That's still not the business of the federal gov't. They are there to provide • a
framework which protects our liberties - not to dole out compassion. That
argument doesn't hold water anyway, anyone can go to the emergency room
regardless of ability to pay.

I agree, but to nitpick, that service isn't done out of the goodness of the
hospital's collective heart; it's subsidized.

Right, but I just meant that people will be treated when needed.

Besides, federal medical care makes HMO's look divine.
