widow to give her a new date for the operation.

“Oops, sorry, your operation has been cancelled. Have a nice day.” Not that the odd operation doesn't get cancelled here is the US, but unlike our friends in Canada and the UK, people that need heart operations and know about them, typically get the needed operations long before it’s a life or death thing. Even the half-socialized medicine practiced in the US is far superior to fuller versions demonstrated by those neighbors; and proposed by Hillary in her health care system, circa 1993.

Of course in the US there would be a benefit to this type of medicine. The young would theoretically be in better shape, and the old would die off before they collected much of their social security benefit. Thus saving all kinds on money.

All societies that move away from individual rights to group/corporate rights loses the respect and honor of the individuals that are alive, for the benefit of the group. So we ought not be surprised when we see the same groups that advocate for a socialized medicine also advocate for abortion. That this corporate advocacy is propagated by some Christians is an abomination to our LORD. God always deals with us as individuals. The Psalms says that he knew us in our mother’s womb, and that he chose us before the foundations of the world. Those are not claims to a group, but to each individual person that become part of that group. We are obligated to pursue a more Christ like view of our world, where we deal with the world; one by one.
