[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you feel about public schools, OP?
I’m guessing you are also like:
Why should I pay to educate someone else’s child?
Why should I pay for roads I don’t drive on?
Why should I pay for fire stations that will likely never benefit me?
Stop enslaving me to pay for schools, roads, and emergency services I don’t use, waah waah waah

I’m guessing if a poor person breaks their arm, you want them to die of sepsis? Too bad for them, huh.

No, I accept that the democratic process and policies of our lawmakers have led to public schools.  I would vote for public schools any day and support paying for them.  I understand that roads are fundamental to the economy and support them.  Fire stations - the same.  I would even support a bond measure to raise money (weirdly some municipalities rely on volunteers to put out fires, yet provide free housing to illegal immigrants).  I am not opposed to some level of healthcare, but what is provided on medicaid is far above what I would support.  Neighborhood clinics for preventive health and life, limb, and eyesight emergent care seems appropriate - and some program for children who need care and treatment for illnesses.  Definitely not some insurance scheme that enriches for-profit health systems.  [/quote]

Ok but you didn’t say that.
We can agree that providing healthcare is good for society. 
There is a difference between criticizing and wanting to change the system so that is is not longer the “sick care” grift  is much different than just saying no one has the right to healthcare.
