I asked this of a friend today who is very much against any health care reform. I asked, "Isn't it supposed to be 'united we stand?' or is that only when we get attacked? Is it really 'united we stand, unless it could cost me a little bit of money to help you out then you're on your own?'"
I feel the right Vs. privilege thing comes down to taxes. If the government is going to tax us blind then I think it is okay for us to demand some kind of basic free health care. If they actually spent the tax money that they get from us wisely they could easily afford to do this, but alas, that never happens. If they want to lower taxes to a tiny little level, then I have no problem with them telling people you are on your own.
