How is no (my response) a stupid response? On the contrary, it's the logical response.

Because believing that all people should not have access to quality healthcare, or nutritious food, or adequate housing, in this country or any country is a stupid response.  

It's one thing to believe Obamacare or any "liberal solution" is the wrong plan for universal healthcare.  It's another thing to believe that universal healthcare is a wrong goal.

It depends on what is meant by "universal healthcare".  If by that one means that everyone can receive every possible medical treatment that would reasonably improve their quality of life or prolong their lifespan,then it is the wrong goal.  As admirable as it is, it is not sustainable.  By removing the price signal, and not instituting any other signal in its place, the resulting system has no incentive to reduce costs and every incentive to develop ever more expensive treatments that suck more and more of the economy into the healthcare segment.

Universal five-star healthcare is the wrong goal.  Universal adequate care is likely achievable, but our current system won't allow for it.
