There's ZERO reason to think that one man should earn the sum of what 20,000 people earn. Government, which represents its citizens, can help with rational safety nets and income redistribution. It's too bad the Republicunts love to exploit people's morals. It was alcohol in the early 1900s. Race in the 1950s and not its gays.
ALSO Ron Paul is retarded.

Privatization would work if the fuckers weren't too busy scraping billions off the top for themselves.
You want to know why healthcare is so damn expensive? Because the CEOs of insurance companies are too busy being paid millions of dollars to sit around and golf all day while deciding which people should be allowed to just die and crying to newspaper editorialists about how expensive it all is but how government insurance will divide the universe by zero instead of doing fucking obvious things like investing in cheap medicine to cut costs. You'd think that if United healthcare could give its CEO two BILLION dollars worth of stock, they could have fucking bought Pfizer in a stock swap and given the drugs away like candy.
Of course, it also helps that expensive healthcare makes people think they need insurance to survive.
tl;dr: government sucks, corporations granted special powers by the government inherit that exact same suck.
