			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;re having a lively debate here at the Avocado Jungle on the limits, if any, to profit. Is it okay to profit off of the poor and sick? Is there a need to regulate such ideas? Are there things we should just do for one another so that everyone benefits equally? </p>
<p>In this current debate on Health Care I&#8217;ve been rather surprised by the resistance from the conservative right to providing universal health care to the country. And with out getting into the politics of it too much I am curious how people of faith view the concept of Universal Health Care. I have always felt that if someone is starving you feed them, if someone is dying you try to save their life. Now I do not take this as meaning you can not charge for basic services but should you profit off of it? Is it okay that someone made a profit off of someone dying of cancer? Or if someone made a profit off of texts to raise money for something like Haiti Earthquake Relief? </p>
<p>I personally feel that there is a fairly clear moral and ethical line that should not be crossed. Feel free to read and join the discussion here at the <a href="http://avocadojungle.com/2010/03/the-avocado-jungle/avj-writers-debate-profiting-off-the-sick-and-poor">AVJ Writer&#8217;s Debate</a>.</p>
