Universal health care WITHOUT EXCEPTION has turned out to be universal health care rationing wherever it has been done. Canada and the UK come readily to mind, and Washington state’s version that offered a patient that they would pay for “Dr. assisted suicide” (euthanasia) instead of more expensive treatment. Thank you, I’ll fend for myself!

I think your reply is worthy of further comment, which will be in a later posting.

By the way, as an educator in one of the lowest paying (small rural) school districts, in the state with the lowest average teaching pay scale, I am FAR from being in the “investment grade” world.

Which “responsibilities of adulthood” am I rebelling against?

“Moonbattery”? You’re the one who sounds detached from reality, feeling the need to cast the people who disagree with you as mentally deranged rather than dealing with them as real fellow citizens. Always easier to build straw man, isn’t it?

Liberals are the ones willing to pay taxes for what the government does. I advocate universal health care, and I’m willing to pay the taxes to cover every citizen, even you. (Besides, it’ll be cheaper and better than the insurance premiums I’m throwing away on executive salaries.)
