How many of them would support repealing Medicare? How many would volunteer or vote for taking away their Medicare benefits? What is so bad about making complete health care, not just emergency health care, available for everybody? There are some things, e.g. military, first responders, infrastructure construction and maintenance, etc. are best done by government; why not health care?

Yes, Obama's dream of a socialist Utopia. Pie in the sky dreams. Why work when the gov can take care of you, right? Gotta love it when liberals, atheists and gays try to justify behavior by using the Bible, Jesus and religion against real believers.
You want the Bible:
2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you:
that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
Matthew 25:29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
The same with:
Matthew 13:12
Mark 4:25
John 15:2
etc, etc.
Please don't try to use scripture to convince conservatives of what you feel is right. Convince us with something that is fair, balanced, logical and WORKS. I've personally experienced socialism in other countries and I have yet to see a country as great as America. Why try something as old as socialism, when we have something in America that allows everyone the opportunity to live the lifestyle they choose? Sure, there is always room for improvement, but it only works when you WORK at it, not expect others to hand their labors over to you, because you feel that they should share. Believe me, Americans are very charitable and generous. We voluntarily give to those in need. We don't need the gov forcing us at gun point to hand over the fruits of our labor.
