I wonder how many people would be on board for a program to make Medicare available for free for households making over $100,000 annually with 1-3 children.
We're talking about families that are provably not lazy or sucking up handouts: taxpaying citizens with beautiful, healthy children. The job creators and professionals driving America, securing their future and their children's future.
If the government were to focus on these first-class citizens, who knows what could be accomplished once the drag is taken off the system of the useless eaters and the welfare queens.
Why do you limit it to people with children? Why do you assume that the children are beautiful and healthy?

Sure, why not try it? It's still 50% of America getting coverage.
After a few years maybe they'll realize that not having to think about health care insurance is a good thing actually (tm) and start supporting it for lower brackets of the population too.
That's a very funny way of looking at the world.
Many people feel that winners should be rewarded and losers should be punished.
Systems thinkers may try to push notions of connectedness in societies, and moralists may try to push notions of universal equality of human dignity, but in the end, both are overwhelmingly outnumbered by tribal thinkers, who wish to harm the outgroup at absolutely any cost.
Ironic
First class citizens? Wow, that is both disgusting and sad. What do you do that you think is so important and irreplacable that sets you above the average person?
