Seems to me everyone agrees that everyone should have healthcare. Seems to me it makes sense that SOCIETY should ensure that it happens. Seems to me that any attempt to have PRIVATE insurance companies "broker" the deal between a patient and Doctor is like asking some-one to "please steal 30% of my money". Seems to me if anything should be "socialized", it should be health insurance - Medicare for all.
Those that are against this idea, are not really against having a healthy society. It seems they are against the thought of being forced to pay for some-one else to be healthy. This to me is one of the sickest forms of greed and selfishness. Many of these people will, of course, donate to some worthy healthcare cause and insist that public donation could supplant public funding, however they do not want to formalize any type of commitment "through progressive taxation" to support the effort. They want to maintain the right to "keep their dough" once the spotlight is off them.
So essentially, those that do not support public funded healthcare (through progressive taxation), are essentially trying to really fight for their right to be selfish, greedy human beings (with snouts).

Just thinking...........
