You are totally not getting it and I have no real expectation that you will eventually get it. It is acceptable to me, within reason, for a generation to choose to provide education for its children, through our state and local governments. It is not an appropriate function of the federal government imo, but that is a different discussion that would need to be on a different thread. It is NOT acceptable to me, at all, for a generation to choose to have its children provide its health care for it. It is a moral outrage that we would bind future generations to such a commitment without their knowledge or understanding. Likely not 1 in 100 25-year olds, even, have the slightest idea what has happened here. I would have an entirely different view of things if this generation were providing health care for itself at its own expense. That is not what's happening here. You are doing with health care generally just what you did with Medicare and Social Security. Which is to force 20-somethings to pay for health care for older generations. That is morally wrong and it is difficult for me, as a person of somewhat reasonable moral character, to look at it an see how it is acceptable to anyone at all.
