The Argument Of A Society Of Individuals Or A Collective. Since societies are by nature collectives and individuals are by nature self survivalists,there will always be opposing idealistic influences from each perspective. It's nice to " say " you care for another human being, but are you willing to give up a portion of your affluence to assist that human being in maintaining his/her health? If you are willing to spend money on military strength that ensures your survival and that of your neighbours,let alone send your sons and daughters to fight your wars,what is the difference in providing Universal health care? Please explain " at whose expense " this is maintained? During the draft of the Vietnam War,did draftees have the " right " to refuse to go?At who's expense and to who's benefit did these young men and women die in a foreign land in a war they understood little about!!? What are I missing here? Regards... KC
