Moral Imperative

Social security was created because it was a moral imperative that every senior citizen is provided for, at least at a minimum level. Every working person pays social security first, they may be exempt from income taxes but not from social security. Because it was considered a moral imperative, every working person pays into social security, with the only exception being clergy who may choose to opt out. This moral imperative is so great, that we insist that everybody make a sacrifice so that the old and infirm don’t suffer.

The solutions liberals offer to pay for universal health care are; to tax those who earn more than $500K per year, a Cadillac tax on those who purchase good health insurance, and/or borrow the money and let our grand children figure out how to pay for it. Liberals insist that universal health care be paid for by "the rich", instead of being borne by everybody equally. If universal health care is a moral imperative, shouldn't the payment of universal health care be borne by everybody equally, just like social security?
