cba123 seems to believe he/she has a constitutional right to steal from me and others to pay for his/her healthcare costs. There are a lot of issues with healthcare (tickerforum.org covers a lot) that will drive costs down with a market based solution but any type of system that involves government is just going to bring the country further and further towards bankruptcy. The US gov’t already spends 10% of GDP on healthcare - which is what fully socialized healthcare costs in Canada and Europe. We are not getting a very good bang for our buck.
No doubt.
