YOU COULDN'T PAY ME TO BE A DOCTOR
"But so is food. And I doubt even the most rabid proponent of Obamacare would want to see a government takeover of the food industry."
Well, in some ways we do have measures to ensure that people don't go without food (food stamps, subsidized school lunches, etc). I bet there would be some serious calls for government intervention if food companies were allowed to deny food to people, large numbers of people weren't able to afford the food that companies WERE willing to sell to them, the food being sold was not in fact life-sustaining... This is another example of a situation where free-market capitalism does not work. Is health care a commodity? Yes, but it can still be a human right, too.
