if you see all of life in society as combat, struggle and conflict, with winners, and losers, havign universal health care just seems like a pussy way out, like, everyone wins and gets to get health care.

wouldn’t it be more american, more capitalist, to let people fight it out in the marketplace, and the winners in the top 20% say of income can get really amazing care, and the middle people can get a little bit of care, and the bottom gets nothing, not one lousy thingnot even a bandaid…because they lose. they lost.

isn’t that at least a reasonable position to take?

how are we going to motivate people to win if we keep losers alive? people will just loll about and eat govt cheese and get govt bypasses….
