By the way, I WORK for the government I provide them with my life and they use me as they wish. There is a HUGE difference between what I (and other government employees) do and people who just mooch off the taxpayers or do the bare minimum in life with their hands always out for the next socialist program.
And it is used for saving lives. However I want to know what will be next on the agenda if health care gets taken over (and it will be taken over) by the government. Is it not fair that rich people can buy nice cars and big houses? Shall the working people in America subsidize loans for lower class and jobless people so they too can have a 3,000 square foot house? When does it end? Health care insurance is commodity, a product that you pay for. It is not a right and so far nobody has been able to show me that it is a right afforded to the people.

Like I mentioned I respect what you do and also respect Police and fire big time. I don't mind paying a cent for the security knowing they will come to my aid. Now If I said I refused to pay taxes for such services (military, police, and fire) because I’m not paying a cent for someone else to have that protection. To me, I think I would look like an ass.
Having your house put out if it catches fire isn’t a RIGHT its a service (product if you will)!
Having your mail delivered also is not a right.
having smooth roads to drive on isnt a right -
I don't mind paying taxes for those services for everyone. They are put in place by government for our safety, protection, and convenience.. Health coverage is just going to be another ones of those things added to the list which protects our nations individual health.
