An Analogy Gone Wrong

CNN reporter, in the time span of 3:45-3:50 said that the Obama healthcare plan is similar to schools. Some go to public school, others go to private schools.

Sorry to be so quick to shoot holes in this but you do not pay to go to public school. You pay taxes but not a monthly fee of some kind that burdens you instantly in your budget. Secondly, education is a necessity. I don't need a doctor. Why should I be required to have one?

Critics say "Well say that when you get sick." If I get sick, I'm responsible enough to set aside my own finances to pay for the treatment. I also live my life well, so I doubt I'll be catching Swine Flu 2.0.

Also, ask yourself if we really want anything else in our lives imitating our education system?
Then ask yourself when we are done making our healthcare system like our education system, what other government run agency or department will our education system be compared to for the reforms for free college at the price of "volunteerism" that is going to be proposed next?
