Well, you see, right there is an irreconcilable difference between a compassionate person and a non-compassionate one

Easy for you to say. Are YOU going to pay for this "compassion"?

Easy to be compassionate when it's other people's money helping you out.

No one here wants anyone to die or be without care. But sticking your head in the sand and whining about "feeling" and "compassion", still doesn't answer the question of who is going to pay for it.

I don't want anyone to die from lack of treatment, but I'm not naive enough to ignore the fact that medical care costs money. Insurance companies are a business, not a charity. Government is not a charity either. In both cases, I myself will pay higher premiums and higher taxes because of people who think insurance companies and government should be more "compassionate".

Not about being cold hearted, but understanding the reality of life and the way the world works.
