Obamacare and Justice and "Other" Things

Obamacare and Justice and "Other" Things.

The line of arguments presented by Anti-Obamacare proponents smacks of sophistry and selfishness to the core. In a country as allegedly "advanced" and "developed" and "democratic" as the United States, health care should be a right for all of its citizens, even if that requires the better-off to lighten their pockets to help out the less fortunate. The arguments put up by the Anti-Obamacare proponents sound eerily similar to those used by slavery ("state's rights [sic!!!]) advocates in 19th century and anti-civil rights proponents in the 1960's, and these arguments fly straight into the face of basic decency, fairness, and love for fellow men.

A society where inequity exists in an extreme (right now there does exist an increasing unequal access to healthcare in America. Obamacare tries to rectify that) cannot last long. All revolutions start from pent-up frustrations and when enough people say, "enough is enough" and we certainly don't want a bloody revolution in America, do we? Nature does not favor excess. Eventually (that may take a long time), forces will arise and restore balance. Excess gives rise to unbalance leading to breakdown and restoration. Too much of anything is bad. Egocentrism (selfishness per common parlance) is useful for self-assertion and survival, but too much of it, i.e., without being tempered by empathy, will lead to conflict and destruction. A society peopled by all egocentric souls cannot last. At a higher level of consciousness, there is no me nor you. There is only one interdependent us. It's a forgone conclusion that the VC regime as it currently exists cannot last because it is a regime founded on and fostered by injustice and excess. Hegelian dialectic has a point. Society evolves by the circle of thesis, antithesis, synthesis, and back to thesis, antithesis, and so on. There's force and counter-force, not only in physics, but in human affairs and arguments as well. Ignorance mocks at things it does not or cannot understand instead of being willing to learn. 

Admittedly, there is waste in government in America, but that should not be an excuse to be used against Obamacare (which does not involve the government, instead of private insurance companies, to administer and manage healthcare, does it?) which will go down in history as significant as anti-slavery, social security, and civil rights legislation.
