[quote=scaredyclassic]I don’t know. Maybe it is awful to have you not have catastrophic ins. I’m sorry. If I had to balance it against preexisting conditions being covered, and I had to decide how I Wang the system to be without knowing in advance which class I’d fall into I think I’d want a larger more inclusive ins. Pool.

Maybe that “COLLECTIVIST BULLSHIT” is another way of saying I’d prefer to see us care for one another. As a matter of principle. Not that Obama care does thst. But it’s an impulse that doesn’t seem evil to me.[/quote]

Scaredy: Except that I never once argued the contrary. Yes, we have an obligation to help those less fortunate than ourselves. I just don’t think the government should be in that business. Stated more specifically: I don’t think the government should be in that business the way the government does it now.

The US Government believes that simply throwing huge amounts of money at a problem is the solution to everything from foreign policy to urban blight.

It clearly doesn’t work, and it hasn’t worked since roughly 1965. You don’t bring a sledgehammer to hunt ants.
