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.

I should have been clearer: It used to be that you'd buy fire insurance from specific groups of firemen. If your house was on fire, only that group would help. If another bunch went down the street, they wouldn't, even if the fire was threatening other houses, and the people you paid were far off or already engaged elsewhere.

Suffice to say, after entire neighbourhoods burned down, someone clued in to the stupidity of the idea.
