[MD] Down the road of mediocrity

[Arlo Bensinger]

[Platt]
I wouldn't have had a child if I couldn't afford to take care of her.

[Arlo]
Of course, but let's pretend you lost your job and were unable to 
afford health insurance, or your new position refused to cover 
"previous illnesses". Would you have argued against her receiving 
medical treatment? Because I'm sure you are aware of what these bills 
are, even "simple" tests can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. 
No one with insurance can afford this.

[Platt]
Wait 18 weeks for an operation like in Briton? You call that a great 
system? Thanks, but no thanks.

[Arlo]
I didn't call it a great system. I said who lives and who dies should 
not be based on market forces.

[Platt]
The capitalist system provides ample opportunity to anyone willing to 
stay in school and then stay on the job. Who is this man 
conservatives pretend to admire that believes in hand outs?

[Arlo]
Who, indeed.
