Until healthcare is a right, then those who do not have it will continue to be a drain on the system. The wealthy will have higher premiums to make up for the discrepancies, and this stupid argument will go on for another 100 years.
What makes paved roads and safe bridges a "right"?
What makes law enforcement a "right"?
What makes fire departments a "right"?
What makes military spending a "right"?
What makes public education a "right"?
I can go on and on. These are all things your tax dollars are already paying for. It is long past time for healthcare to be added to the list. Call it "socialism" if you want to - I don't care. One can easily label Medicare and social security the same way.
