The questions about government medicine I asked yesterday are not out of hysteria. Unfortunately, too many people have not learned from history that when government intrudes into private matters of the citizens, ineptness, corruption and violations of human rights become the norm, and result in the spread of misery throughout the land. We see what government has done to our country, everywhere from in the inner cities to emergency rooms, and in education, the mortgage industry and the value of the dollar.
Our current health care system is far superior
and helps a much higher proportion of the population than any other country with government medicine. And our current system is hardly a free market system, because of so many intrusions by government. Those intrusions, and all the government bureaucracy, regulations and mandates are what have driven up the costs of health care, along with frivolous malpractice lawsuits that drive up the cost of malpractice insurance.
President Obama and his fellow leftists are trying to turn our country into another Soviet Union–and that’s no exaggeration–with their propaganda and lies, while they accuse their opponents of using propaganda and lies. People really need to learn from history.
I’ve said this several times, and I’ll keep saying this, especially if Romney runs in 2012, but Willard Mitt Romney’s CommonwealthCare, the Big Dig of health care, is

The Soviet symbol
actually a great example of why government should get the hell out of the medical business. And who the hell is Willard Mitt Romney to tell us, “You must-MUST-have health insurance?” Sorry to sound like a broken record. Here are some more links about that: Intensive Care for RomneyCare and Lessons on the Fall of RomneyCare and this more recent assessment by the Taxachusetts state treaurer.
