I think this debate started with the comment about how much more conservative the US is than the rest of the developed world....while this may be true, it is also true that we are much more Libertarian as well. The health care debate dovetails onto the Libertarian side as well as the conservative. Slacker

Providing good health care to everyone hardly strikes me as a political issue Why not? If that is not a "Political Issue," then why not provide everyone with good food? or good cars? Hey, I think you should be forced to go back to work as a Professor at the salary set by the state, at the University specified by the state, to teach the students provided by the state, using textbooks and teaching methods provided by the state, on the days and hours specified by the state, and give the grades specified by the state, so that everybody has a good education. Why not? You expect Medical Doctors to do this, so why shouldn't you PHD's have to? "Whats sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander!"
