You would vote no even if you got free healthcare in exchange?

"Free" health care paid for by whom?

"Free" health care paid for by people richer than me? There aren't enough of them to pay for all us slackers. "Free" health care pair for by people poorer than me? That's actually probably what is going to happen if I retire early.

I vote no.

If a majority votes yes, does that absolve me of guilt that poor people are paying for my early retirement?

I vote yes!

What a hell you have there, public goods like healthcare or transport are impossible unless paid by the poor?
