Moral Obligations

"We have a moral obligation to give health care to everyone."

I've been getting this line (or similar ones) a lot lately. Liberals like to use it to secure a little moral superiority and attempt to make conservatives look like selfish animals.

Since when does the left support making laws that force people to do what one group thinks is morally right?

Seems to me that the crux of many liberal arguments (abortion, gay marriage, etc) is that one group shouldn't have the ability to force their system of morals on the entire population - especially through laws.

Please tell me - how is this any different?

Hmmmm...I never thought about it that way. You make a good point.
