Practical philosophy and national health care

This post may well be the best I've ever read on health care, as well as my favorite on political-economic philosophy in general.

I'm really looking forward to some kind of rebuttal, as I honestly can't begin to imagine what one would look like.  Guess I'm too far in the tank.

(if anything, I'd try to come at it from the right and explain my support for a flat tax)
