The faster it becomes a "fundamental human right" the faster we migrate
from being entrepreneurs, and start becoming the same level as water
workers, sewer workers, trash pickup, postal workers, and whatever. The
more the government gets involved with something, the worse it gets.
When the bureaucrats get to making things like this a required service
(which they inevitably will in our lifetimes) then there will be no
difference than a utility or postal service, with prices capped and
profitability extinguished. Another thing that will take us this
direction will be the mass consolidation similar to the 250 phone
companies that all became AT&T in the first part of the 1900's. They all
were either bought up or squashed by the competition. Maybe we won't all
end up like that. Hard to say.

That's just grandstanding. Take a hit from the reality pipe- people are
homeless, people starve to death right here in the good ole USA. The
list could go on and on about folks whose basic needs and rights are not
being met. Im with Tom- many people just aren't willing to pay what the
service costs. I wish they were though.....
