is this not a paradox you've proposed here? moondog Send a noteboard - 05/03/2010 06:25:08 PM
Making everyone pay for the people who have chosen not to get health care is.


it's ok for the government to allow everyone access to healthcare, but if they decide they want to pay for that program then it's bad?

as a corollary, do you believe in public education? it seems to be the same model you are against: education is universally accessible but using taxes to pay for that access is apparently bad by your logic...
