or you can keep believing the govt is trying to trick you into buying their healthcare in order to make billions... to... provide you with healthcare...

Yes, because our government is clearly a bastion of altruistic actions. If you want to live in a baby state and have the government provide for you, so be it - I on the other hand prefer the freedom to make my own choices and live my life as I see fit.

it follows that this liberty of each, limited by the like liberties of all, is the rule in conformity with which all society must be organized. Freedom being the pre-requisite to normal life in the individual, equal freedom becomes the pre-requisite to normal life in society. And if this law of equal freedom is the primary law of right relationship between man and man, then no desire to get fulfilled a secondary law can warrant us in breaking it.

Spencer was a smart guy. To infringe upon the liberty of select individuals for the monetary benefit of others is morally reprehensible. The only instance in which it is socially acceptable to limit individual liberty is when that individual liberty restricts the liberty of others. With that being said, social programs do not apply due to the fact that they limit the liberty of some with no benefit to the notion of over all equal liberty. Again, the focus here is not on general equality, but equality of freedom.
