I gave you the argument into another message. Let keep it short.
The interests diverge fundamentally. Is not like in food where more food
means more proffit but is in reverse less coverage means more proffits.

You never gave ANY argument valid, except libertarian BELIEF. Well, Indians
believe in cow and maybe you can find some African or Amazonian tribes
worshiping earth worms :-)

A lot of money were "borrowed" i.e hijacked from SS. And there are
artificial limits like the 90k cap. A small reform will make the system
sustainable for very very long.

Healthy and young people pay dividends to shareholders in private insurance
companies. When old and sick is supported by tax payers. 

With a universal health care system, instead of paying dividends to greedy
criminals these extra money will support old and sick. Bingo, we get less
taxes too.

The fact that we do not have everybody in Medicare/Medicaid create these
problems. We waste money to make some lazy idiots richer.
