Explain how my three friends worked their way through med school to be doctors? They were not chosen by the state, each one decided to get up off their butts and but in 16-18 hour days and do it.
You can choose among indifferent mediocre doctors as long as they are on your HMO's list.
Uh. That's idiotic. I work for myself. I do not have an HMO. I have a single doctor and personally pay for Blue Cross (and I still make more than working for a slogging company.) I used to be lazy and work for a mega-corp, but I cashed in on freedom.
And you can overpay for ticky-tacky housing. Yea, freedom lite. Almost, but not quite, worth defending.
Again, you are limited by your mediocre skills, not the government. I bought a suburbia house after college, now I'm rolling the profit from that into building my own house out in the county, where the taxes don't hold me down.
In short, freedom doesn't guarantee success.
Sounds like you are MUCH more in tune with the ways of collectivism than I am.
Well I'm glad you are a happy little drone. Ask your hardworking doctor friends how they like HMOs. Moreover, ask them what HMO policy and various laws require them to report. Confidentiality? Ha! Big Brother knows all about your health.
Would you send your kids to risk their lives for a state that loves to spy on you and stands ready to take everything you ever earned? I will not. And I will not keep my earnings inside these borders. We have a shadow of freedom. It is not worth stubbing my toe, much less risking my life over.
