If you are at all concerned about the debate on health care,this is a worth while read.   I just spent my breakfast and lunch following the links in the article to original news stories cited.

First of all, government run health care doesn't work very well.  Government run anything doesn't work very well and getting your driver's license, enrolling in kindergarten or driving the interstate system is no where near as complicated as the medical care of over 300 million people.  If I were only concerned with how it works, you would have to convince me that the federal bureaucracy is, and will always be peopled by nothing but the most honest, compassionate, selfless folks who have ever walked the earth not just today, but forever, regardless of which political party is in charge.  You would have to convince me that no one who is ever involved in running the health care system would ever use their position for monetary gain, personal gain, influence peddling or any other imaginable corruption.  Does that seem realistic to you? 

Second of all, it's extremely expensive not only in high taxes but in the quality of care for far too many people.  How can you fall for the bait and switch of "free" anything from the government when the government gets all it's money from the people?  Someone has to pay for everything.  Everything.  If you're attitude is "at least it's not me", then you are a thief at heart.  Lots of people are.  Lots of those people work for the government.  See my first point. 

Finally and most important in my opinion, no free people have any business at all abdicating this kind of personal responsibility to the government and no government that claims to represent a free people has any business attempting such a take over.

It's about the Liberty, stupid!
