sure, but i thought you really hated being dependent on anybody else


i think that's indeed the main concern, getting stuck with the bill, which keeps rising. like it or not the health care is not like a mortgage, it's much closer to the right to life and most human beings are very uncomfortable with the idea of leaving other human beings die when they could've helped it being avoided. charitable organizations are fine, but i'm not convinced the american society is willing to rely on them only. the ones i've seen from close rely on government funding and while i also think americans are very generous i am pretty sure that their financial situation is a very small factor on their charitable contributions, so i don't buy into the theory that if they had more money they'll be giving more to charity.
and the majority of charities that are churches have enormous overhead - it puts the government to shame.
