people who say government should never, ever get involved in the provision of health care to the citizenry. that ought to be up to private institutions, elements of civil society, to families, churches, and so forth. regardless of where you are in that spectrum or whether you're somewhere in the middle, i think it's much easier to get people to the point of asking the additional question, not just whether government should get involved, but at which level? should it btb at a national level or should bit at the state level? i think we can make a compelling argument even directed towards our ideological left that would say it ought to be at the state level. let's suppose, for example, that you were one of those people who want a government funded, run single payer system. you can do it far faster with far more consistently, making it far more true as to what you envision of the ideal of the federal government provider or of a government providing this. if it's not the federal government but a state there are a number of people, for example, within the vermont state legislature that would lik
