You can see why I prefer the philosophical argument to the practical one. The issue is vastly complex and I doubt anyone understands it very well at all. For that reason alone, we should be reluctant to mandate an approach at the federal level. Nobody is likely to have THE answer.
I understand where you're coming from, and I'd like to be Mr. Pie-In-The-Sky, too. I'd rather see a single-payer healthcare system, for example. But we've got 40 million people getting fucked over right now, and practicality has to win the day.
