I don’t have the time right now to rehash the old argument, but I did find the quotes (with links back to the original threads for full context):
ETA: I will say that I think one reason for the disagreement over these quotes, and the topic in general, is that I think the two sides are talking about completely different things, and that the way they see the above quotes don’t jive. It’s hard to explain; I’ll need time to work out my thoughts. I’m just not certain that the fact that I don’t personally live paycheck to paycheck just to pay for other peoples’ medical treatment means that socialized medicine is a bad idea. The two concepts don’t “connect” for me.
