No, I unerstand your point. You have no problem with theft. I do.
"non-deserving"? You change the argument to those who "deserve" and those who do not "deserve". I prefer not to have you or anyone else decide who is "deserving". The market is much better at deciding such things.
But why are the 1000 forced (at the point of a gun, btw) to pay for the 100? ...or the 10 who are "non-deserving"? Does allowing the 10 non-contributers ("non-deserving") to be "clients" enable 10 more of the 100 to not becoming contributors because they've lost any incentive. If the 100 (or the 990, depending on how you want to count) choose to insure against needing a service, let them buy "insurance" against becoming a "client", rather than having that money confiscated to pay for something which they may choose not to use or for people who do not contribute to the pool.
Bullpoo! It's you looser liberals who employ the bureaucrats to feed their power pyramid. The "conservative" would have everyone purchase services *they* deem necessary from anyone *they* choose. The bureaucry contracts, or someone else will do it and offer the service cheaper.
Again, *bullpoo*! The voters come away happy when *something* is done, whether that "something" solved a problem or made it worse. See: The Great Society and urban "projects".
keith I have seen little evidence of that Keith (you certainly have not provided anything to back up your buttertion on that front). Case in point "Rich Kids". The majority of them I've worked...

The great Howie Dean did a "wonderful" thing in Vermont with the idea that "everyone could have insurance coverage". However, all but a handfull of medical insurance companies left the state because the rules restricted how insurance can operate (fixing pools and dissalowing "catastophic coverage" policies). Those still left reacted to the rules by increasing costs. Government bureaucry run amok. BTW, Vermont is the #1 re-insurance state (seems he likes big business too). I suppose you think Howie Dean is a "conservative"?
Oh, so you are a totalitarian. You like it when people do what they are *told*. You sir, are a slaver.
...except your view of how the world should be, right?
