Obamacare constitutional

I thought this cartoon was funny but a little too political for my primary blog:

I stole it from James McGrath.  I am not expert enough to know the full ramifications of Obamacare, a term I don't use pejoratively.  But in general I believe it is good philosophy, as well as good Christianity, for there to be a health care network that is national in scope.

I consider it at least more than a 50% possibility that my father would still be alive if we lived in England, Canada, or Germany.  My father had a serious episode three weeks before his death that in those countries would almost certainly have resulted in a trip to the hospital.  The costs were almost certainly a factor in nothing being done.  Similarly, on the day of his death I believe the 9-1-1 call might have come earlier if the cost of an ambulance and a hospital were not in the equation.
