<<<If we move into a paradigm where people have the right to "free" health care, that really is a departure from our current government paradigm. To make such a departure, we need to think carefully about it, not just fall into it because it's a lovely sentiment. I'm not arguing here that we shouldn't do it, only that it's a huge departure, not a small step.>>>

It is a different debate if what you are saying is that under our current economic circumstances universal right to healthcare is not feasible and/or affordable.

But somehow I get the sense that you do not want universal right to health care even if it were affordable. That is something entirely different.
