Let's start with a more basic issue:

Humans have a right to contract that precedes the existence of government. Regardless of the record (and as long as we use undistorted comparisons, I have no problem stacking up a public-private mix like the US with a public system), how can a majority have the legitimate power to take away the right of a minority to contract freely with regard to the provision of something as essential as the provision of health care? Do you also think that a majority has the right to restrict the freedom of movement, or to take away the free speech rights of a minority?
