Some people still believe in the notion of self-determination, of the right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Its a principle thing.

Is it the obvious question? I'm still trying to make sense of this whole 'green revolution'.

In any insurance system, private or public, people ARE responsible for the medical welfare of others. The only way they wouldn't be was if they didn't have any insurance and were solely responsible for paying their medical bills. Insurance, public or private, is basically a transfer of resources from the healthy to the sick.
