People are denied health insurance all the time because greedy private companies won't insure someone with a pre-existing condition.

So if that someone dies because she couldn't get insurance in time and therefore could not afford quick treatment, that's not our problem right? As long as we keep that extra few dollars? Better someone else than me?

What if that someone with a pre existing condition had emergency surgery one day. Let's say it was for an appendix surgery, but she can't pay it off because the bill was in the $10,000s. All health insurance companies denied her previously and she had a crummy job that didn't pay much. Is that fair?

Are we to care more about saving money than a human life?

Should there even be public schools? Why not just make all of them private while we are at it. Did YOU go to a public school or college?

Should the government control our water supply? Why not make that private as well

Why have public protection? Think of all the money we could save with private police officers nationwide! I'm sure they'll have our best interests at heart if that were to happen.

Why have fire fighters? When cities are burning down because of wild brush fires, think of all the money we could save if private fire fighters did the job instead!

If all schools were privatized, education in this country would be much better.

Police, water, fire fighters are all local govt, not federal. Big difference.
