Socialized Health Care in the USA

[Jester]

I'm not against Obama per se, but against anyone in Washington (of whatever party) who attempts to further make the USA more of a socialist state than it already has. The trend we need is for people to be more responsible for their own life long well being while they are young and healthy, rather than expect the State to collectively tax the people at a high rate to redistribute wealth (economic vitality) to the less productive, and in this case infirm.

Weren't you arguing not some minutes ago that the state does have a role in doing exactly that, providing for those who are poor ("less productive") and infirm? Or have we now moved past that socialist heresy to the true gospel of social Darwinism?
