You would assume incorrectly. I see it as an "economic problem" that
is a burden for all. I do not see health care as a "right" but I
think it needs to be overhauled so that it can be sustainable.

Would you differentiate those who "can't" with those who "won't?"

It gets tricky when you start using the word "right" and the word
"fair" (I would love to get into those. I think those are two of the
most interestingly defined words)
Just a quick question. Let's say you believe that health care is a
"right." Let's say a person decides he is going to eat nothing but
junk food, smoke and drink, and balloon to 300 pounds. Would you be
taking away his right to do that?

Because the underlying principles and values, not to mention the
unforseen consequences are misunderstood?

I didn't say they were, but I will say I think there should be limits.
Why is it always that the rich can be so easily bled? (I am not rich
at all for the record, I drive a Honda with a 1.5 engine OK? These
are "concepts" here)
