With health care, once you set yourself up as the source for people's health care, not insurance, you own them.

They have contempt individuals won't do the right thing, the right thing being defined by what Marxists want.

Rush Limbaugh

We have never seen health as a right. It has been conceived as a privilege, available only to those who can afford it. This is the real reason the American health care system is in such a scandalous state.
