Should our Chief Magistrate of the Union ask for fifty different health care plans from the several States?What the fuck?Don't be ridiculous.YES! I do mean that.
People who are healthy don't want to pay for insurance, UNTIL THEY ARE NOT HEALTHY.
The only way to be able to guarantee everyone access to coverage in free market based system is to mandate that they get covered healthy or not.
This is where you go wrong every single time. Government is not tasked with guaranteeing everyone anything. Good little dictators will always sacrifice liberty for their own selfish desires.
You are crazy. Government is tasked WITH MANY THINGS it is to provide it's citizens.
I'm not an ideologue - if there is a way to setup a pure free market to handle a problem I'm all for it, but some things it's just not that good at as bottom line doesn't always line up with acceptable outcomes for us the people.
At the Federal level, the government is tasked with keeping this country safe from aggressive countries in the world, provide and maintain our borders as part of that responsibility, and keep the squabbling between the states to a minimum. There are certain responsibilities for keeping and maintaining our national parks and waterways for the continued operation of the economy. However, at the federal level, there is zero responsibility for the federal government to provide things, (particularly guarantees) to individuals.
Silly, Federal government is tasked BY THE PEOPLE, through a political process. There is no divine prescription for what Feds do or do not do.
The Constitution of the United States: A Transcription
The United States Constitution prescribes exactly what limits and responsibilities the Government has. Perhaps you should read it.
This is where people like you go wrong. You think that social issues should all be decided at the Federal level when in fact no social issues should be decided at the federal level. Social issues are wholly contained as States Rights.
