Do we not have a universal public education system that provides a means for all people to be afforded the same educational opportunities for the masses? How many of us would actually be educated right now if only those that could afford to send their kids off to school to get an education were educated? Granted the Public school systems may not be the best, but at least they are something.
I believe that just like public education there must be some form of health care provided for every citizen. This health care should be run by the state and local governments just like public education is. If you can afford better, then by all means go buy yourself something better, but lets not deprive those of a necessity. Health care is a necessity and more so than education as far as I'm concerned.
If you truly believe that this is an extreme act of socialism then withdrawl your kids from their public schools.

Good post. There should be choice, and both should be available. I'm sure the logistics of implementing this kind of system would be complex, but cut and dry, I agree with you here.
