public healthcare is a wise policy. When the reality is that economic facts deprive significant segments of society access to medical care, government is wise to fill the gap. Public health is and should be everyone's problem. Have you ever heard of infectious disease?

Infectious disease? Come on, it's up to people to take personal responsibility to not get sick! I don't know about you, but I walk around all day in one of those plastic CDC biohazard suits all the time. Just because you seem to value "not looking like an idiot" more than "total hermetic separation from germs" doesn't mean I should have to pay for it when your vanity makes you contract, I dunno, lupus or something...
