Matter of Opinion

Obviously, whether a law is constitutional in america is strictly a matter of opinion, in most cases. Supreme Court decisions are more often five four than nine zero. And so it is with this Obama care issue, which, it begins to appear, is, in the opinion of  at least four or five justices, un.

Which really ought not vex supporters of socialized health care. Because there will be socialized health care in america, sooner or later, its just a matter of when. There is indeed a reason why the europeans have it; namely, there would now be rioting in the streets of every major european city without it.

Free market health care, like free market economics, tends to benefit the few, while keeping the many in somewhat less favorable and more precarious economic circumstances. We don't all have to be equal economically, but we do need to be equal in terms of access to quality health care.

Both capitalism and socialism work, when society makes them work. Neither is anywhere near perfect, and they work best when working together, as they do, to a degree, in america. Truly, there is no logic in condemning either as inherently evil, or elevating either to the status of a religion..

Fundamentally, socialism is cooperation, and capitalism is competition. All forms of life are pretty much always doing one, or the other, or both, usually both.

We can all agree that competition and cooperation both work well, under the proper circumstances. What are the proper circumstances? Let the great debate proceed!
