Why is health care considered so different to policing and education?

We don't have insurance policies to cover police costs if our homes are broken into, and most children attend government funded schools. What makes healthcare different to that? If people oppose government supplied healthcare surely they believe we should directly pay for education and policing (through insurance, not taxation). If not, why not?

Try reading the preamble to our Constitution,

First off public safety is one of the main duties of any government (Establish Justice and Provide for the common defense), and sorry to burst your bubble, but homeowners DO pay insurance to replace items that are stolen.

The reason we send our children to public schools is so they can be trained to be good citizens (secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity). This is why we stop paying for their education after High School. Higher learning is designed to provide them with skills to become better employees and for that they have to pay.

Health care is not a right. The Constitution says the job of our government is to PROMOTE the general welfare. Not PROVIDE for the general welfare.
