Last time I checked we didn't have Universal Health Care in this country and It's fairly obvious that THAT approach hasn't made for a healthy America, or one where all people receive the care they need at fair and reasonable prices. If free-market capitalists have the right to pursue business ends that result in the fellow citizens getting sick (bad food products, bad environmental standards, etc.) don't those same citizens have the right (Note: Citizen rights) to have access to the care that is meant to treat those illnesses?

Seems conservatives STILL don't want to acknowledge the dilemma that exists between privatized business in America and the poor moral standards that almost always arise in the limitless pursuit of wealth.

You can't have both ways - you can't say "Everybody can do anything to make a dollar" and then turn around say "If what they are doing for dollars is hurting others, it's the responsibility of said others to pony up for the health care."

There are people in this country living next to areas where companies have secretly been dumping waste, etc... Those people should have to take out Loans and additional mortgages to make ends meet when they "mysteriously" contract cancer?

Thomas Jefferson also thought it was ok to have sex with a 12-yr-old black girl and then never acknowledge her once he knocked her up. And that was cool back then. So let's just all agree on his views without any kind of chronological filter.

1. Which illnesses are you talking about? The one where people gorge on Big Macs , watch TV all day and then want others to pay for their costly gastric-bypass surgery?

2. So that renders the Constitution void huh? Loser.

You make some gigantic and unsubstantiated leaps in logic. Your argument is that somehow, those who make profits makes everyone else sick, and therefore everyone is entitled to free health care. You say that yet never establish any evidence or even provide a ration explanation of how every profit maker makes everyone sick. You don't because it's a ridiculous statement that impossible to prove, it's just convenient.
