Will Obamacare succeed where term limits failed?

[Husar]

Didn't Ayn Rand herself say that one should take advantage of every government benefit possible, even if they should all be eliminated ultimately?

The idea was that you're looking out for your own self-interest and technically getting back your taxes anyway.

Ayn Rand is not part of my self-interest, so I do not care.

The first, yes. The second, no.

The point about being a hypocrite was that when you think society shouldn't foot the bill, yet unload it onto others because you cannot pay, well...
As for self-interest, it is the reason insurance exists. People who can think further than the tip of their own nose realize that they may not be able to pay a huge bill one day so they share the risk with others. There is no huge necessity for altruism.
