You're not getting my point. I never said governments shouldn't pay for medical care. I'm saying there's a line where it needs to stop, and asking where it should be drawn. Sure, let's pay for cancer treatments. How much, exactly? I posited a hypothetical scenario, which can get extremely real if we start looking at real situations of benefits fraud, and asked you how we should deal with that. Are you really saying that the government should just pay whatever I want to charge for my service that doesn't work? If it does work, can I charge the government whatever I want to provide it? What you're not understanding here is that this, and every other example of asking the government to do things, is manipulable by humans and thus is an adversarial process. Because the government isn't God, it doesn't have truly unlimited resources.
