And defeatist. The very privilege and speculative value given to the corporations (for far longer than 20-30 years) is taken from the people. Rather than rectify this, you'd be happy if they just gave you a band-aid fix on your lack of healthcare.
You also fail to understand conventional economic definitions, without which, we cannot have a meaningful conversation.
Individual Healthcare and Health Insurance are, by definition, NOT public goods. Healthcare is not yet a legal right. Healthcare has never been a moral right: how can one person have a moral right to demand someone else's labor?
Despite my insistant disagreement with you on the nature of rights, and on the nature of public goods, I do agree that universal healthcare would be an expedient means of improving the US economy and standard of living. More important, I think it is the moral thing to do.
