Part of the problem is that we just live so damn long these days. Kind of a Catch-22, isn't it?

Would my post(about the government type) work?

Also, you said ideology doesn't follow party lines. How do you choose what party to be a "member" of? If it isn't necessarily one ideology. I'm genuinely curious; I've heard stuff like 3 senators(or representatives) voting with the other side, etc. How and why does this happen?

I'm enjoying the education here Appreciate your responses.

I would suggest you look up various parties in wiki, read the summaries, and go to their linked sites and see what they say their agendas are. I'm not going to compile that much information for you. If you look into libertarians for example, you will find the common ground they have is anti-authoritarian. Otherwise, they vary a great deal between conservative and liberal ideology.

I would suggest leaving government type out of your argument except to say any required health care at a national level is adding authoritarianism and socialism or communism to our free nation, making it less free.

LOL...

No kidding. Those advocating 100% coverage one way or another also want their lives endlessly extended... Just how expensive can that get?
