I don't think anyone is opposed to a "proper" health care system. We just don't agree on the meaning of "proper".

"Proper" means "available and affordable to everyone" in my book.

My bad, I guess these people simply have a mis-understanding:

Welfare spending is so large it is difficult to comprehend. On average, the annual cost of the welfare system amounts to around $5,600 in taxes from each household that paid federal income tax in 2000. Adjusting for inflation, the amount taxpayers now spend on welfare each year is greater than the value of the entire U.S. Gross National Product at the beginning of the 20th century.

$5600... Hum, how many weeks of work is that after taxes?
