Really? On the heals of the huge banking fiasco of this past year, the government wants to get deeper into running the nation’s healthcare system? Remember, the U.S. banking system has been massively regulated by the government for over 70 years! And it still has a break-down from time to time.
Really? After various levels of government management of education for a century or more, the federal level now wants to double down on the healthcare system? Remember, public education is all-but the only game in town. Only the fairly-well-off can afford to pay for both public education taxes and then tuition for private schools.
Why does the government think it can do everything better, despite evidence to the contrary? Why does the suggestion that the government back off a bit get ridiculed as radical? Could you ever imagine suggesting the government not impose central regulation on banking or that people should be free to choose their own school?
After a few decades of public healthcare with all its benefits and failures, will it be radical to propose ending the system?
