In case you were actually wondering

My actual thinking is not “SOCIALIZED MEDICINE NOW!” but something more along the lines of “We can put a man on the moon, but we can’t create a system of health care where families can afford to pay for their own health and dental insurance just as they pay for their own car and life insurance? That’s dumb.” I would regard it as bizarre if I had to be a serf of a corporation or the state in order to be able to have insurance to drive my car or have homeowners insurance. I regard it as equally bizarre that we’ve managed to construct a system where it is prohibitively expensive for a family to buy its own health and dental policy.

Note the key phrase: “buying my own insurance”, not “You buy my insurance for me.”

Now, if you want to be technical, all insurance involves the majority of payers covering the expenses of the statistical minority who have to draw on the fund to pay for the fender bender or the heart attack or the flood. But unless you want to suggest that is “socialism” then I don’t see what the problem is with suggesting the crazy idea that a family that is self-employed ought to be able to buy its own health and dental the way a family that is self-employed can buy its own car insurance, without being a serf of a corporation or the state. How people deduce my ingrained socialism from that beats me.
