60. We'd do it the same way we socialize the fire department

Health care is a public good, period. The same constitutional permission given to promote the general welfare with fire and police protection applies to health care. There isn't any horseshit about "choosing the fire protection that's best for your family." You just pay your property tax, directly or indirectly, and if your house catches fire, they just send a truck out. A heart attack is not the slightest bit different IMO.
