The fundamental question is: Do citizens of a democratic state have the fundamental right to the highest quality of health care, regardless of income or any other discriminating factor? If the answer is yes, then for-profit private insurance cannot serve as the core enabler of that universal right. If the answer is no, then that democratic state is enabling its own demise, particularly when the greatest amount of wealth in human history is available to the state. This is not socialism, it is a fundamental expression of equal citizenship, for the highest quality of health care, like education, is a universal right regardless of income or other discriminating factors. Or so it seems to me.
