Health care isn't a revolution or a war.
Abolition was innevitable because the founding documents of America promised life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The American Revolution happened in the midst of an enlightenment because foundational ideas like "consent of the governed" were flying around. Although abolition and the Revolution were contentious, they weren't as complex as the health care debate:
Life and liberty? Abolition!
Taxation without representation? Revolution!
There are natural connections between these ideas.
Where are the natural connections between America's foundational ideas and an overgrown state-run health care system? I don't like the way the OP said it, but he's probably right.
