Determining who lives or dies according to their ability to pay is unjust for the exact same reasons that it is unjust to let a convicted criminal pay off his prison sentence instead of serving it.

The government's been intentionally undermining healthcare for the sole purpose of taking it over for decades.

Just as Medicaid ultimately hurts the health & well-being of the poor, and Medicare ultimately hurts the health & well-being of the old, so too ObamaCare is going to lay waste to us all. People are going to be suffering & dying left & right! :-(

This is "change" & reform we don't want!
People think welfare statist government magic & coercion can defeat the laws of economics & provide us with something for nothing. The REAL answer is private savings, private insurance, & private charity.

Agreed in full. Thank you for your comments, and stay healthy!

My hope is that enough people will change their fundamental *approach* to health care by focusing on prevention first and treatment only when rigorous efforts at prevention fail. With the mess that is likely to come, it will be best to individually control as many aspects of one's health as possible -- so as to be minimally affected by what happens with professional medical care.

This is *much* easier said than done, of course.

This is a very distorted view of how well a national health care system can work. Right now, if you get cancer in the US, there is a pretty good chance your health insurance provider will find any reason not to provide you with coverage. In Canada, when you get cancer it is absolutely free! Do you hear me... FREE! Watch sicko by Michael Moore and learn about Great Britain and France who have the best health care in the world!

you don't understand where the money comes from then. NOTHING IS FREE! you pay for the healthcare through taxes.

as well, since the government is so massive that it slows the system (as well as shutting out doctors who want a salary above the governments cap (which is quite alot)) thus creating a system that is a danger to even the least severe of patients.

It's not free, nor is it good, so you're argument is dead.

Libertarian Socialist' who advocate reforms? Why not call yourself a communist or socialist? Same thing.

Err Because Communism, the way it has been exercised, is authoritarian and is composed of a governmental hierarchy. Libertarian Socialism is Libertarian (Anarcho-Syndicalist) and espouses the removal of hierarchies.

Of course not! I am against any government involvement in health care, beyond the enforcement of voluntary contracts and protections against fraud, as well as reasonable protections against malpractice.
