I firmly believe its wrong to take, with force, fairly earned money from any human being to benefit another human, regardless of their inequalities. I think philanthropy is the number 1 most important thing humans can have, but I don't think any dictator or government should be in charge of judging inequality on behalf of the masses.
As far as health care goes, there are many ways it can be made affordable without making it public. Government regulation on the industry has caused the problems we see with it today. For example, let people buy across state lines, that would encourage competition. Also, make it easier to become a doctor, or at least, give lesser medical professionals more treatment permissions, let consumers be the judge of who's a good doctor and who isn't. I'm not denying that a public option would work, I think it would. But I don't think its the fairest, or most moral option. Keep it simple, keep it fair.
