Twfowler:

Obviously, you did not read all my posts in my dialogue with Wildstar:

Message 20413315

Message 20412239

Instead, you chose to focus on one of my earlier isolated posts (to Wildstar) where some of your questions to me where answered in these later posts.

I will try another approach here. But I know it will be to no avail to you:

Health care is a social benefit that is particularly important because it affects everyone in a community. Whether a person is an "illegal alien," permanent resident or a full-fledged citizen does not matter when an issue about health is concerned. An outbreak of tuberculosis spread by an illegal alien will not be selective on who it infects.

Diseases transcend all borders, classes and races -- health care should as well. My view converts the topic of health care from a nation-state issue into a trans-national and community-based issue, ultimately, diluting the sovereignty of a country and leaning toward a global consciousness. By this I mean that human-rights issues are becoming more important in the world scheme. I know this concept is hard, if not impossible, for Libertarians, like yourself, to understand.
