Background: I've been having a debate with my liberal uncle over universal healthcare vs. free market healthcare and when I suggested that the a barter system could be used by the poor in lieu of money, he acted like that was even worse.

Any thoughts on why people seem to think that a barter system is so bad?

Can you explain why your uncle thinks the barter system is bad?

He thinks the government should take care of everyone and the taxpayers should pay for it.
