Thank you. 

And I wouldn’t necessarily ascribe it to morals as much as consistency with the nation’s founding documents and with free-market capitalism itself. You are free to buy what clothing, food and shelter you want and can afford, yet would become beholden to the state for your medical care – by extension, your very existence – if socialized medicine were to take hold. Why one gets to make his own decisions regarding a house or a meal but not when it comes to health care is anathema to a free exchange of goods, services and remuneration and the height of patrician arrogance.

Remember that the U.S. government is allowed to “promote the general welfare,” not to provide for it or guarantee it.
