Actually in this case Shemp, liberalism has usurped the role of GOD in determining outcomes (not just in environmental issues). In a free market economy MERIT is the overriding factor with a safety net for the disadvantaged (which both parties have)! As ye sow, so shall you reap! is based on MERIT. The idea that if you don't accept standardized health care for everyone you're calloused or selfish is a red herring argument, the Republicans just feel there is a BETTER way to reform health care, that's all, and one that doesn't compromise on quality, which what the Democrats are offering, certainly will....
