    I buy the analogy; the comment section, however, began to bore me until I came to the following comment by a (supposed) Canadian: "Now if this is about not wanting to pay for people who aren't 'contributing' to the economy, I understand why everyone is up in arms. YOU ALL... more

    This is a terrible, terrible excuse for a webcomic.

    "The selfishness of some of the commenters astounds me. Not all jobs provide healthcare and even if you have health insurance it often doesn't cover what is needed. I could go on here..." - Verena2010 Agreed. Thumbs up just for the comments. Such wide range of ideologies.

    The difference is that there has never been a way for a person to protect themselves from fire without their community. Centuries ago it was bucket lines, now it's fire departments. Health care has always been something people got for themselves, and so is not part of the traditionally American concept of the role of government. So, government run health care gets called un-American. And as far as I know there has never been "fire cover" in the U.S., just volunteer and city fire departments.

    Fire cover was the beginnings of the whole insurance business. Houses used to carry plaques on the wall to denote whether or not they had paid fire premiums and hence whether or not they should be helped in the case of a fire. Needless to say, this was hundreds of years before the colony in the USA was established so I would expect that fact not to be widely known there.

YOU ALL just don't want to pay for someone else's healthcare. Deep down you know it's true. Ask yourself when was the last time you got wound up and yelling at a town hall meeting over some ideological principle. NEVER. It's about not wanting to take care of others. Your health care system is about making money first." That pretty much sums up the Conservative Way, and (even more) the Libertarian Way - ME first. Screw the rest of you.

    That's not a stupid comparison at all. It's perfect. Health is considered to be a public good by the rest of the world, just as we consider fire protection to be a public good. Public goods can not be dispersed by markets or by private companies very efficiently, as indicated by high cost and comparatively lower quality of health care in the United States relative to other capital rich countries.
