The government is supposed to treat all it's people equal. And yes, a government plan would have equally bad coverage for everyone. But it really doesn't matter because it is not the role of the government to provide health insurance. The whole premise is wrong. I agree that Government would not ordinarily be thought of as the provider for health coverage, or car insurance, or retirement income, or disability income, or surivor benefits, or.... The list goes on. The point is that people need all of these things and for various reasons there are those that cannot get them in the free market. "We The People" means us. All of us. And yes, we are our brother's keeper to an extent, because we have agreed, to provide for the common defense. Let's say a terrorist releases a toxin in a community water supply; Do we go to the town's Mayor and say "You deal with it", or do we look to the Federal Government to supply the anti-toxin or antidote? Government health care (as some want to call it) is not a radical idea.
