I can buy the argument that it's not a necessity for survival of the species, just a luxury, but no more of a "waste" of money than money spent on flowers or music or stained glass windows. I did not suggest that it was a waste of money. What I said was: "parties who want this take responsibility for coming up with the resources to support it." At a minimum that would require budgeting for a bigger Medicaid payout and determining if the cost should be added to the deficit or whether taxes should be raised or whether a stimulated economy would fully pay for the program increases.
