Well, some people need free health care to continue to live, and to fund hospitals, we need money, and for them to get money, they need to tax you because usually people couldn't afford to pay for most medical services on thier own, when they need them the most.

I believe i said something about supporting goernment funded health services. Profit from fees could be used to fund that. And with less taxes that would be affordable.

I've come to the conclusion that the fees could be done in a way that is more to the liking of all of you and most of society and would perhaps be a better way than what I've so far implied (and actually meant). Those fees could by default be automatic like taxes, but you have the choice to opt out. However, if you do you don't get the cheaper healthcare, access to the roads, etc, unless you paid fees that are higher than the automatic fees at the time of use. In that situation not many people would choose to opt out. Only idiots or those with little need for the services would opt of automatic payments. I for example would opt out of road fees, since I almost never use roads and when I do it's in someone elses' car as a passenger or public transport. Since most of us would be choosing not to opt out of most things, it wouldn't be theft, because by doing that we're approving of the money being taken. is that more to everyone's liking than my original suggestions? I know I think it is.
