Some of us still adhere to the pre-New Deal mindset, where we
actually believe that we are responsible for our own lives, and
the federal government has no business intruding on them except

And the presence of that attitude is why the USA is lagging most of
the developed world in health today. The ridiculous thing is that
once you pass 65 (or so) and get on Social Security Medicare takes
over, and you are in reasonably good shape.

Otherwise known as "subsidized by taxpayers to death". The retired
and the health care lobby are powerful forces. They get anything they
