“Why are people on the left so obsessed about health care?”
Because ill people are victims of evil corporations, and the left see’s it as a voting block.

The real reason is ‘fairness’. It became apparent to me during the debate on HillaryCare that the only thing the left cared about on healthcare was that it was ‘fair’. No one should have any more or any less than anyone else. This point can be generalized. Any system, healthcare or other, must provide equal results. Otherwise it is ‘unfair’ and must be opposed by the left. This is why they opposed Bush’s social security reform. It provided better but unequal results. Hence it was unfair and must be defeated.
