Vidyohs is about the only one who has had the guts to that “if someone can’t afford medical treatment or can’t get someone to sponsor them and they face certain death from an otherwise treatable condition/illness then tough cheese”.

Actually, when it comes to people who had the misfortune to be born outside of certain arbitrarily defined geographical boundaries, that seems to be the opinion of virtually everyone, even the most bleeding heart liberals.

Haha – no.

Public education guarantees an outcome as much as the universal provision of any other good or service is a guarantee of equality of outcome. Education is as much a service as health care.

Granted, it is also an opportunity.

I’ve talked about the tangled nature of equality of opportunity and equality of outcomes here: http://factsandotherstubbornthings.blogspot.com/2009/03/entangled-nature-of-equality.html

Any attempt to pretend that you can treat them separately is an exercise in futility.
