. Yes good points, and that is what needs to be debated openly and then voted upon in our society, but the real authoritarians/greedy control freaks in this nation won't even allow for such a debate where a great plan could be put forth to be debated or to even allow that vote, so what's the difference ?Why would you not want to participate in such a basic plan if it is cheap enough, and offers coverage that is decent when it comes to making choices by you on how to use your coverage offered you ?
Who knows? The point is, some would, and you seem to be acknowledging here that, under your proposed program, they would be forced to participate against their will. This is what most liberals can't bring themselves to recognize: that their urge to use government to bring about social change is the urge to use coercion to achieve their goals. It's essentially abandoning the effort to persuade people to voluntarily do something that you think is a good idea, and forcing them to do it instead. It's a fundamentally authoritarian point of view.
