I disagree. capital is wealth and thus status. the transfer of capital is the transfer of status which also provides the means to control assets. It's separate from the asset or service it is used to obtain.

"rigid? Even so, I don't see how you inferred any particular sense to my brief remark. Are you feeling rigid/ridged?"

I meant rigid...

You are right, you and I clearly disagree on who deserves what in this country, the capitalist or the producer. Clearly the capitalist is taking as much as he can and less is being produced as a result. When you say you don't have responsibility for the well being and health of others that is automatically dividing out yourself.

"Even if I am my brother's keeper, am I to keep an eye on him or by contrast, in effect jail him according to my personal moral opinions?"

jail is not a concern when providing health care, but morality on the other hand is. The statement "am I my brothers keeper" as I understand it does not pertain to watching my brothers actions but to my brother's needs. The community is perfectly able to deal out justice through the collective application of the law as administered through elected government.

nonsense, single payer is the government collecting the insurance money and paying the doctors without taking a profit for doing so.
It's non-profit insurance.

The gist of the situation for me is that we are a community, a society if you will, and as such we have a responsibility for the well being of everyone and thus the preservation of the community itself. Each of us should contribute what we are able to a pool that pays for the care of all, in the same way our taxes pay for our defense. The current "private" system leaves health care to those who can afford it only. This allows those who can to only take responsibility for themselves. The power of the collective will is felt through democracy itself. The exercise of democracy is being denied through the force of financial power. The health and well being of the community as represented by our taxes is suffering as a result. No private health system or private army can ever represent the will of the community because it has no responsibility to do so.

"believe single payer is the right way to go""

And what is the better way to go? Or better yet what should health care look like ideally? What should it be about to you?
