Christian Democrats in the United States
Domestic Issues - Health Care We support the right of all American citizens to receive quality basic preventative care and medical treatment.

When are Christians going to get it? Your religion is being used against you, to thrill you will the lure of feeling personally powerful, and to take your money — not to feed, clothe and heal the poor, but to make the rich fat.
Even the conservative Republican governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney supported comprehensive health care reform that mandates everyone buy some level of health insurance, giving breaks to small businesses so they can help out their employees. This has already started to save Massachusetts a bundle by eliminating hospital overhead costs of treating the uninsured, and will save more because people will be able to get regular preventative care before they get sick.
McCain's plan would undercut Romney's state's regulations and undo all his gains to balance the competing interests in his state. It's not only a deceptive trick and bad fiscal policy. It's also anti-federalist, because it takes control over state issues out of the hands of state governments, and anti-American because it gives that control to private corporations, leaving the people at the mercy of fat, scheming insurance lawyers.
