Using the MOQ as a moral guide, my question is, "Why not?" I find 
nothing in the MOQ that suggests that government controlled universal 
health care is a moral demand. But, I could be wrong.

[Arlo]
Nor do I find anything in the MOQ suggestion human life is a market 
commodity. Quite the opposite, I find Pirsig stating quite clearly 
that a human being (as a source of ideas) is something to be 
preserved unless (the only exception I can find) is s/he poses an 
imminent threat to society.

[Platt to Jos]
Are you suggesting there are not many other examples?

[Arlo]
Are you suggesting there are not many counter-examples in the 
American health care system? Again, check out "Sick".
