Never understood the idea that I have a right to something I have not earned. Why is health care different from any other thing I may care to purchase like food and shelter? How does someone's need dictate that I owe them that need, a bit like slavery if you ask me. A personal anecdote is I worked with a person who had a pak a day smoking habit, had cable TV, ate out and drank, but refused to purchase health insurance for her and her son because it was to expensive! I refuse to subsidize and even worse condone this type of behavior with the reward of "Free" health care. Nothing of value in the world is free, somebody somewhere has to pay.
