    But this may be a fundamental difference in outlook - the left in America (and the establishment right like Romney) wants to insure everyone either because of the moral issues or the cost savings involved.

    But for the far right and libertarians this never enters into the picture, they could care less whether people are insured. Doesn't seem like you will ever be able to reconcile those two points of view.
