<<<your original post was to Rambi who clearly isn't a hard line doctrinaire libertarian on this issue, but even with her you where laying down those preconditions>>> I will need to apologise. I hope you don't take what I have written personally. It is not meant to be personal. <<<OTOH you do seem pretty close to categorically ruling out any solution that doesn't involve a large expansion of government involvement. For one thing your starting with the idea that receiving health care is a natural human right, and apparently with the idea that we have to accept this right before we can move forward on a practical plan.>>> It seems to me that if it is not a right, then government has no right to get involved. I think that the "right" to health care is what this debate is all about. Without this discussion, all arguments end up in an endless circle.
