My answer is no. I don't care what someone does with my stolen time/money, simply that they have stolen it. Robbery is wrong, period. Blackmail is wrong, period. Extortion is wrong, period.

I see no room for discussion here.
I hope you extend that argument to the police force, firefighters, roads, etc.

Aw crap, highthief beat me.

Anyway, health care is a human right. That doesn't mean all governments are capable of providing that right, but we certainly are.
