Pictures and videos get the point across like nothing else. We have a Little Sisters in our city--wonderful, wonderful bunch of committed and caring Sisters!

    Dear Technical, I was an atheist daughter of an atheist. Nevertheless, me and my Dad would have supported and admired institutions such as this, as would have most of those we knew who believed like us. We were opposed to utilitarianism.
    As a client and an RN in the UK's NHS, I never had to include government and insurance requirements in my patient care plan. It horrifies me that corporate America is in charge America's health. You should download 'The Jaffe Memo' to see why

    I think that you can apply for a job and check if they offer everything you want or need. If they don't you should go some place else and you should not force the employers to give what they can't due to religious believe or just because they can not pay for it! They should check the houses of the individuals that say they can not afford Insurance and you will see 52" TV's and a lot more of things that I don't have in my house. But I pay for my private health insurance!

    Again, no one has ever shown how the bible says that an organization providing partial payment for health insurance is somehow a sin or otherwise forbidden.

    Basically, they are there for helping the elderly when they are about to die. They are not there for religious activities. Why was not the greatest part of the law and it's one of the things that does need to be fixed in the law it can't be fixed by completely tearing everything apart.

  • @BadWolf162
    @BadWolf162 11 лет назад

    Their purpose is a religious duty, and their staff (besides volunteers) is entirely religious. They assist the elderly find the spiritual, emotional, and physical needs that they require all the way up until their physical death, wherein they assure that the person has had their last rites (by a priest). What is not religious about that? These are religious activities nearly as equally as a church exists to provide sacraments.

  • @RobertFixerSmith
    @RobertFixerSmith 11 лет назад

    Nowhere did I make any mention of the religious choices of the employees. They can do their great work and still follow the law about providing health insurance for employees. If they are under 50 employees, the government will help them pay for it.
    Notice the objections were not financial, they were religious, and I still challenge you to provide proof where the bible says an organization should not provide health insurance to their employees lest it be a sin.

  • @kolar
    @kolar 11 лет назад

    I think the video speaks for itself. They're being political, or letting themselves be used for political ends. Asking those who exclude themselves from secular business to not participate is justified. But if you want to play the game, play by the rules.

  • @cherylgish
    @cherylgish 11 лет назад

    Yes the real need is *social healthcare* so churches cannot keep using this as a tool to benefit their cause and people are free to choose a religious organization or not. How you ask, cut military spending and provide a single payer system for all American citizens. Coming from a Canadian nurse who works in the US.

    Well, a guess if the Sisters don't do that, who will? Where are the family members of the elderly people the Sisters help? And, what make you think that "all employee are catholic"? The same way they accept all religious people, I am sure they accept "all religious employees". My main point is that lots of people say that they don't have money to pay for Health Insurance. But they do have enough money to buy luxury items! That's called: "priorities". Mine: H.Ins. theirs: 52" TV and kind of games

    • @lauraschoenborn3544
      @lauraschoenborn3544 Год назад

      Obama’s healthcare mandate forced them to have insurance provide Birth Control to their employees. But a Catholic religious community, they believe that every human life is a gift from God from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death. So providing Birth Control or abortions to staff will go against their faith. They went to Supreme Court to fight it, and SCOTUS found the ruling unconstitutional.

    First, you are an atheist. You define yourself by what you don't believe. That does't make you "mean", as you implied. The act of "not" believing doesn't make you anything by definition. And you say you are for the Affordable Care Act. Being for the idea of affordable care is one thing - but standing up unreservedly for the Affordable Care Act is a political decision not a compassionate, human decision. Humanism dehumanizes. Faith is a way of life - what is a "solely religious organization"?

    Im sorry what? Sacrificing religious freedom? They didnt make it mandantory to take birth control mate! The only thing they have done is made it to where healthcare must provide it. Its not a religious thing, they are a company the same as any other and they are not exempt from the rules, like it or not.
