Ronin, I am curious how you parse this:

You're against Obamacare, right? I assume so.

Why is it the govt's job to spend billions of dollars and empower criminal gangs with billions more dollars to protect people from themselves, but not its job to make sure everyone has access to healthcare?

For the record, I'm against both, but both seem to clearly be part of the "big brother is here to protect you" philosophy. I'd like to know how the pro-drug-war folks differentiate the two philosophically.

Certainly, lack of access to healthcare ruins a lot of lives and even leads to many deaths.
