My take on health insurance and other govt organizations

I was asked what I thought of the health care reforms that are possible and should the government become involved.

My first thought is this: we as a country have become more and more a country following the Utopia "dream" I say dream because that's what it is. Basing our life and future on the ideal that takes the humanity and free-will out of the equation. Really going to have to unpack this one. Been reading Chuck Colson's book "How Now Shall We Live" There is sections in there on health care and other current topics that are controversial and this book was written 11 years ago. Yet it could have been written today for how prophetic it is.

This pipedream that our current leaders of our country have bought into, is just a new and improved version of Utopia. The idea is flawed in that people who believe that if conditions are correct and people taught correctly then Utopia will occur and that if Utopia doesn't occur that the system and thoughts just need a little tinkering with. The reason or one of the reasons that system is flawed is that utopia removes personal responsibility and moral compass from equation and tells the people to rely on system and government to "save" them. Throwing more and more government run agencies to create utopia doesn't create desired result, just separates people from ownership of what is given them. For example, government provided housing, supposed to create personal utopia for people living there, but instead separates them from ownership and they don't take care of property, protect the neighborhood from undesirables like drug dealers and criminals. So much for utopia. To me, and this is my opinion and only that, people seem to thrive under more moral responsibility and ownership of what they do, than to not have that at all. Probably has to do with the way God hardwired us or something.

Think on the controversial topic of abortion for a sec and how much government has "improved" that sector of life, bit ironic there, that abortion is a section of life or the ending of it rather. Think one of major reasons that abortion has not been re-outlawed is that we strip or allow the stripping away of the humanity of the baby being aborted. Now it might be a fetus or unwanted "complication" that needs to be dealt with. Nothing more. Kind flys in the face of what we are all pursuing according to the constituition of "Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" Eliminates that as an option for the baby being aborted, doesn't it?!?

This is why utopia will never work, those being brought up to the level of the rest of society are thought of as victims of circumstances, people holding them down...and all other excuses that people give as to why they don't succeed in the system provided. Again, if current system or idea doesn't work, then government throws another idea at people, continuing to not require personal moral responsibility from people being "helped" If system is flawed then throwing as many programs at people will never work, no matter how much government hope it will.
