(The plans are described as "public", "Medicare", and "single payer")
"Support for the public option was strongest among Democrats with 63/64/69"
"far less support among Republicans with only 29/30/12"This is a remarkable split. I am really at a loss to describe it.
But, I am actually interested in a completely different aspect of the health care debate, one driven by what has happened to public education.
When the first public schools were established, they taught what the parents desired (often using the Bible as a school book). At some point that changed. Then, the curricula became outright hostile to the Bible and to Christianity (where teaching creationism is now widely believed to be against the law). Although Christians (albeit largely "cultural Christians") remain the majority.
With abortion, destruction of embryos, and euthanasia becoming such hot topics - do we really want to turn over our health care system to agents dedicated to being against Christian values?
