Why would You care, if we can redistribute income from the drug war to healthcare?It is about opportunity costs; sinking money in healthcare is better than sinking money in a drug war.
Maybe - but it's still "sinking" money. Or rather, funneling it through the insurance industry and then sinking it into their bank accounts.
Because I don't want government in charge of health care.
I guess you are going to be really unhappy when you become a Medicare insured. Of course, you would not have to worry about that if there was no government Medicare program, because private insurers used to decline almost everyone at age 65 and older.
It definitely bothers me. We'll see how it goes, but power gets used. If we give government power over our health care, government will use it to control us. Maybe you imagine government as an eternally beneficial force in the world, but I've seen different.
OH, no, not me! I know for a fact that the only people you can trust are capitalistic entrepreneurs!, like Enron, Goldman Sacs, United Health, United Airlines, and Wells Fargo!
