> You are basically saying you don't want "big government" to tell you want you can't do, even though those rules and limitations would make your society better for everyone overall.

You're demonstrating a very common misconception, which is that people who don't want the government to perform a function do not want that function to be performed, or that certain functions can only be performed by a government.

> It's very simple. Everyone is equal. A billionaire is treated the same as a homeless person. A strongly classed society (like America) does not like this idea, because Americans define success as "better than other people". Public healthcare would take away this distinction.

Is there a competition being held in this thread to see who can make the most ridiculous generalization? Seriously, at least put forth a bit of effort into making your argument seem remotely credible.
