You may not know this but regardless of my financial situation or insurance, If I was dying and went to the hospital, they would have to help me not matter if I could pay for it or not.Also everywhere in the world services such as the police are socialized they have a mandate to protect and serve the people, doctors have the same mandate to protect life and serve the people.
In the end your health care benifits those who can afford it.
Doesn't mean everyone will be healthier, sure it might lead some people to live healthier lives but just like the way it's always worked in america it most likely means that people can continue to eat till they have a heart attack or the people who refuse to wear things like helmets or seatbelts, it just means now that I am paying for people who don't care about themselves enough to take care of them to get treatment.Every person deserves an education, yet that same person isn't deserving of a healthy life unless they can afford the ever growing costs while wages are continually cut? The health of the citizens should be a pillar of a society, just as education and safety are. Though it is funny that no one has issue with federal/state/local controlled fire and police departments, nor public schools -- it is only health care. These are the three most important fundamentals of a society, it is the very reason why villages became towns and in turn became cities. To claim one is poor policy while standing by the others is hypocritical and blatant selfishness.
