When public healthcare is referred to as an "option", that in itself depresses me as indicative of how far to the right of centre the space of debate has shifted.

(The phrase that belongs there is "fundamental human right". It's not optional.)

It's hard not read the countermeme as deeply disingenuous; public healthcare is a solved problem everywhere else in the West. (And come to think of it, in some parts of the West, so is terrorism. There is no more FLQ in Quebec, for example.)
