“I actually agree with the left on this one. “

What have you been smoking? What has the gov’t ever done that was efficient?

Have you seen Hillary’s 1993 version of Universal HC? That’s what their vision is. It had fines for any doctor treating someone outside his “network”. He could be fined $250,000 and jailed for 10 years. That penalty was assessed for treating out of network and all sorts of other made-up crimes.

Healthcare is not a right guaranteed by the Constitution. It’s not a function that gov’t ought to be involved with at all.

Take your ideas over to DU. You’ll find them very popular over there.

How about a military?

I'm not a DU-type. I believe in that the Bible is the inerrant word of God. I also believe that free markets usually work better than government interference. But market failure really does happen sometimes, so government intervention shouldn't be rejected a priori. It is an empirical debate and the empirical evidence seems to favor unviersal health care.

I've only been posting to the Free Republic for about three years or so, but its never struck me as a place that does not tolerate dissent.
