Health care

I'd still like your opinions on whether health care is a right or a privelege.

Here's the thing though, as far as the whole reform issue goes. There are lots of problems with our current system. Among these are medical malpractice suits, the incredible costs associated with medical technology, the cost in the pharmaceutical industy for R&D and advertising, the enormous overhead associated with medical practice, government mandates to insurance companies, etc. However, more government is not the answer because it cannot be the answer.

Government's job is to provide for our common defense, to make sure that free enterprise operates on a level playing field, to enforce the constitution, to protect us from crime, to protects us from tyrrany (political or religious). Government was never meant to operate health care or any other business.
