I can't stop laughing long enough to formulate a rational reply to that.

I'd rather trust myself to spend my health care dollars as I see fit.

I think government is best at taking other people's money and spending it less
desirably than those who earned it. Most people agree with me, judging by the
tiny number of people who voluntarily pay more taxes. But believing you know
better than others how to best spend their money is apparently quite seductive
to many people.
