Here is an interesting point of view:
I would press for universal health care. It’s ridiculous that the richest country on Earth can’t provide first-rate health care for our people. I would put forward a comprehensive health care program and fund it with an increase in corporate taxes. I’d strictly regulate the pharmaceutical firms to end these 500% profits on drugs that are cheap to produce. I like the Canadian system, although their health care is not the best. If you combine their system with the quality of our health care, we could provide cradle-to-grave health care for everyone.
We could. And then you are under control of the federal government, since there is little you do in life that doesn't relate to healthcare: What you eat, how much you weigh, if you smoke, or what you're allowed to smoke, how much exercise you get........
If you like your life being controlled by politicians, go for it. The rest of us refuse to surrender our liberty.
