I think that's interesting.
Even I can see the hole in your analogy here.

Supposedly, if we can afford the bailout which I find to be a dubious assumption, it's supposed to be paid back.

That's a big difference between a huge loan to obligating yourself to continued eternal obligations with no end in sight and no repayment of principal or interest.

UHC is simply another albatross around the necks of taxpayers. The bailout may be as well, but a poor analogy, and probably a troll by you.
