Under funded. Needs young, healthy contributors. Alternative? Make private insurance keep the elderly and the disabled as well as the young and working.
Why am I morally obligated to pay for anyone else's health care?
It's not a question of you paying for the health care of some poor, undeserving bastard, it is a question of being lucky enough to not become a poor, undeserving bastard with health care bills he couldn't possibly have planned for without sharing the risk.
I don't think any of us poor, undeserving bastards are unwilling to pay for the insurance we obtain via a public option.....
Your statement about being lucky leads me to believe your position is that anyone not poor is just "lucky" and being poor is due to "unlucky" circumstances. Is it also your position that hard work and sacrifice have nothing to do with attaining wealth, only luck is involved? Is your position also that the result of any risk one takes, good or bad, should be shared by all?
