I can't understand those who oppose the public health bill.
Maybe roads should be a private business as well? Only communist countries build public roads with tax money.
Not the same thing. At all. With roads it is impossible for there to be competition. You can only physically build one road in front of my house.
This is not the case with health care, which is privately consumed.
Frankly I can't understand those who support the health care bill.
I like the idea of privatized fire departments.

Why can't there be any competition in building roads?
You the house owner go to a road shop. There you can check out the different road qualities made by different companies and finally decide if you want a Wal-Mart Dirt Path or a Rolex Golden Avenue or something in between.
By the way, the average countryside person needs more roads than the average city person, because distances are larger on the countryside. So there is a certain subsidization from city to countryside.
However city people get sick more often. So the countryside people should pay back here in form of a public health bill.
Really, if this is the best argument that can be made in favor of socialized medicine the whole enterprise is treading on very thin ice.
