No offense Max, but your health care means absolutely nothing to me. I wish you the best in it, but your own personal decisions will affect your own health status, and there's absolutely nothing I can do about it. It is your own personal domain and personal responsibility. Hypothetically, I don't want to pay for it for you unless I have a say in your behaviors. Maybe taxpayers who shell out for you can have a say in your diet, mandate an exercise program, deny you the ability to smoke or drink, and anything else that would preclude my investment in your health from becoming a bad "investment". Of course, that is all a hypothetical. But I'm hoping the point is made. I don't go to work every day to pay for your personal life. If you disagree, do you think the taxpayers owe you some sort of Universal Auto insurance plan as well? What else do you feel the taxpayers owe you? If you can argue personal health care, the same illogic can be made for anything?

Beautiful Sea Demon....just beautiful!
I think you nailed it right on the head how I feel about universal healthcare at my expense. Why should I have to pay for Joey the ditch digger who finds it fun to fight every Friday night and get sewn up in the ER every Saturday morning? I should not have to.
