But since the government is already regulating and susidizing, wouldn't it be better to try to help them come up with things that make sense. Yours is a principled stance, but I want to be pragmatic. You'll pay for quality healthcare for you and your family so people won't have to pay higher insurance premiums to support you, but what about those who don't? I know you'll be on to bigger and better...
