"....and big messes invite government interference whether we like it or not."

When I saw this line, it reminded me of the boy's bedrooms. Change the word "government" to "Mom's". They have to be a pretty big mess before I go in, but when I go in, watch out!

As a fellow conservative, I applaud your consistent and continued efforts to examine your life and bring all parts of it into alignment. :)

That being said, I think the differenct between "free" edcuation and "free" healthcare is that the latter is easier abused. People who wish to opt out of public education may not put the effort you or I might into their education, but they have definite ideas and they exercise their rights as citizens to think for themselves. Our current government model is not designed for the wise, effective use of a public healthcare system. The overhaul required wouldn't kill us, but it hasn't been thought out. The feared result is what happened to Hawaii when they created a "free" healthcare system. People dropped out of normal healthcare programs so they could use the state-sponsored program, and bankrupted the state in I think about three years. If every homeschooler or private schooler went to public school, would it crash the system? No, but they would miss out on benefits that the parents consider important (class size, individual attention/needs, time with love ones, etc.). If nationalized health care is used by all, is it going to crash itself? Weeeee.., debt isn't going to get any better. I think it's an argument FOR serving Mammon, but there it is.
