The argument is bogus. In 1998, out of 271 million, only 44 million had no health care coverage. Out of them, only 17 million had an income of less than $25K. That's 6 percent. Of those, at least 30% are between the ages of 18 and 24, statistically extremely unlikely to need expensive coverage except in the event of a catastrophic illness or accident, in which case, by federal law their coverage is picked up by the federal government anyway. The rest of Americans have better health care than any other country in the world. You want to make it into a moral issue, have fun. I prefer to argue on the basis of pragmatism. Why add another layer of expensive bureaucracy? Because liberals never met a social program that couldn't be solved by someone else's money.
