"You answered that question yourself. It's a contract."

The government may have a duty in enforcing a contract to ensure the terms are met, and mette out punishment if the terms are violated. But why should the government be allowed to tell me who I can enter into contract with, and how I can enter into contract with.

"Many countries have government sponsored health care. The fact that the united states does not, that it has a private for profit system and has such a high infant mortality rate, is criminal."

And in many countries, the government sponsored healthcare systems are failing. Last I checked, 15,000 people didn't die during a heatwave in the United States... That and the fact that European countries continue to reduce their services while increasing taxes shows us the public system is not feasible under current models.

Point being, a for profit model is advantageous if properly utilized because it results in better, and more efficient service. Ask yourself why Europeans and Canadians come to the United States for their healthcare if they can afford to - it's because in a private system the doctors aren't overloaded with too many patients, and you don't have to wait years for surgery...
