Not my system tootsie roll. The system we all have shoved upon us and under that system I'd rather NOT pay for other peoples' self inflicted problems.
For that matter I don't see what moral justification there is for making me pay for other peoples' kids. I didn't have any of the pleasure of screwing them out, and I'm pretty sure I would have remembered if some welfare queen came around and asked if it were OK to drop another litter on my dime.
I'm sure there are many more self inflicted maladies that can be added to the list. Who decides what is and is not acceptable behavior that will allow one to receive health care?
It's all garbage and yes it needs to be jettisoned, however, while it is here, if we begin to go down the slippery slope of denying coverage to subsets of Americans, perhaps that is a trigger that will finally get us to the endgame of government run health care, if not another civil war.
Dictatorships are born under such conditions.
I take it you don’t believe in public schooling?
Do you believe in anything public? Roads, national forests, hydroelectric dams, sidewalks, airports, anything?
If so, what makes roads different from public schools?
