Manowar, I mean no disrespect, but when you are older, life has knocked you around a little more and you realize there are many things that can and will happen to you that are fully beyond your control, you will begin to understand the importance of having social safety nets. Republicans actually once understood this, and I've always figured American Libertarians are just immature Republicans -- so your arguments hold little sway with me. I know one day you will look back on these postings of yours and cringe a little inside.
Personally, I've always thought that having reasonably-priced access to basic health care was something a good, civilized society would do for their citizens. Having many fat-ass lazy friends in the UK, Germany, Australia, New Zealand and Canada -- none of whom would trade their health care systems for ours here in the USA -- confirms my suspicions that we have FUBARed our system here in the USA. Didn't you always think it was stupid that our health care system be tied to WORKING FOR SOMEONE ELSE and was FOR PROFIT? Man, I sure did! I love being self-employed, but since my husband passed away, health care has hulked over me like a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
I hope you never get leukemia, need a kidney or get into a horrible accident that is utterly beyond your control. Even super healthy people can need health care.
