You yourself just agreed that government policy is flawed. Yet you somehow
don't agree that there just may be a corelation between the politicians who set the standards, and the contributors who serve to benefit from their decisions.
And as for your "just take care of yourself" argument, that's all well and good for folks who live in areas that aren't next to pollutant factories, who don't work in hazardous work conditions that may lead to both physical and other ailments, for folks who simply get cancer, for no reason, although they coulda SWORE they lived a healthy lifestyle, etc.
Life is full of choices with consequences, yes. But your happy little libertarian utopia of self-sufficiency can only go so far when people need to put food on their family's table and send their kids to college.
