Of course health care does not need to be entirely government run -- just as there is this thing called private schools. Private schools exist -- and some are very good. Obama went to private schools. But that in no way negates the basic facts: Part of the price of living in a civilized society is that we agree to assure that every single child in the country gets at least a basic education. Same goes for equal justice under the law -- although it seems pretty obvious that we will go way to far in tolerating illegal behavior on the part of many in business and many in the highest political offices of our country. Basic respect for the Constitution should not be nogeotiable for those who hold high office. We should eb willing to put politicans in jail when they break the law -- same for corporate crooks.

As citizens we should have the same rights to health care as we do for education. Those who most ardently oppose universal health care do so while wearing big ugly ideology blinders.

Without a strong, well organized and well run government, you simply cannot have a strong and prosperous society and economy. Government is not the enemy of the people -- government is an essential part of the social and economic life of the people.
