Muddles "freedom" to mean "free shit paid for by someone else."
Benjamin Rush was a blood-letting quack. And apparently the quackery of Socialism was popular 250 years ago.

Example: Pay for a service I need because I can't afford it. I need you to pay for my Whole Foods grocery list because it is a Right that I have equal access to a healthy lifestyle. I need you to pay for my new A/C installation because it is a Right that I have equal access to comfortable living. Pay for my football tickets because it is a Right that I have equal access to entertainment.

The healthcare system doesn't cure disease it manages disease at high cost to maintain its vast industry. If we were all as healthy as say the people of Iceland all these pharma companies, doctors and nurses would be unemployed. If we wanted to cure diseases we would stop eating all the modern garbage and go back to evolutionary diets. All the big killers were almost unheard of before the 20th century and the mass introduction of modern foods like sugar and vegetable oils.
It's so bad that people who reject "healthcare" and take their health into their own hands via diet are seen as "extremists" all while the government spends billions subsidising and promoting the very foods that cause our diseases.

You SIR are so full of shit that it is coming out of every body orifice. Before modern medicine (20 century) over 1/2 of the children born never saw their 6th birthday. Also the average of death was about 35. Go back and read some history of the time, and get educated.
