Insurance should be limited to life and property; health care should be a national right and could be easily afforded if we gave up the pretense of world hegemony through military dominance. I'm longing for the day when a national politician calls for single payer health care and simultaneously calls on Americans to take upon themselves the individual responsibility of healthier lifestyles through proper nutrition and exercise. Doing so would cut short conservative whining about such programs being contrary to America's individual respnsibility ethos and, because it would result in a healthier population, a decrease in health care costs.
