Reason #12342354 for universal healthcare

Let Them Eat Cake Let Them Go To The Emergency Room
People do not take kindly to being told that, if they have no food, they should just die quietly without bothering their betters. Similarly, people do not take kindly to being told that, if they have no health care, they should just die quietly without bothering their betters. And as someone whose income decidedly qualifies him for the "betters" category, and who values his neck... well, you see where I'm coming from. Marie Antoinette didn't. George W. Bush and John McCain don't. But, unlike them, I study history. Those who are ignorant of history are condemned to... be ignorant. Sigh.

Ground rules: Comments that consist solely of insults, fact-free talking points, are off-topic, or simply spam the same argument over and over will be deleted. The penguin is the only one allowed to be an ass here. All viewpoints, however, are welcomed, even if I disagree vehemently with you.

WARNING: You are entitled to create your own arguments, but you are NOT entitled to create your own facts. If you spew scientific denialism, or insist that the sky is purple, or otherwise insist that your made-up universe of pink unicorns and cotton candy trees is "real", well -- expect the banhammer.
