Should we have a weekly "Ask a Libertarian!" thread?

Most of the stuff that comes in could probably be handled at a much lower level of training. The problem is there needs to be reform in the malpractice laws relative to using lesser trained people. Also if you are overweight smoke and drink to excess you should have to pay more for services, a lot more.

You pull half facts from the land of Honah Lee and then think you make startling links.....you do not, and I did not run from your question, I simply laughed. Why do you think rape was such an important component of dominant nations in history in defeating an opponent?

Simple. Since it's so damn important to you that everyone have health care we nationalize the whole damn system and put all of it's employees on the new government/military pay scale. Doctors are equivalent to O-3 & 4's while nurses are senior enlisted.

Don't like that answer? Then let charity in it's true form with no government intervention take care of the problem of those who can't afford health care.

Charity is to demeaning. Government guns in everyone's face while government goons rob you is much more dignified. If you had real charity how does that benefit government ? People might even thank their neighbors or give glory too God instead of the State.

Mexicans live almost as long as we do and spend about 1/10th on medical care relative to us per capita.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired
Signifies, in the final sense, a theft
From those who hunger and are not fed,
Those who are cold and are not clothed
Pres Eisenhower's Farewell Address

Perhaps if we directed our frustration at those corporations that manufacture killing machines and the congressmen that make sure they get lots of our tax money.
