Gummint Healthcare Short Version

World’s Shortest Health Care Debate (Made even shorter)

“” [...] There’s lots more wrangling to be done about that Ohio decision, and the only thing that can be stated with confidence is that Anthony Kennedy will end up making the final call. One thing I know for an absolute certainty, is no matter how ObamaCare turns out, more is coming afterward; we aren’t finished with statist politicians beseeching us to support this-or-that centrally-managed scheme. That’s going to go on and on. The non-productive people will always want to make rules about how the productive people produce. [...] Pick a year. Like, for example, 1975. Would you say government has become more involved or less involved in the administration of medical care since 1975? Wow, that was easy. Okay. Would you say medical services have become more customer-oriented, or less customer-oriented, since 1975? [...] How about cost? Would you get slapped with bill for two thousand bucks after having your hand stitched up in the emergency room — in 1975? [...] So, government has gotten much more involved. Customer service is down, screw-ups are routine and expected, costs are soaring out of sight. No need to argue in a vacuum about what “would” happen with more government intervention. We already know. We know it for an absolute, tested fact. Argument over.  [House of Arrestallthese] Sweet.
