10. Unfortunately, it almost certainly will happen. The only question is when.

Doctors like to talk about "saving lives", but what they really do is postpone death, for while.

The other thing they can sometimes do is improve the quality of life, which is a very good thing if you need it. But in the current health care regime that is a "pre-existing" condition, and you will be kicked out of the system if there is any way to do so.

The thing I want to know, the thing you should want to know, is: If YOU are obligated to provide health care for your family as a parent, why is the government not obligated to provide health care to it's citizens as a government? Does the government bear no responsibility to it's citizens? What is the relation of the people to a government that owes them nothing?
