How 'bout if I respond with a non-sequitur question that this statement brings up for me....
Every other civilized country in the world has some form of single payer health care. In some cases, health care is entirely a government function. America is literally alone in having health care be a completely private-enterprise proposition.
Here's my question (and it really is a question, I really don't know the answer): ARE there libertarians in those countries? Are they protesting about the socialization of their countries' health care industries? Or is this whole "keep your government hands off me" thing an American phenomenon?
