    Because they don't belong to the public. They belong to the government. Also, when someone from the lower tier of society dies from inadequate medical care, those posh politicians running office in Washington can care less. But if Washington get obliterated by a stolen nuclear warhead, that's cause for concern.

    Government does deliver healthcare. It's written into legislation that doctors and their colleges have the right to deliver services and make decisions about their practice. They're part of the government. Plus, in some countries healthcare is socialized by governments, so it is administered by it. Also, no one really trusts government with nuclear weapons, it just is in charge of them. We can't do anything about it.

    how the heck are you able to think those lazy, grasping, inefficient and self propagating authorities workers with your self protection?: I own a gun so my self protection is my company no longer authorities. Republicans, why do you think the authorities with Nuclear guns, yet no longer with a Stethoscope?: that's consumer-friendly to hind the wrongful lack of life of the fellow yet no longer a city. There are checks and balances contained in the launch of Nuclear guns use no longer in Obama's therapy Plan. i desire i did not smash your theory!
