Unfortunately you mistook my intentions as being condescending.<br /><br />Perhaps you will not misunderstand the link this time.<br /><br />There has been a fair bit of research on the science of morality. Since I come from a science background, that is the angle from which I share links. <br /><br />I understand there are obviously less scientific, more philosophical thoughts on morality/moral matrices... And to be fair, the science and philosophy do not disagree all that much.<br /><br />But that is another topic altogether<br /><br />Be wellThaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00700253024420397221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427940.post-87729046887060189862009-11-22T00:09:12.599-05:002009-11-22T00:09:12.599-05:00Thank you all.

We may ...Agree with MOM that this is a great post.<br /><br />We may disagree around some of the issues inherent in a system of universal coverage, yet I truly see your point and see our differences as an an outcome of our slightly different moral matrices more than I do as any specific criticism with your particular value system.<br /><br />It is indeed a tragedy that the only way we can cooperate on this issues is to spend even more $. And please understand that I say this knowing I will likely personally benefit from the current proposals (remember where the uninsured seek care- i.e. the Emergency Department)<br /><br />I guess it is simply in the nature of such issues.<br /><br />Perhaps we will one day come to agreement on the simple fact that there are limited resources and we need to prioritize.<br /><br />And again, as MOM said first, nice post. <a href="http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0196064409009330" rel="nofollow">Even where we disagree</a>.<br /><br />Be wellThaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00700253024420397221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427940.post-42128878546076916422009-11-19T18:29:01.612-05:002009-11-19T18:29:01.612-05:00One of your best posts ever.
