I'm sorry but me owning the government money in no way correlates to me
owing them access to my DNA.

Why should the goverment know more about my health than my doctor, family or
myself? A moral question here that no-one in North America has answered yet.
Should you be denied health care that may extend your lifespan even if it is
only for 12 months? Who would be the person to decide the guidelines? I take
a firm stand that my government has absolutely no business assessing my
health. That is between me and my health care provider. The government may
pay the bills but I give them the money to cover it.

Ah, that old argument. If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear.
This is exactly how the Nazi SS troops operated as they went frome home to
home murdering anyone they felt like. Do you realize that your argument
directly opposes the rights and freedoms afforded to the citizens of every
democratic society out there? I am not goverment property.

Do you really think that it will happen? Civilzations have fallen for less
than that. Thihs country is already way too socialist as it is. What happens
when we turn our liberties completely over to the government? What happens
when Canada becomes a completely socialist country. It is not far fetched to
assume the US might take some pretty strong actions against this.
