What about those that can't pay for it? I thought this was about providing health care to all including the 40 million (yes I got that from a RATM song so please correct me if it's wrong) that can't pay?

mrstickball answered your questions I think, but with respect to this line.

What I meant by it, is we are not looking to government to solve a civil rights issue. If we were, I would understand the added cost of government, to make sure everyones rights were protected.

Along the same lines of a police force. Police would be a complete waste of government money if everyone followed the laws. They don't, so it's a needed expense.

That's what I mean't by "So that's not the point". I meant the only reason we are looking to government, is to solve a money problem.
