In my opinion, your admission that it's absurd to expect the institutions that provide healthcare coverage to cover certain people means those institutions are not the institutions I support. Healthcare should be available to everyone. Period.

This is why the capitalist model does not work for required services. If you can deny a required service to someone under a business model, that's inexcusable.
Health care is a commodity. Stop blurring the lines of definitions to support your cause and if you don't believe me pull your head out of your ass and look at the stock market under: Merck. As the honorable Rush Limbaugh used to say: Words Mean Things.

So when does a service not become "required". You should be in favor of making food free, then gas, then housing, then...
