I agree, how can we even have a discussion about some mythical 'right' to healthcare? Hint: It isn't a 'right' if it requires the enslavement of someone else.
Now if that isn't a straw man. Enslavement? Maybe you were going for hyperbole?
Look, whether or not a government option is the best plan is up for debate. But in a report issued under the (last) Bush administration, the projected percent of the GDP that will be spent on healthcare in 2018 is 20%. That is one in every five dollars of wealth created in the USA. That is the status quo.
Going under the assumption that 20% is not desirable and that the status quo will get us to 20%, what do you think we should do? Pick one: (1) see how much we can spend on health care by ignoring its financial drain on the US economy (default), (2) enact legislation that may halt the trend, (3) pray to God that he intervenes to save us and rely on our unwavering faith in a higher power?
And you do realize that the slope of the curve will be positive when we hit that 20%, don't you? Here is my reference.
