[quote name="Lizard_King"][quote name="Fussbett"] A lofty goal is giving everyone equal access to basic health?[/quote] Complete the sentence. "...without destroying the economy of the country in the long run". Since "basic" is relative in this case, you are shooting for a movie target with everyone's future, and I have yet to see anyone pull it off. [quote]So LOFTY, yet crap-ass Canada managed it? If America, the richest country in the world isn't going to shoot for lofty goals, who is?[/quote] One of the main reasons Canada has been able to do so, just as with Europe, is because America has *not* followed them down that path. The money for it, as I'm sure you are aware at some level, had to come from somewhere. You are ignoring the opportunity cost of that goal, as if human life did not have to be quantified in value at some point because resources magically stopped being limited when it came to health care. [quote]So anyway, if the left are fools with hearts of gold, then are the right smart assholes? Imagine an airplane, if it helps.[/quote] It doesn't :( and I wish it were that simple. [/quote]
