The Trojan horse you speak of is the straw dog of "private pay." I'm already paying for the uninsured. We all are! It doesn't matter what you call it.Scott Endresshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05329824590752344862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245727097686574801.post-607176581905107062009-06-25T14:24:04.735-05:002009-06-25T14:24:04.735-05:00When it comes to buying cars, food, houses or healthcare, Choice is good. As with everything else, when it comes to healthcare, choice has a cost. Let those who want nationalized healthcare pay the full cost of their government run nationalized healthcare. No one should expect to have such a choice subsidized by either taxes or govt. borrowing. Let them pay the cost with annual premuims adjusted for their healthy lifestyle choices, their economical use of services, etc. There should be no legitimate objection to such a system unless nationalized healthcare is only a Trojan horse, a vehicle to advance the cause of quasi-communism. Choice in healthcare is good. Not everyone wants it. If they do not want it, they should not be required to buy it. Let them opt out, just as is the case in many employer provided healthcare plans. If everyone is forced to participate in nationalized healthcare, then integrity requires that one not pretend that anyone has any choice about the matter.Earlnoreply@blogger.com
