Why national healthcare is as important as a strong military

From a thread on Fark
redneckgeek: I missed the part where the founding fathers said I had to take care of your sorry ass.
Rob.D: That’s what citizens do. That take care of each other in bad times.
That’s why someone’s granddad died in Manila in 1943.
That’s why you should be willing to take care of someone if they get the C.
Most of you have forgot about being citizens and simply consider yourselves taxpayers.

It’s nice to see an non-financial based argument regarding nationalized medicine. Too often, the focus is on the cost of national health care or a feeling of entitlement. It is not an individual entitlement for a citizen to receive health care, it is a responsibility of a citizen to ensure that all people receive the help they need.
