Quote of the Day:

A mandatory public health care system is a universal adapter for unlimited Nanny State legislation, because there’s very little personal behavior that wouldn’t impact public health care costs in some way. -Marko, The Munchkin Wrangler

The medical profession's answer to the coommerce clause.
Many moons ago, there was a science fiction novel called _caduceus wild_ by Ward Moore. It described a 'medarchy'.
When it was published, it was fiction. Now...?
Another scary short story, available at http://billstclair.com/DoingFreedom/000623/df.0600.fa.lipidleggin.html, is _Lipidleggin'_, by F. Paul Wilson. Same theme, tres scary.

Yep, definitely.

Here in Australia we have public health care. As a psuedo-libertarian I don't feel comfortable with the idea of victimless crimes, but unfortunately being a moron and ODing or crashing your car while your not wearing a seatbelt is not a victimless crime. I have to pay for your stupidity.
