I think everyone should be able to afford BASIC health care.
Those who want everyone to have extensive health care are trying to become a nanny state. "I pay for your insurance, and you're more likely to need care if you eat trans-fats, so I get to determine what you put in your mouth". That's scary.
I'm reminded of a news story I saw some time ago, and can't locate now, of a guy who broke his ankle (in UK). Like many of us, he waited a couple of days thinking it was sprained, then got treatment. A few years later when it wasn't healed properly and he needed surgery, his health plan wouldn't approve it because he smokes. UNRELATED, but allowing someone to dictate your very actions. This nanny-state mentality is what scares me most about the direction of our country.
