Health care is too important, so it cannot be entrusted to the government, but NATIONAL DEFENSE is entrusted to the government?
Correct, mostly because of the diplomatic power and international role the government plays. If it was possible to create a situation where privatized homeland defense could exist with all the other other countries involved, I'd be all for it.
No. Health care is too important to be left to profiteering robber barons.
It's a good thing we leave it to private insurers instead, then.
