health care	31010001	31010002	Universal health care would require sacrifices by those who are "successful" in life and loss of freedom, in choice of doctor, availability of new medical treatment, and redistribution of wealth, as well as government intrusion into private behaviors

Gay marriage	B1500010	B1500009	Such arguments ignore consequences; people have to give up their own freedom to support marriage for others who themselves are less competitive; private sexual choice affects commitments one can make and leaves one open to sacrifice for others
Gay marriage	B1500011	B1500012	Family responsibility (to one's legal spouse, children, siblings, or parents in an eldercare situation) can authenticate one's own self-promotion. This can justify gay marriage if gay adoption is accepted.	DADTCh5

This kind of socialization is an important part of respect for human life for its own sake, an important value for the Western idea of freedom.	DADTCh5
