What would Jesus do?

I watched president Obama’s speech last night and as always was very impressed by what he had to say.
What also struck me is how, probably, every one of the politicians so against healthcare/insurance reform claims to be a christian. This is the height of hypocracy. What would Jesus do? Would Jesus accept money from the powerfull insurance companies (basicly legal bribes) to help them take money from the poor and powerless, untill they become sick at which time they do whatever they can to try not to payoff on the policy. and refuse to insure people deemed too risky? Casino’s are pretty greedy, but at least they payoff when they lose a bet. Insurance company’s have spent so much money trying to scare senior citizens, bribe politicians, ect. These are the same people that claim to be pro-life, yet when it comes to making sure that families are able to recieve decent medical care they are more or less “not my problem”.
The bottom line I believe is that this issue is whether powerful corporations can payoff politicians in order to continue cheating and stealing from the people they represent. This reform is not much more, if at all, more expensive then the system in place now, where uninsured have to go to the emergency room for everthing and the cost is, ofcourse, passed on to everyone else.

I do agree with the GOP on the issue of tort reform to eliminate excessive malpractice claims that we also all pay for in the long run.

I also dont think insurance can be mandated without the public option to do so seems like it would just play into the insurance companies hands. I only got health insurance a couple years ago and for the 20+ years I was without it, never once would have put in a claim, thats the customers they want forced to buy insurance.

Just to throw something poker into the blog…. I saw on the news, last night, that four employees at a smaller Vegas card room were in very serious trouble for skimming the badbeat jackpots. I wonder if they came here from another state or what, but you don’t mess around with that stuff in Nevada. They will lock you up and throw away the key for cheating or stealing from a casino in Nevada. I think you can even get thrown in jail for keeping money or chips you find on the floor of a casino, money on the floor of the casino is there property according to Nevada law.
