If government control of health services is good for society then
government control of all services is good for society.
Hey, what ever happened to choice? For those that feel the need for
government to manage their lives, say at 18 or 21 make an election.

In the absence of a national health plan in this country that covers
everyone, health insurance should be mandatory. How that health
insurance is provided is another question.
Unfortunately, we have a private insurance system whose goal is not to
provide good coverage at good rates, but to maximize profits, and, as
necessary, the patient be damned. Perhaps, someday, we shall outgrow
that sort of nonsense.
The citizens of most modern countries don't face bankruptcy when a
medical crisis arises. Too many Americans do.
Since World War II, we've wasted trillions of dollars on maintenance and
expansion of our military. If we had saved half that amount and spent it
on infrastructure, on investments in our futures, on health care for all
our people, we'd be a far stronger country than we are now.
You are such a dumb ****... "Infrastructure, investment in our future"?
Sure, we have heard all that before, no solutions, just talking
points... dumb ****...
More investments in infrastructure, on investments in our future (you
know, science, technology, factories that produce goods people need,
health care), et cetera, leads to a better country for all with more
opportunities. I'm not surprised you don't understand that.
Free enterprise will supply you with what you need. And if you don't
want what they offer, then you don't have to pay for it.
But with government, you become a slave because whether you want it or
not you will pay for it.
Never let anyone or any organization get any more control over you than
need be. That includes governments, as governments start wars, tax grab
from you for the lazy and the corrupt. In reality, big government is
big slavery. After K12, basics roads, sewer and common law, the rest is
pure waste and corruption. Pork for the rich and corrupt.
With infrastructure, very little of todays taxes goes there. Very very
little. Got money for war, got money to meddle in every countries
business in the world, got money for corruption and corporate bailouts
-- but no money for medicare....
I rest my case. Because government is already out of control and the
very thing you worship is the very thing that keeps you down.
