It's easier when it's not you personally doing the gun pointing, but the conclusion is still the same. What government services should be provided at the point of a gun?
Healthcare? I think not. I couldn't do it personally or through a surrogate.

Nothing should ever be forced at gunpoint. I know this has been said before but are roads or the military forced to you at gunpoint? No? fuck roads then. How about that Postal Service? Should they force you to send that piece of mail at $0.44? This is a horrible way to look at 'government services'.
Healthcare is a right.
Edit: reading this again, all I can say is 'wow' if this is what you guys really thought the framers were thinking.
