The socialism of universal health care is not compatible with the American concepts of freedom and exceptionalism

Current debate says policy must pick people or the environment
Environmentalists are lucky—the face of their cause is the irresistible giant panda, the patriotic bald eagle, the Siberian tiger, etc. etc. It’s so easy to cry out “Save the animals! Stop destroying Mother Nature!” because there really is no one who wouldn’t love to protect the [...]
