In the discussion of what the government should or shouldn't do, medical coverage is said to not be a necessity.  If it isn't a necessity, what is it?  

Cato Instutite argues that necessity is futile:

This will pop up from time to time.  And comes up when people say stuff like, "Why you complaining, you have an emergency room!"

 

The Cato Instutuide is just a front for the Koch brothers. They would be about as credible as McDonalds recomending nutrition.

Not quite, but Cato and the Koch brothers have similar beliefs, and Koch does fund them.
