Govt Health Care

Tax supported national health care programs are a really horrible idea..

Why should responsible citizens who eat right, exercise, and take care of themselves have to bear the same burden of the national bill as those who smoke, drink, and eat like shit?

The beauty of the free enterprise system and a free market, is that people's actions affect THEM.  Having the community foot the bill for people's health care is a departure from a society with a healthy respect for individual accountability.

That which you so callously refer to as "dog eat dog" can really be said in a single, much more accurate term:  freedom.

A rose by any other name is still a rose. You'll have your "freedom", and all the pain when others exercise their "freedom" against you. It's just another sort of tyranny; you didn't think that "freedom" would come for free, did you?

This idea is one of the most revolutionary in all human history

Wow, you've really drunk the kool-aid. This idea isn't new at all, nor revolutionary. It's just that the more intelligent of our ancestors decided that giving up some of their freedom so they wouldn't be eaten by the next saber-tooth cat was a good idea (those that didn't were dinner).

I realise that Hobbes and Rousseau are beyond you, but you really ought to learn a bit more before showing off your ignorance.
