For the first time, Senator Belfry accurately represents the people: he wants his health care, but he doesn’t want to pay for it. Let someone else pay! Alas, no matter how you slice and dice it—socialized medicine, private insurance, charity, some combination of the above—in the end, we all pay for the care we all receive. The argument is just in the details, mostly about how much red tape there is in the movement of money, and how much the people creating the red tape get to keep for themselves.
He’s all for it because “single payer” is code for a monopoly. The big insurance companies WANT their monopoly of course. They’re just using government force to get it (in the guise of helping the poor.) Watch for it, reader. You’ll see.

I might have know that Guard SGT would inject his hate filled venom into what was a peaceful and jocular group of postings.

Baby’s diapers and politicians should be changed regularly, and for the same reason.
