re: #526 Walter L. Newton

But you have to look at the over all numbers… even if the government doesn’t handle health care efficiently, there will at least be the chance that a few less people would die then if they couldn’t get any kind of health care. That’s certainly worth the effort in my book.

Of course you are right, but that is a whole other argument. The morality of universal health care has nothing to do with government that can deliver services effectively.

In fact there is a strong argument that an efficient government is a moral government.
