i would agree with brianna.
the implications of american health care is in fact that the lives of the children of the wealthy/well-employed are worth more than the lives of the children of the poor/underemployed.

the present system is barbaric.
that there are people who would argue for it out of fear of the possibility of a more equitable health care system is beyond my comprehension.

the statistics above are but one index of the effects of the radical disparities of economic class in the states.
these disparities cannot be wished away by the right, cannot be attributed to individual choices, cannot be made into an index of morality.

these are systemic problems.
the right has nothing to say about them.
