The principle of taking from one who earned and giving to another who did not still stands.

Also, Das Kapital is a joke, Marx nor any others has ever actually described a working system of wealth creation. Marx supporters fall back on two defenses - one being that anyone who looks at their agenda with the critical eye of rationality and science is simply part of or a tool of the "1%" so to speak - and the other being their claim to an inherent "morality" of being "fair".

Sinij, maybe later I will explain to you how the health care system works and why we get the cost issues we have ( hint: there are 3 primary reasons). But before that, if you are so in favor of Obamacare why dont you write up an essay that addresses what it is trying to do, and account for the unintended consequences while you are at it.

You should take some time to say why it will work.

A few points to address - the payout system, medicare funding, death panels, where costs the govt tries to forcibly cut will re-appear, the level of care people should expect, the effect on existing insurance plans, long term viability in the face of a falling dollar. Also the effects on the economy of the new taxes it introduces, especially the new tax on home sales.

I will say one thing, Obamacare looks likely to raise the costs of advanced health care for people around the world as the pharmaceutical companies look to recoup costs. Expect big legal and diplomatic fights over that as well.
