The point is that you actually ARE paying for slacker's healthcare through free or subsidized care that government requires from healthcare providers, as part of non-profit agreements, regional hospital agreements, and so forth.
Am I in favor of government run healthcare ? No, I am not. Mostly because I'm convinced that it would be the height of insanity to trust government with my personal health and well-being.
Am I in favor of government acting to reduce the tangled web of red tape, regulation, law, tort insanity, FDA stupidity, and other inefficiencies that help make our healthcare costs so incredibly high ? Yes, I am. Cut the BS, and maybe healthcare can become affordable.
Add another couple of layers of BS, and it will be worse.
