The popular programs do. I didn’t say they should. I didn’t say they had to. I said they do.

No, it doesn’t have to. The rich can always buy a private insurance rider if they want to after we get a single-payer system. This country doesn’t have to do exactly what every other nation has done.

Mister,

Socialized medicine outlaws private health transactions.

We are soooo lucky to have been born when we were. Things really weren’t that great in the world or in this counry back when the USA was founded. Think about what those in the Middle Ages had to go through too.

“punish doctors and patients for voluntarily agreeing on a transaction of any sort.”

Who wants to do that??

I love the odd links in your posts/comments that go to advertising. Way to make some money on blogging man!!

Hey Shaun great post. I’m a friend of Jason’s and I’m looking forward to the debate. I just started my blog but I wanted to know if you’d be interested in a blogroll link exchange.

Will, Reagan was certainly seen as a fanatic of liberty. I believe you’ve missed my overall point in the article — I want to be remembered as one who did not consent to the collapse of his country.

Jason, looks good! I’ll try to respond ASAP. The next day or so is incredibly busy here, but a response will be up shortly.

Evanescent, I sent you an email regarding the blogroll link exchange — I’m very interested in the trade.

Hi Shaun,

I couldn’t find a feedback page or e-mail address for you so thought I’d leave a comment here. I think we agree on several ethical/political positions, and I was considering an exchange of blogroll links if you’d consent?

Regards,

Evanescent

Hate to interrupt the discussion…(and I agree with Will…I don’t want to be remembered as a crazy rebel…lol ) but my first post for our debate is up. I’m sorry it took a little longer than I expected, but I wanted to make sure I organized my thoughts into some coherent arguments.

Well, they aren’t going to be called “crazy rebels” in the history books. If some people see it that way, that’s fine, but all I’m saying is that I wouldn’t set that as my goal in life, how I /want/ to be remembered. =)

Each (except maybe Lewis…) was seen as a crazy in their own light, Will. And … Weaver didn’t make a statement? Go read the Wiki article on him. ::chuckles::
