“I prefer the concept of paying one’s own way. Those who don’t take care of their own health or don’t pay for their own care should take what our society is willing to give them.
No one is put on ice floes. That is the kind of hyperbole liberals used to sell socialist schemes. That really irritates me.”
Therein lies the problem. Nobody can truly pay their own way except for the very rich. And I agree that healthcare is not a “right”, maybe it is just the right thing to do.
Then imagine the clowns in the Capitol Building in charge of the purse strings of everyone's health care.
