Why does that argument get applied to healthcare, and not to education? Those bright yellow government provided schoolbuses painted National School Bus Glossy Yellow aren't paid for out of educational transport insurance copays, you know...

Vouchers are a mechanism for diverting government funds to individually chosen (government accredited) education providers. They aren't comparable to employer funded private 'insurance' programs. In healthcare terms they more resemble Medicaid. They're hardly an example of rugged individualism.
