Many Americans oppose health care reform. It's a question of the "Spirit of the Bill" verses "The Letter of the Bill". Those that favor reform find what's good in the bill. Those that oppose it, find what's missing or what they believe it will take from them.

One of the most recent comments on a post I did on health care reform where I asked people why they would stand by and oppose the 30 million uninsured people  from getting insurance, took my breath away.

The comment suggested that death was inevitable and there was nothing we could do to help the 30 million without taking away the freedom of the 300 million that already had insurance.

That this reform would take away money from the 300 million that they needed, that they had worked for, and that was wrong. It wasn't freedom like this country was supposed to represent.

Is this what freedom represents? Freedom to turn a blind eye to other fellow Americans that have been dropped by insurance companies? Freedom to ignore those that have pre-existing conditions and can not get health care insurance? Is this the freedom that we have fought wars over? That many Americans have died over?

Abraham once asked God if he would spare Sodom and Gomorrah if 10 good and righteous men could be found in those cities. God said he would spare those cities if ten good men could be found.

Can ten good men now be found in America? Has this Depression turned 50% of this country into those that would step over those injured on the floor on their way to the exit of the burning theatre?

I believe this Health Care Reform Bill is a test of what we represent to the world as a people and as America. Are we the country we proclaim to be in the eyes of the world , the shining light?

Or have we become Sodom and Gomorrah, not worth saving? Sunday will tell the future of this country.

If we fail to pass this important protection of our rights this Sunday, we will diminish and go the way of all  once great powers for we will have failed to learn from history's examples of societies that forgot why they were great in caring for all their people.

What do you think?
