Why not have people take personal responsibility to educate their kids and not have the taxpayers cover that? I can't believe we as a society can't view healthcare as a right, not some privilege. Education is a right, so why not healthcare? You actually could die without healthcare, and where then is your life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

Um hello, homeschooling? Santorum is all about it. *shivers*

freedom is risky....for winners....like the USA.

centralized government...is safe....for losers...like Russia and France.

losers always want to move to the winner places....and they bring their loser traits with them . prosperity without risk is a losing game for children. reality is hitting europe now. they have been rendered weak and toothless. nobody cares what their stupid feelings or opinions are, they can't even defend themselves.

I would like portable plans but I want interstate plans regulated federally. I don't want people buying crappy plans out of Nevada and costing the state of Virginia a ton of money.

Not a bad point. What happens to individual state's mandated health benefits? Would a Nevada plan have to comply with Maryland's 40 or so mandated health benefits (like birth control, for example)? I would hope so. Of course, that would make it more expensive....
