If you don't understand the difference between the enumerated powers,
local responsibilities, and the government takeover of private enterprise
then there is no reason to even attempt discussion on the topic.

Health care should apparently not be private, at least not until greed
is removed as a component. It is a human/societal need, not a Rolex.
No different from the fire department. But to be perfectly honest, I
wouldn't trust the *******s you people elect in this county any
farther than I can toss them either. It's a no win situation either
way.

I'll be damned if I'm going to allow the government to force me to pay
a bunch of avaricious for-profit institutions of ANY sort, for any
reason. Been through this with thieving auto insurance companies and
the legions of parasites and pettifoggers who feed off that particular
mess. And if this turd of a healthcare bill passes I'm leaving. I'd
go to Canada, which has a far more equitable system that this place
but I despise cold. For me, that leaves down under. If that makes me a
socialist, then so be it.
