Putting aside Judicial nominations and steroids

So, in designing health care, you have to identify a market failure that calls for a government-operated solution. The only market failure is not that, but a moral belief that everyone is entitled to "free" healthcare. That's fine, and worth voting on, but it doesn't mean that government needs to be involved in the solution any more than to move money from a rich pocket to apoor one.
Health care has lots of market failure going on. It's amazingly difficult to get the incentives aligned properly. RT can explain.

Which is not to say that there aren't other issues about the healthcare to which people are entitled.
