I still don't get why it should be the responsibility of others to pay for my medical expenses, nor do I understand why health care is considered a right to a large portion of society. I understand there is that portion, and while I don't belittle that viewpoint, I don't understand it. I suppose paying into a government system is not that much different, but i'd rather ahve a business that is competing against other businesses for my money having a say rather than the government. I don't think the giovernment manages well the responsibilities it already has. I don't want government mandated exercise programs (though I exercise daily) or any other government requirements determining what I must or must not do to receive benefit X.
I've been mulling over going deeper (it keeps getting longer the more I re-edit), but I won't. We've been down the road of medical care and insurance before.
