That's a great opinion, but it really doesn't matter unless you can support it.

Its appalling that inspite of the century or more worth of thousands of instances of massive gov't failures in virtually all sectors of the society there are still millions of people that believe the gov't is the solution.

What's it take to get through to these people?

Helluva testament to the value of a public education that reduces one to an idiot incapable of thinking.

If you point this out they get defensive and point out childishly, "Yeah?, well its still the free-est country on the planet and if you don't like it you can move to Iran, maybe you'd be better suited there."

None squeals so loudly as the collectivist forced to live by the rules he advocates for others.

FWIW: I won't pay 1 cent toward any form of national health care, period.

Great post, David.

And OMG the left is *still* trotting around their bullshit "50 million uninsured number" on all the tv stations. Nobody ever challenges it, even though it's the most dishonest pack of lies ever told.

In the interest of fair use or playing devil's advocate or whatever, read about what kinds of nightmarish health care the poor and uninsured can receive in a relatively free society: http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig5/johnsson1.html

In your post, you note that "Simply put, a national healthcare system does not fit within our governance model, nor does it fit within our cultural philosophy."

I'd revise that to read, "A national healthcare system does not fit within the metaphysical confines of reality." It has nothing to do with cultural philosophy.

We have a tendency in America to argue for or against a concept based on our own personal philosophy or view of the world, what advances our personal interests, or the interests of our party, family, organization, or region. Perhaps viewing the issue from a management or systemic perspective might result in innovative approaches to the issue. The American national mindset, citizen philosophy, lack of citizen motivation to be proactively healthy, and governance model make the socialization of health care in America very problematic, particularly at this point in time. A country needs to know its limitations.

"And Cohen thinks that we’d be better off by putting these criminals in charge of our health? He is either a liar, a buffoon, or a thief. (Guess where my money is?)"

All three?
