Socialized Health Care: Wave Of The Future?

Lisa, the Liberal, says to you, "It's a shame health care is having such a horrible time getting passed. Look at all the other countries having it. Why, we're just old fashioned. It's the wave of the future. I just feel it is, and that's all that is necessary to say about it!"
Your reply:" Insane Child, just because you feel something about something does not mean what you feel is true. The universe does not orbit around your precious feelings. You feel that socialized health care is the wave of the future? Not in the real world. Let's look at Claude Castonguay, the father of Quebec's Medicare. In 1966 he was asked by Quebec's premier to lead a royal commission to study health care reform. He recommended a public health insurance system. The Quebec government took his advice, and by 1972 all the provinces of Canada had established socialized medical care. Many years later in 2007 the Quebec government was desperately looking for more money as socialized health care had turned out to cost far more than projected. In 2008, Castonguay reported back that health care was in a crisis and called for a greater role to be played by the private sector. That is, liberal Lisa, his recommendation was that more health care needed to come from the private sector. This is what happens when the government offers something "free" to certain groups of people, which means that the government is robbing Peter, the pay poor old Paul. The poor old Pauls overuse the "free" system, and it runs out of money. Taking money from people and giving it to other people is not being on the path of love. It is being on the path of hate. People who would willingly give money to others are certainly on the path of love, but you are on the path of hate if you use force to make them do that. This is why democrats, socialists, communists, and other collectivists are all on the path of hate. They are morally inferior to conservatives, libertarians, and other individualists who do not believe in forcing you to give to others. For Christian communists, socialists, and other Chrisitian collectivists, let me point out that Christ never proposed forcing people to give to the poor. What you propose is morally wrong too.
