What he said:
Currently, if I want a bar of precious, precious gold, I have to pay a lot of money for it. If someone let me into Fort Knox and said the gold was on them, however, I'd take as much as I could possibly carry. I like gold! The more the better. That's not really the case with colonoscopies, or triple-bypasses. Now, you could make it so I can't afford colonoscopies, in which case I can't get them, but making it so I can have an unlimited number won't compel me to make them a weekly event.
I think this is the fundamental disconnect: Liberals want more health care and Conservatives want less of it. Anyone who is worried that they won't have health care when they need it ought to side strongly with the liberal position on this one. While we liberals may complain, fight, and argue with one another over the best form of health care, we all share the idea that everyone ought to be covered. Conservatives seem to be fine with the current "emergency room" system. As someone who has a permanent knee damage because the ER was out of my budget at one time, I tend to think they're full of it...
