Writes Steve Dekorte: “What I don’t understand about the nationalized healthcare movement is why it must be done using the threat of force. If there are people in the US who wish to be a part of a healthcare system in which each contributes according to their means and receives according to their needs (with rationing), then aren’t they already free to form a private insurance organization of freely consenting members to do so?

“If only to prove that such a system can be done in a way that is both acceptable to the participants and sustainable (without the ever increasing debt financing of all current socialist systems – including the US’s) you’d think they’d already have one. Micheal Moore himself certainly has the resources and connections to start such an insurance system. I’d suggest he create one and show us how well it works.

“The only difference between a system of the kind he advocates which is private and one which is ‘public’ is that the later will put you in a cage or kill you if you resist partcipation. The unspoken truth of socialism is that it is that despite any good intentions, it is always and ultimately done (ironically enough) at the point of a gun.”
